Sample, slice, transform and reconstruct audio to synthesize completely new sounds
The LIVEN Texture Lab offers a wide variety of sound textures ranging from beautifully lush ambient pads to chaotically aggressive experimental noise that will take you to new sonic frontiers.
The Texture Lab uses a granular processor that slices sounds into grains ranging from 2 ms to 1 second in length, then transforms and reconstructs them in a variety of ways, including manipulating grain shape, density, time warp, spatial position, and playback method to create entirely new sounds.
Granular synthesis parameters are easily accessed from 10 knobs and are designed for intuitive control.
Granular synthesizer with granular effects processor mode
The LIVEN Texture Lab is a 4-voice polyphonic synthesizer that can record 32 samples of up to 6 seconds, generate grains from any part of a sample, and synthesize them using two modulations sources, an envelope generator, and process the sound through different filter types.
The Texture Lab can also be used as an effects processor for real-time granular processing of stereo signals from the line input. It is also possible to freeze the flowing sounds for 6 seconds to add granulated sound effects.
Shimmer reverb for fantastical and majestic sounding spaces
The LIVEN Texture Lab features six high-quality stereo reverb types. All reverb types have a shimmer parameter that allows you to layer reverb on top of reverb in octaves to create fantastical and majestic sounding spaces.
The shimmer reverb can also be applied to the stereo signal from the line input.
128-step sequencer with parameter locking
The LIVEN Texture Lab is equipped with a high-performance 128-step sequencer that has earned the LIVEN series a solid reputation. In addition to recording notes, it can also record changes in granular processing parameters over time.
You can record knob operations in real time or directly record parameters to specific steps allowing for more complex sound textures.
Sequence up to 128 steps per pattern.
Save up to 128 patterns.
Sub-divide the tempo down to 32nd notes.
Program notes step by step or record them in real time. Additionally, you can also input notes to specific steps while the sequencer is playing to add variation.
Sequence longer notes over up to 128 steps (Tied Notes).
The Parameter Lock function allows you to record knob changes into your patterns. This can be recorded live, or programmed in step by step.
World-famous sound designers have provided presets as results of their experiments
