Sonicware LIVEN Evoke

A Versatile Tool for Creative Sound Design!

The LIVEN Evoke from Sonicware gives you an impressive blend of acoustic elements and digital soundscapes — ideal for ambient, film scoring, post-classical, or experimental sound design. Its innovative "Acoustronic Flux Oscillator" merges realistic instrument samples with digital waveforms, opening entirely new expressive possibilities. In addition, a powerful grain effects section provides creative textures and atmospheric sound spaces. Finally, four sequencer-equipped tracks and numerous performance tools deliver maximum creative freedom.

Sound Design & Synthesis

The LIVEN Evoke gives you 34 realistic instrument samples — piano, strings, winds, ethnic string instruments, and more. These are complemented by 20 digital waveforms and 2 white-noise generators with filter options. The "Acoustronic Flux Oscillator" technology fuses acoustic material with digital tones, creating an organically digital sonic character that's perfect for atmospheric music. An LPF, HPF, and BPF are available, along with envelopes (attack/release) and two assignable LFOs per track. (Source: Manufacturer)

Granular Effect "Grain FX"

The Grain FX section lets you control up to 12 grains simultaneously, with pitch quantization (octave, fifth, scales), adjustable size, direction, feedback, buffer time, and randomization. 16 factory Grain presets are loaded and interchangeable. The effect can be enabled per track — even external signals via LINE IN can be processed.

Effects & Ambience

Ten high-quality reverb types — including the special ambience "Mirage" — let you craft dense, multidimensional spaces. Send level is adjustable per track; combined with Grain FX it creates shimmering reverbs and creative soundscapes.

Sequencer & Performance

Equipped with four independent tracks, the LIVEN Evoke offers up to 64 steps per pattern and stores up to 128 patterns (including 16 presets). Parameter lock, note probability, random playback, and step or real-time input are built in. Play chords with a single key — 16 chord modes including diatonic pad chords. An arpeggiator with 13 play modes and a glide option completes the package.

Connectivity & Mobility

The synth features MIDI IN/OUT (DIN), SYNC IN/OUT, LINE IN (stereo), LINE OUT, and a headphone jack. With compact dimensions of 297 x 176 x 48 mm and a weight of just 790 g, it's ideal for mobile use. It also includes a built-in speaker. Power can be supplied via a 9 V adapter or 6 x AA batteries (up to 10 hours runtime; adapter/batteries not included).

With the LIVEN Evoke you're well equipped to bring your sonic visions to life!
