What is it?
Sonicware is a relatively new company that has chosen an arguably tough route to market: music production hardware with a difference, and at an affordable price. Its Liven range – which includes Ambient O, 8bit Warps, and Lofi-12 – perhaps sums up its target audience: those after something a little off-kilter or genre-specific, and products that the big oil tankers like Roland and Yamaha would never attempt a turning for, let alone sell for just $239.
