Sonicware, the Japanese manufacturer behind the LIVEN Texture Lab and Lofi-12 groovebox, has unveiled its latest synth, the LIVEN Mega Synthesis.
Mega Synthesis recreates the sound of the world's first 16-bit video game console, the Sega Genesis (or Mega Drive, to us Brits). Released in 1989, the Genesis made use of the YM2612 sound chip, which Sonicware has emulated in precise detail through the development of three separate components.
