Sonicware LIVEN Texture Lab

Sonicware LIVEN Texture Lab – Granular Synthesizer & Effects Processor

The LIVEN Texture Lab is a portable granular synthesizer and effects processor that lets you sample, slice, transform, and reconstruct audio into entirely new textures. With 4-voice polyphony, up to 64 grains, lush shimmer reverbs, and a powerful 128-step sequencer with parameter locking, it’s designed for both experimental sound design and live performance. Lightweight, battery-powered, and equipped with a built-in speaker, the Texture Lab is ready to create anywhere.
