Sonicware Liven Ambient 0 Soundscape Synthesizer

Description

Immersive Ambient Generator

4 layers of tone and textureDrone, Pad, Atmos, and Noisemerge to generate deep resonance and continuous transformation.

Ambient (zero) is incredibly easy to use. Start by playing a tone from one layer using the note hold function. While listening closely, simply tweak the knobs to modify the tone and add other layers to shape a pleasing sound.
