A Handful of Patterns on the Sonicware Liven Mega Synthesis

When I was a kid my family got a Sega Genesis (Megadrive) at Christmas.

I’ve been cursed by a love for FM synths since…

I’m so dang nostalgic for the sounds and music of that era that when this little groovebox was announced I ordered right away!

Liven Mega Synthesis…
M-Sega S-Genesis… ?

I got the flu right when it arrived so I hadn’t spent as much time with it as I planned.
I got better!

It’s battery powered so I take it with me sometimes to play on work lunch breaks, or chilling on the sofa with family.

Here are a handful of patterns I’ve been playing on it. You may recognize couple from games!

Not only do I love the gritty crunchy sounds of this thing, I like how the sequencer works; especially its stutter and random modes. They’re great for fills on drums and grooves on bass.

For great justice.
