Full Disclosure: I occasionally take on freelance work at Sonicware on an hourly rate producing synth & sample sound design, beta testing, checking English text and video manuals like this. Any other shorter videos on my channel containing Sonicware products are not paid content.


A new version 3.0 firmware has been released for the Liven 8Bit Warps that adds some new feature, a pack of new drum sounds and generally tidy's things up a bit. You can download it from this page on the Sonicware website under the 8Bit Warps tab:

Here's a more detailed description on adding the drum sound memory presets:
Set yourself up for transmitting midi sysex in the same way as you would for updating the Livens but power up normally. Then select a sound memory you'd like to overwrite by pressing MEM and turning the encoder. The drum sounds are save M.100 to M.128 so it makes sense to use those if they are free. Then transmit one of the drum sounds into the Liven (M.100 for example), the Liven will receive the sound and you should be able to play it on the keys to test it but it's not yet saved so press func+MEM (save) and you'll be prompted to choose a place to save it. If you want to just overwrite the memory slot you chose earlier press OK and it's now saved. You'll need to repeat this for each individual drum sound if you want them all.
