In the video, synthesist Dylan Ferno takes a look at the capabilities of the Sonicware Liven Ambient Zero, arguing that it’s capable of much more than ambient music.
While the Ambient Zero has featured tailored to ambient music, it’s also a drum machine and groovebox.
Here’s what Ferno has to say about it:
“It’s not just a wavetable synth for ambient music, but also an FM synth and drum machine, as well as a sampler and effects pedal that can be used to make any genre! It’s possible that Sonicware wanted to fill a niche in the market by making a pure ambient synth, but it turns out this groovebox is much more than that.”

The Sonic State Sonic Lab ‘Exploration’ features hosts Nick Batt & Gaz Williams talking with Geert Bevin, Head of Software Development at Moog Music about the latest version of Animoog Galaxy for Apple Vision Pro.
The first version of Apple Vision Pro is expensive and has a limited audience, but it’s also arguably the most ambitious mixed-reality headset yet. Future iterations are likely to be more affordable, and expand the audience for Vision Pro applications.
Moog jumped in early with Vision Pro, releasing Animoog Galaxy with the debut of Vision Pro.
In the video, Bevin demonstrates Animoog Galaxy and shows how it fits into Apple’s concept of Spatial Computing.
Here’s what’s new in Animoog Galaxy version 1.2.0:
Added support for Spatial Audio in immersive mode, following the position of the comets and with a slider in settings that can attenuate or increase the spatialization.
Updated recorder to always record the stereo version, even if Spatial Audio is enabled.
Added support for resizable volume in shared space.
Re-implemented shared space preset browser to use ornaments.
Tweaked immersion style limits.
Adopted new highlight styles to make focused entities more obvious.
