Features:
A Journey Through Mindscapes
* Woven with acoustronic sound and granular effect

Nostalgia-Evoking Ambient Music Box
* Evoke is an ambient music box featuring a drumless ensemble of four synthesized acoustic instruments, ideal for cinematic ambient and post-classical music.
* Easily layer sounds using Direct Note Input, Note Hold, and One-Finger Chord mode—then apply the granular effect to explore soothing and immersive sonorities.

Play Chords with One Finger
* Evoke comes with 16 chord styles, including both scale-based types such as diatonic chords and intuitive 'Chord-Pad' styles that offer pleasant progressions simply by tapping keys in sequence—like a pad.

Acoustronic Flux Oscillator
* Evoke features the new synth engine Acoustronic Flux Oscillator, which generates an evolving sound where acoustic and electronic elements resonate and seamlessly blend together.
* By synthesizing INST, which captures the delicate sonic transitions of acoustic instruments, with WAVE, which adds harmonic and textural variation, Evoke delivers its own distinctive acoustronic sound.
* The INST features 34 acoustic instruments, each containing a set of 256 Acoustic Characteristic Arrays, and applies BACKTIDE modulation to reverse their evolution like an ebbing tide and add an undulating motion.
* The WAVE offers 20 waveforms, each constructed from 128 harmonic tables, enabling rich harmonic movement and pitch control across a ±2-octave range.
Additionally, 2 types of filtered white noise generators are available for selection.
* By interweaving INST and WAVE, Evoke delivers a wide spectrum of sounds—from nostalgic pianos and drone strings to bizarre vibraphones.

Grain FX: Musical Granular Effect
* Evoke is equipped with a dedicated granular effect, Grain FX, that slices your phrases into micro-grains and transforms and reconstructs them in a variety of ways—manipulating grain shape, time warp, spatial position, and playback method—to create entirely new sounds.
* Grain pitch can be harmonized in octaves, perfect fifths, and various musical scales, while buffer sizes from 8th notes to a full bar sync to your pattern's tempo—together delivering a musical granular effect.
* Grain FX send levels can be set on each track, and the effect can also be applied to the stereo signals from the line input.
* 16 preset patches* let you dial in musical granular effects with just 2 Grain FX knobs.

Dense & Multi-Dimensional Reverb
* Evoke offers 10 diverse reverb types—including the veiled ambience 'Mirage'—whose deep reverberations transport you into a world of reminiscence.
* You can adjust send levels per track as well as Grain FX sends. Combine the reverb with Grain FX to create various spatial effects such as shimmer reverb.

All-in-One 4-Track Sequencer
* Evoke provides LIVEN's signature 4-track sequencer—known for recording both your performances and any changes in sound parameters—allowing you to craft a wide variety of compositions.
* By simply connecting SYNC or MIDI cables, you can also play in sync with the Ambient Ø and any other electronic instruments.
* 64 Steps: Sequence up to 64 steps per pattern.
* RND Sequence: Random playback of sequence phrases.
* Dice: Probability of notes sounding can be set from 25 - 100%.
* 128 Patterns: Save up to 128 patterns (Includes 16 excellent preset patterns crafted by sound designers worldwide—ideal for use as creative templates.)
* 3-way Recording: Program step by step, record in real time, or even add notes on the fly while the sequencer is running—for dynamic variation.
* Parameter Lock: The Parameter Lock captures knob movements per step in real time, or lets you input them manually step by step for detailed sound changes.

Play On The Go: Portable, Built-In Speaker, Battery-Powered
* Step away from your usual workspace and take Evoke into your living room or outdoors. When Evoke's sound melts into the surrounding ambience, you'll discover true serenity.
