## Description

Product Description ● Retro sampling engine with 12bit Sampler mode ● Easily play samples chromatically across the keyboard ● Powerful 4-track sequencer with parameter and sound locking ● Laid-back knob for creating drunk beats ● 12 types of Effects each track and 9 types of Master Effect ● New features of version 2.0: Resampling, Chopping, and Remix Effect Lightweight, battery-powered, and built-in speaker, play anywhere! Retro sampling engine with 12bit Sampler mode The LIVEN Lofi-12 has a 16bit - 12kHz/24kHz sampling engine with the 12bit Sampler mode that will turn any sound into a pleasing lo-fi sound. Like the many legendary samplers that were released in the late 80s, this is a genuine low-bit and low sampling frequency sound that cannot be obtained authentically with bit crusher effects and other modern sound degrading tools. Up to 4 seconds mono sampling per sample slot (2 seconds mono sampling at the 24kHz mode). Start and end point trimming, pitch adjustment, reverse playback, sustain loop, filtering and LFO modulation are all possible. Easily play samples chromatically across the keyboard Sounds sampled by the LIVEN Lofi-12 are automatically assigned to the keyboard and can be played easily at different pitches . The well-known vintage sampler technique of sampling a 33 RPM vinyl at 45 RPM then slowing it down created the gritty, lo-fi sound that is often heard in '90s hip-hop. The LIVEN Lofi-12 makes it easy to recreate that sound! 88 carefully selected lo-fi preset sounds are included. Powerful 4-track sequencer with parameter and sound locking The LIVEN Lofi-12 is equipped with the powerful 4-track step sequencer that has earned the LIVEN XFM a solid reputation. You can easily create a 4-part song by selecting a sampled sound for each track, and with the Sound Lock function, you can easily switch sampled sounds for each phrase or sequencer step , allowing you to use an almost infinite combination of sounds within a single song. Laid-back knob for creating drunk beats The Laid-back knob on the LIVEN Lofi-12 allows you to delay the start of the selected sampled sound . For example, you can slightly delay the snare drum sound in your drum pattern, or use the Parameter Lock function to shift the sound timing later for each step individually . 12 types of Effects each track and 9 types of Master Effect The LIVEN Lofi-12 features independent effects on all four tracks . You can select from 12 types of effects from the LIVEN series, and the effect parameters can be automated in steps using the Parameter Lock function . In addition, 6 types of high-quality Reverbs + Cassette Tape Simulator , Vinyl Simulator , and Remix performance effect are included as the master effect. The send amount can be adjusted for each track for mixing. New features of version 2.0 The new features expand its capabilities meaning it's easier to use whilst making it a more flexible music production tool . ● Resampling Patterns and tracks can be resampled by internally recording the audio output into a new sample. Real-time resampling of your keyboard playing is also possible. ● Chopping Two new voice modes called ‘Drum’ and ‘Chop’ auto-slice samples easily with the newly developed Downbeat Divider*. Sliced sections of a sample are then spread across the keyboard making finger drumming possible. ● Remix Effect A beat repeater effect ‘R.MIX’, added to the master effect options, makes glitchy real-time performances possible. The new features are designed to work well with each other so you can easily create drum tracks with auto-slicing and record lively performances that are not constrained by the grid of the internal step sequencer .You can also resample samples and tracks for infinite effects processing.

Review: A great sampling groovebox! - I've purchased in the past a few other devices like the Korg sample 2 and po-33, but for me the lofi-12 is definitely a step up and a great piece of kit with good value. There's a learning curve when first using it which is probably best solved by watching the you tube tutorials. It's slightly on the large side but has a better feel as a musical instrument than its rival devices. It has a few minor annoying things like the pattern chaining not allowing the same pattern to be chained several times, but it's generally nice to use and fun, allowing spontaneous music creation. Sound quality seems really good, and the FX features are also great.
Review: Very powerful for the price - I kinda don't get why the liven range get such mixed reviews. I think the xfm, bass and beats and the lofi sampler are easily the best in their price and class. This sampler is incredibly powerful! With this and the xfm you can write entire albums or make improvised semi generated random noise, you can sequence external gear and cc lock.. if you even list the featuews and then look at rhe cost. It's incredible. Some people find the learning curve hard it's really not. You needed the manual and after a couple hours going through it and playing with what it describes you get the hang very fast because it does make a lot of sense unlike a lot of other stuff. Now I have only spent a couple days with the Livens I have , I can easily pick one up and make something interesting very fast, it's the most immediate and fun music making hardware I have experienced similar to the modal skulpt and novation tracks ..
