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.

11 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 11 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.
