Yep, this has a vibe. I was on the beta for the first Sonic Liven 8bit warps and found it too lo fi (chip tune) and asked if it could do 12 bits and was told it wasn't in the cards for the 8bit Warp.. I guess there are a lot of people who love that chunky sound. I have a old Ensoniq EPS and this gets there sonically I am sold. Great video as usual Bo.

Dang it. Did not want to buy another sampler but I really like the sound of this. On paper this really doesn't have much power as compared to my Circuit Rhythm (closest modern comparison I can think of) but the sonics really catch my ear. It's also exactly what I hoped they would do next from the Liven series. Odd to release two samplers at the same time but Sonicware does things their own way.

I have identified a broken/incomplete feature of the Liven Lofi12. Stutter and Random only work with samples that are 1 step long. If you sequence a sample that's 16 steps long then try to use stutter, touching any steps will either mute the track or repeat the first step's worth of the sample. Ideally, using stutter on a long sample would move the playhead to the point in that sample corresponding with the pressed step. Same goes for the Random feature.

Thats how I started making music, on the homecomputer Amiga 500 in the late 80ies. 4 channel of 8bit samples with a total of 4 voices, and up to 512kB sample ram (usually around 300 or so availble). And its also cause of this Amiga I dont get impressed with 10 voices polyphony 32 years later.. and with a pricetag of the Amiga 500. If it had atleast 32 voices it would be an instant buy. The Amiga you could also sample and edit your waveforms visually. And one channel was usually drums.. one bass. one sampled chords and one for the lead.

Well people bought for a bigger amount of money a op1. They told us that it was the limitation from the op1 that worked inspiring. Nothing wrong to make music for only yourself. For my self making music means to express myself and I don’t care what other people think about it. My music is at first ment to be for myself. The simpel joy it gives to creat something is the reward of the mind. And that’s why I think the lofi 12 is a wonderful low-priced machine.

Good rule imo. After a bit more than a month I still think this is a fun device

Looks interesting. I've been curious about several of SonicWare's groovebox devices, but the user interface / workflow always seems a bit too complicated. Is this one simpler or Bo was this your magic of explaining things? Definitely has a nice sound to it for lo-fi chill beats. Also appreciate that it's got a built-in speaker.

To me this one felt easier than Bass & Beats. I think its because its a basic sampler. There just isnt alot you need to keep track of. You are working with limited sound design: filter, lfo, fx, and whatever sample you use.

That drum loop sample you're using at 5:25 fits perfectly to the to the sequencer BPM and measure length. Is there some time stretching going on?? Or is it because the sample is exactly the length and tempo to fit the measure, if you see what I mean..

there is no time stretching so you have to make sure you set bpm correctly

​@@BoBeatsthanks a lot for the answer! So does the new firmware update on the Circuit Rythm 2.0 can solve this? I m' not what new that time function really does?

How would I snag a sample from audio being played on my computer? I'd love to see a h/w device that has XLR, just one would be fine, and would double as an audio interface so you could use it for zoom calls and grab samples in real time while playing music on your PC outputted to the sampler over USB. Why the heck isn't anyone adding this feature?

I have the Elektron Model:Samples and it can do most of this stuff but it can't sample, which oddly makes it less fun because you have to bust out the computer to make samples on the fly and that breaks the flow. This is the last thing I need but it actually looks really fun for building out some DAW-less sections or intros.

So can you make your own drum kit ? I was told this was like a 4 track eps . What about a sample per key or a different sample per octave per track. Everybody demonstrating this just been using a drum loop and an instrument per track

Good review Bo, thought this was too basic and expensive but after your review it's actually quite powerful despite the limitations. Might be getting myself one
