Sonicware - LIVEN Lofi-12

Sonicware LIVEN LoFi-12 with v2.1 or later upgrade builds on the strengths of the first version to deliver an even more powerful and flexible lo-fi music production experience. Here are the key benefits of v2:

Authentic lo-fi samples:
- 16-bit sampling engine - 12 kHz/24 kHz with 12-bit mode: Capture any sound and instantly transform it into an authentic lo-fi sound, unlike modern "bit crusher" effects.
- Up to 4 seconds of mono sampling per slot (2 seconds in 24 kHz mode).
- Edit start and end points, adjust pitch, reverse playback, sustain loop, filtering and LFO modulation available.

Easily play samples on the keyboard:
- Sampled sounds are automatically assigned to the keyboard, allowing easy playback at different pitches.
- Easily recreate the lo-fi sound of the 90s by importing 33 RPM vinyl records into 45 RPM records and then slowing them down.
- 88 carefully selected pre-recorded lo-fi sounds included.

A powerful and flexible sequencer:
- 4-track step sequencer inherited from the LIVEN XFM.
- Easily create 4-part songs by assigning a sampled sound to each track.
- The "Sound Lock" function allows you to change the sound for each phrase or step of the sequencer, offering an almost infinite combination of sounds within the same song.
- Record sequences up to 64 steps and save 64 patterns.
- Subdivision of the tempo down to eighth note triplets.
- Programming of notes step by step or in real time.
- "Parameter Lock" function to record and automate parameter variations on your patterns.

Create lo-fi, off-kilter beats:
- The "Laid-back" button allows you to delay the start of the selected sampled sound.
- Slightly offset the snare of your drum pattern or use the "Parameter Lock" function to change the timing of the sound individually for each step.

Versatile and powerful effects:
- 12 independent effect types per track, inspired by the LIVEN series.
- Automation of effect parameters per step thanks to the "Parameter Lock" function.
- Master effects including 6 high-quality Reverb types, a cassette simulator, a vinyl simulator and a "Remix" performance effect.
- Adjust the send level for each track for optimal mixing.

New features in v2:
- Resampling: Record the audio output of a pattern or track internally to create a new sample. You can also resample your keyboard playing in real time.
- Slicing: Two new voice modes called "Drum" and "Chop" make it easy to automatically slice samples with the Downbeat Divider*. The sliced ​​sections of a sample are then spread across the keyboard, allowing for finger drumming-style performance.
- Remix Effect: A new beat repeater effect called "R.MIX" has been added to the Master Effects options. It enables real-time performances with glitch-like effects.

These new features are designed to work together, allowing you to easily create drum tracks with automatic slicing and record dynamic performances without being limited by the internal sequencer grid. You can also resample samples and tracks for endless effects processing.
