Sonicware Lofi-12 XT

The Lofi-12 XT from Sonicware is an eight-track lo-fi sampler and groovebox that empowers ultra-portable beat-making with the crisp and timeless sound of early digital audio. Expanding on Sonicware's most popular device from their affordable series of Liven grooveboxes, the Lofi-12 XT is a supercharged update taking advantage of the increased processing power, storage, and connectivity of Sonicware's SmplTrek hardware platform. Compose entire tracks with smashing drums, sliced breaks, warm synths, deep bass, and your own samples - all in a form factor that's ready to rock whenever and wherever inspiration strikes.

At the heart of Lofi-12 XT is its true 12kHz/24kHz sampling engine and 12-bit sampler mode, giving all the audio you sample the sizzlingly nostalgic sound of early samplers. Beyond this powerful coloration tool, Lofi-12 XT lets you play samples chromatically or as chopped slices, effortlessly creating melodies, chords, and beats mangled to your taste. With 256 samples available in each of up to 256 projects, Lofi-12 XT can quickly become your portable workstation for creating new ideas, or even producing full tracks using its performative song mode and on-board mixtape recording.

Each of your 8 tracks features insert, send, and master effects, 2 LFOs, amplitude and modulation envelopes, and more for creating interesting movement and character across the 128-step sequencer. With realtime sample manipulation and parameter locking, you can perform and edit sounds live, letting you take full control of its powerful engine to create effective and memorable performances. While the Loft-12 XT punches well above its weight on its own, flexible connectivity makes it easy to integrate other MIDI devices, external instruments and effects, and more. Whether you're just starting to explore electronic music hardware or have a gear pile the size of a small country, Sonicware's Lofi-12 XT is sure to become your new favorite jamming partner.
