That jam at the end was wonderful! That's probably more pure talent than the machine but still sounds good!

I appreciate that. Machines are only as good as the attention we give them but I do think the simple and quick workflow of this one is conducive to creativity. Either way, glad you liked it.

(I think) there are two sets of filters because one is linked to an envelope and LFO whereas the other is intended for use more as a mixing EQ. That's at least how I've heard them being used in videos such as this: kzbin.info/www/bejne/nKjWgJqVhbt6qq8&ab_channel=ChrisLody

That makes sense. Didn't think about it that way. I wish they would have put the tape and vinyl effects in the FX options rather than in the reverbs.

The cons I've encountered: 1) The stutter/randomize performance features are ineffectual with loops or samples longer than one shots. If I have, say, a drumloop lasting 16 steps then activate Stutter and then try to trigger any of the 16 steps, rather than playing at that sample's position, it will simply retrigger the sample at it's beginning. 2) Until Sonicware produce their answer to "Novation Components," getting samples in and out of this machine is laboriously analog. Hopefully some bright spark can create a web app to compile wav files into a single sysex file to send to the Lofi12. 3) If I parameter lock "laidback" (microtiming) on a specific step, I have to also manually parameter-rec the next step's "laidback" setting to zero (as opposed to the machine presuming that all step's have a LB setting of 0 unless sequenced otherwise). 4) I don't know why "enable internal looping" and "reverse sample" require dedicated knobs. Surely such features are better represented by buttons. 5) Nah, that's all the negatives I can think of. Thus far, Bass & Beats is the only Sonicware Liven that I haven't loved. I envision using this alongside my Volca Drum (freeing up sample slots for more musical and vocal elements).

Sounds like you're further along with it than I am. I haven't yet looked at the manual so I'm probably not aware of features that you are. 1) Haven't considered the stutter on a loop. It would be cool if there was a virtual "cursor" that could bounce around on the sample sort of like a granular sampler. 2) Seems a lot of folks wish for this but I generally prefer to direct sample everything and find digging through sample libraries to be extremely tedious. However, a clean and simple backup procedure would be great. 3) Haven't really messed with LB settings but that makes sense. 4) Agreed Thanks for the thoughtful comments!

Useful video thank you I guess one could get around the sampling time limitations by recording various sections of a song into different samples ?

Appreciate your reasoned insights, and cool jam at the end! Would you be willing to identify some of the sounds you used 12-bit sampling on, if any?

All of the sounds were recorded in 12k (rather than 24k) mode but only the drums have the "12 bit" effect enabled.

I actually picked it up no problem but it is basically the same workflow as the XFM and I did have a hard time getting my head around that at first. Sonicware just has their own way of doing things. The one I'm annoyed with right now is the Smpltrek. I'm finding it to be incredibly tedious.
