Sonicware LoFi-12XT the resurgence of 12bit samplers?

[@ILLUDIUM_Q_36]

I love mine! Just make sure you have the latest Firmware Update and you're good to go! 😎

[@lukebrennan7766]

Love it! ⚡️

[@AThousandDetails]

:D

[@ILLUDIUM_Q_36]

8:15 don't forget to rescan your drive so that the LoFi-12XT can add them to the database. 👍🏾

[@AThousandDetails]

Yes! Great tip when you do changes! I did run it after changing stuff or adding eheh! Should've said it

[@Farold_Haltermeyer]

Best velocity pads out there, love 'em. And being able to turn off the 12bit effect is awesome. Sold my Digitakts and my Octatrack is gathering dust. Love this thing and their firmware updates are superb

[@Myexpectationsarerealistic]

Better than MPC?

[@Farold_Haltermeyer]

​@@Myexpectationsarerealisticdepends what you do, how you do it and what you need. For me I've never enjoyed working on an MPC despite having used many over the years. So I'm not sure what "better" looks like, but for me I found this thing appealing, fluid and inspiring and those were things missing from my experiences elsewhere

[@Myexpectationsarerealistic]

@@Farold_Haltermeyer You're spoiled. Twenty years ago, you couldn't beat an MPC for tactility. Now you people think this crap is difficult, and you're the problem most of the time.

[@Farold_Haltermeyer]

@@Myexpectationsarerealistic wind your neck in buttercup, been using them since the late 90's. You should get out more sweetcheeks, your gammon roots are showing

[@Myexpectationsarerealistic]

@@Farold_Haltermeyer I had an ASR X Pro. Preordered it. I had only hammered on those pads once. Everything else was through MIDI.

[@earthhuman5448]

I'm in love with mine. Using it almost everyday. I hope they add a way to mute midi being sent from the tracks to external gear, and a way to record the external input to the mixtape recording. Im so happy I've finally found a new school sampler I connect with. As a person who has spent years with a MPC60 and MPC1000, the new ones are not for me.

[@AThousandDetails]

Yeah, I really understand what you're saying. New AKAIs for me is an android device with a daw inside. I am using gear cause I don't want to use a computer... I myself am a Digitakt guy, but it's simple as well and very nice to use. Dr Yuendo is a guy always working on improving his stuff, for sure send your ideas :P

[@EverettDudgeon138]

I’m happy to see hardware samplers are popular again. Out of the new batch of smaller samplers, I think the 1010Music Tangerine is certainly the best in regards to its versatility but I really love the on-board samples of the Sonicware Lo Fi 12 XT. I know it’s a bit ridiculous to be interested in the factory sounds of a sampler but there’s so many iconic sounds from classic samplers (Fairlight, Emulator, Prophet 2000, Mirage etc) where you know exactly what instrument and library those sounds were from. The Sonicware samples in the Lo Fi 12, although simple bread and butter categories have their own distinctive flavour to them. The strings, choir, guitar, etc have their own voice and it’s kind of a shame that these new samplers are being catered towards beatmakers. Nothing wrong with beatmaking but I’d just like to hear a bit more variety in the demos and factory sounds.

[@AThousandDetails]

I agree! Good choice of factory stuff in the LoFI-12XT! I have to try 1010 Tangerine! It's one that I am quite curious, I like the small form factor of tangerine, fireball and such! Maybe one day I'll be able to grab one of thise eheh! Thanks for watching!

[@CaptainKazi]

I wish the screen was that big!

[@AThousandDetails]

Ahaha i feel it wouldn't be the same thing :P

[@MrVoonix]

Sounds amazing! Would you release tracks using the 12bit mode or is it missing to much resolution/highs?

[@AThousandDetails]

I would totally :D i have tracks thare were really crushed by bit reducers ahah

[@saisiga70]

What is the difference between sample trek and the lo-fi 12 cut, minus the lo-fi and track count?

[@AThousandDetails]

I never owned the Sample Trek, but I think the differences are the lofi options, track count, and I think few firmware improvements.

[@vvlvmusic]

Great video! Loving the LoFi-12 a lot, been using it a lot. But I have a question regarding your power bank. It's the MyVolt one, right? How long can you run the Lofi with it? Approximately.

[@AThousandDetails]

Hi! Thanks for the video! Yes it is :) Well I had to return the LoFi to my friends at Microfusa, but overall testing it and filiming I was on about 9 hours with it and the powerbank had 3 dots... So I guess a lot :D ? ahah sorry I can't be super specific, but it has a lot of millage! Thanks for watching!

[@mnm0n1c]

Hi there, nice overview I got one question. I saw that you can recieve audio over USB for sampling etc. My question is can you send audio over USB, for instance to see it as external instrument in Ableton or other DAW but over USB? Thanks and Peace ✌

[@ally-is]

Yes, but only two channels.

[@mnm0n1c]

@@ally-is That's what I meant, thanks for info ...

[@AThousandDetails]

Thanks for pitching in @ally-is ! That’s it you only get the stereo 2 channel!

[@IbnSalimAbdullah]

If you don't mind, which ripcord is that? And is the external battery dialed in to a specific voltage or does it regulate itself, plug and play style?

[@AThousandDetails]

Hi! The battery is from myvolts, it self regulated, plug n play let’s go. You just need the correct Voltage plug onto the usb-c cable. The cables are their most recent ones with s Wattage indicator and silky touch! Thanks for watching!

[@IbnSalimAbdullah]

@AThousandDetails Great, thanks for the response. I recently received the lofi 12-xt and saw this setup of yours with the mentioning of 6-7 hrs of play; wanting the same setup (I'm new to analog gear). Is it the 12 volt ripcord? I want to get the battery and cord asap

[@DurtyCardiologist]

​@@AThousandDetailsyou can use a USB cable with a PD chip which will also negotiate the correct voltage.....great time to be alive! Great video BTW, love my LOFI-12 XT!

[@AThousandDetails]

I've used a cable with PD and the 12V one :) just like @DurtyCardiologist said, since ripchords have PD it will set the correct voltage to you!

[@EverettVinzant]

Something you might want to consider. Using your mic to pick up audio from the speaker… That doesn’t REALLY tell us anything about the sound it creates. On top of that KZbin messes with the audio too… Maybe in the future run the headphone output on the device and your mic to a mixer so that we can get a better idea of what the audio sounds like?

[@AThousandDetails]

Hi. Why would I want my mic to pick up audio from the speaker? I think you're missing some kind of point here or not understanding how things are? Any instrument I take goes line in directly as it's obvious and the mic is on another track, for mixing purposes later on. This is a 12Bit Sampler, and on purpose I only used it as a 12 Bit Sampler, which makes things way more dirty and interesting in my opinion. You're hearing direct LINE IN SOUND with no added treatment or whatever so you can really hear what it sounds like, instead of drenched in reverb videos to make it sound "beautiful". You'll hear the exact same thing monitoring directly from a piece of gear or if you connect it to a mixer or interface, and don't do any treatment. The only thing I'd like to change in the future is getting a way better mic instead of using my wireless go II with a Lavalier mic. Other than that, I'm sorry but I don't even understand your argument. Thanks for your feedback anyway.

[@EverettVinzant]

@@AThousandDetails I own this device so I'm well aware of how it works. The problem is I thought you were using Line In for something, I misjudged where the plugs were. It was an honest mistake. I was trying to help you. But thank you for the wall of text. I understand you're one of those perfect people that never mistakes, needs to berate someone trying to assist, and in the end chases off viewers. I won't make the mistake of returning. Thanks for your passive aggressiveness anyway...

[@AThousandDetails]

Well I wasn't passive aggressive with you at all, I legit asked why would it be a good idea / what is the benefit of mic up a speaker, and also asked you if you didn't missed something out or didn't understood anything. And since I thought you were confused I explained my process, so you could understand what I was doing... Now if you took it as aggression, i'm sorry buddy, but that wasn't it, I even thanked you for the feedback, which shows you seen the video and put time in, which I appreciate. Cheers

That powerbank can run my Korg MS-20 Mini, 5 vilcas withna splitter at once amd.also my Lofi 12 XT and Lofi - 6. I have a mighty need

Is there song mode?

[@AThousandDetails]

Yes there is! I just didn’t explored it as i am incapable of using any song mode ahah! But it’s there and easy to use!

@@AThousandDetails awesome! I’ll check the manual. I guess you need to chain patterns.

I like them, but I have Renoise. 😂 Hard to justify buying anything that isn’t Limited Edition when competing with Renoise. I love their work though.👍🏻

True :p I agree with you, renoise is insane. I still have to find time to learn it a bit, but for sure I agree with you! Thanks for watching
