Sonicware Lofi-12 XT Limited Retro Edition

Sonicware Lofi-12 XT Limited Retro Edition is a compact 8-track lo-fi sampler and groovebox designed for nostalgic sound design and beat-making. Housed in a limited retro beige chassis, it features 15 velocity-sensitive RGB pads, an OLED display, built-in mic and speaker, and comprehensive audio I/O. With 12/24 kHz mono sampling, a crunchy 12-bit mode, and over 2,500 preloaded drum samples on a 32 GB SD card, it captures the warm, gritty character of vintage samplers while offering modern sequencing and performance tools.

Each of the 8 tracks supports up to 256 samples per project across 256 total projects, enabling full track arrangements with drums, breaks, basslines, synths, and custom recordings. The engine delivers 20-voice polyphony and supports chromatic playback for melodic composition. Real-time sound manipulation is enhanced by 26 effect types (up to 11 simultaneously), dual LFOs, amplitude and filter envelopes (ASR/AR), and powerful parameter locking for live performance.

Equipped with stereo line outputs, headphone out, stereo line inputs, MIDI In/Out, and Sync In/Out, the Lofi-12 XT integrates seamlessly into any setup. Sampling can be done via the internal mic, line inputs, or imported via USB or SD card—with up to 40 seconds of recording per sample and real-time slicing capabilities. The intuitive step sequencer supports 128 patterns, 16 songs, and 256 projects, with step lengths from 1/1 to 1/64 and features like Note Repeat and microtiming for dynamic grooves.
