Probability on the Sonicware Lofi12XT
Hi there, thanks for watching! In this video I go over how to use the probability (dice) settings on the Sonicware Lofi12XT. This feature lets you adjust the percent chance that a note will play on for each track. You can also combine this with parameter locks to get some interesting sequences, which I cover in the “use cases” portion of the video. Enjoy!
00:00 Intro and basic controls
02:41 Use case 1 - drum breaks
05:57 Use case 2 - melodic sample chops
08:12 Use case 3 - note variations
09:46 Use case 4 - single note layers

Advanced Synthesis with Midi on the Sonicware Lofi12XT
มุมมอง 458วันที่ผ่านมา
Hi there, thanks for watching! In this video I go over a sound design technique when using the Sonicware Lofi 12XT as a wavetable synthesizer. By having multiple tracks receive midi notes on the same channel from an external controller, you can set up a multi-voice synth patch and control parameters for each voice independently. Recording sequences is a little janky, but overall it’s an interes...

How to Slice Samples on the Dirtywave M8
มุมมอง 52121 วันที่ผ่านมา
Hi there, thanks for watching! This video covers some basics of slicing samples of the Dirtywave M8. It’s actually quite challenging to slice samples on this device, mostly because of the fixed zoom levels on the sample edit page when adjusting start points. But I share some techniques that help me work through those challenges. Hope they help you too! 00:00 Intro 00:18 Slicing a rhythmic sampl...

How to Sync the Sonicware Lofi12XT and Teenage Engineering Pocket Operator
มุมมอง 162หลายเดือนก่อน
Hi there, thanks for watching! In this video I show how to sync a Teenage Engineering Pocket Operator with the Sonicware Lofi12XT. I recommend having the PO send a sync signal to the Lofi12XT because the Lofi12XT will constantly output its sync signal, instead of only outputting it when you press play. I think these devices are fun to use together. I like doing quick sample chops on the PO33, t...

was the upgrade to the m8 mk2 worth it to you? jw. I have mk1 and I'm happy with it, except for the battery life. but that''s replaceable. Just wondering if in your experience it makes a huge difference?
@@lnknmusic i like the model 2 a lot! It's built super solid. But it works the same as the model 1 so I don't think it's a huge difference
1:52:52 👌
Appreciate ya watching the vod!!
why no keycaps? :D
i get that a question a lot! here's why: th-cam.com/video/fzA4SG5BdeM/w-d-xo.html
Hello Jay, All your Lofi xt videos have been SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO usefull. I thank you a lot for that. I have another question : in the manual p126 I read that : Lofi-12 XT can not only use USB and external input audio for sampling, but also use them as tracks. What would you say “use them as tracks” means ? Does it mean that I can set a track as "Ext in" and not a sample ? And then treat it as a track ? If so, I failed to do so ... any idea ? 🙂
thanks! thats a good question - i made a short clip answering that: th-cam.com/video/OG9rpJysOlU/w-d-xo.html
Awesome find on the microtiming in the table! I just tried it out as well. You can also move the hop to the first row (and fill the gap with the TIC command), and then in the FX2 you can add the RNL (I left the first digit at 0 and then the second digit to the maximum row you want it to jump to). Then it will add a random microtime without having to specify the THO in the Phrase. I was also trying out your other technique I saw in one of your other videos where you change the start time of the slices, I like that one as well. I have some multisampled drumkits, and then I change the start time for each slice and in the table I add a RNL, then it randomly plays a sample where each sample has a slightly different sound and microtime. I was also trying to find a way to combine both the random slice and microtiming in the table but I haven't found a way yet so for now if I combine those I'll just put one in the phrase and the other in the table. In any case, for some instruments it is nice to have more free columns in the table to do some ducking.
@@jamkatsukisan7815 wow that's awesome! I'll try out that RNL configuration, sounds fun!!
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥☝🏽 fire as fook B!
Thanks!
Quick question, it seems I'm having problems when I import my samples into the convert folder, they don't show up or sound. But then if they do show up, you have to update the file data every time you turn on the unit for the samples to show up. Have u had this problem? If so had did u fix it? Any suggestions
when i use the convert function from the project menu, the files usually end up at the bottom of the sample list. and they stay there between power cycles and when i load different projects. no issues hearing them either. are you using the convert function, or are you copying samples directly into the pool/project folders?
@Jay_Maculate I'm using the convert function. Sometimes they will download then Sometimes you go to the pool, and you can't even see the default samples until I have to update the file data. I see in other blogs that some people are having the same problem. So I didn't know if it was a bug. Wanted to see if u was having this problem as well.
@pdelonn i see. Yeah I don't get issues like that but I generally record samples instead of using file transfers. You may have more luck using this method that SPvidz made a video about th-cam.com/video/xnRsemJ3r6I/w-d-xo.html
Great beats. Your tutorials about Lofi 12XT are very helpful. Thank you
@@artysta.daltonista thanks, I appreciate you saying that!!
I notice your melodic samples often have a certain sound to them. Do you process your found samples with effects beforehand when you slice them up for your youtube tutorials? (pitch wobble, chorus, glitchy stuff?)
@mwfizz yep! I generally use the sp404 mk2 to add effects like vinyl/tape simulator and filter + drive before saving them to the lofi12xt
@@Jay_MaculateNice, I like the slicing and effect processing beter with the SP and the 8 track style with individual settings better with the Lofi so I have the SP go into the Lofi and that setup works great 😊
Loving these videos bro! Thanks for dropping these. That Shenmue thumbnail tho :P Awesome work as always
thanks! i usually use anime for the thumbnails but couldn't think of any good anime gambling scenes lol. lots of janky mini games involving dice in Shenmue tho haha
Quick question where do you get your vocal samples from?
Most of the samples i use on this channel i create with AI. for example here is the song i used for this track: www.udio.com/songs/oZKAR4jvXUwR4DsCxmY17L
@ wow so cool!
Damn! That was an awesome walkthrough and a dope azz beat!!
Thanks!

@@moisesolivares3002 nice, welcome to team m8!!
Jay the lofi has note repeat , hold the d pad in a direction and hold ur sound pad in this case the hi hat to get the effect you want, it has 3 different timings

Lofi 12 xt vs. M8, you can only have 1, which do you choose?
@@steelcitysi gotta pick the lofi12xt! It's way more fun to jam on. Although the m8 has such great portability - wish I could fit the lofi in my pocket lol
Did you know that if you want to add a slice afterwards, you can also hit the first empty slice button instead of pressing the A knob? Personaly like it better than pressing the tiny A knob 😊
@@mwfizz i didn't know that, great tip!
"A huge thank you for your super informative videos that really showcase the capabilities of our favorite LoFi 12XT. I'm a big fan from Italy and I'm always eager to watch your content. Please keep up the great work with your Sonicware tutorials. Thanks again for sharing your knowledge!"
@@CKTDSTUDIO i appreciate that!! I've been having a lot of fun with this box, happy to share the knowledge!
I am planning the opposite -- using xt12 to sequence midi for external polyphonic synth, because xt12 is capable of creating polyphonic midi tracks.
@@Jux925 awesome! Lots of ways to use this little box!
You have any thoughts on the Cydrum from Sonicware?
@@Cactuspractice12 it looks cool! But I mostly work with samples, so I don't think it has much to offer me. I'm hopeful sonicware can take some features from it and add them to the lofi12xt in firmware updates. We'll see!
great video thanks! :)💯🤘
@@blancikblancik5887 thanks for watching!
I've had that popping sound since I bought the SP case for the PO33. It's a great case but leaves a loud click at the end if recordings. Great videos on your channel, helped me a lot with getting to know the Lofi-12xt!
wow never would have guessed it was the case, thanks for the heads up on that! and glad the videos have been helpful, the lofi 12XT has been a lot of fun to work with!
These videos on the XT 12 are pure gold! Love them!
thanks, i appreciate you saying that!
yup that guy makes the best Lofi12XT videos on youtube
Resample, saves the poly count..love your videos keep em coming
great point! plus with resample, you can skip my janky sequencing method lol. thanks for sharing that tip!
Thanks for all the vids they answered so many questions ive had on the 12xt
Btw you can use the ep133s sequencer and record the midi right on the ep133
@@Dan-d5n7j very true!
Just what i was looking for
heck yeah, happy synthesizing!
Do you have a streaming schedule Jay? Would love to see you play around with drum breaks and the pitch to tempo function
I don't have a schedule yet! still figuring this stuff out and trying to stream about twice per week. Once I get something more solid sketched out ill let everyone know! and definitely interested in experimenting with the pitch to tempo function!
Cool
@@jospehbloseph7172 thanks!
I didn't know you can adjust the release per step. That would help me lots. On the PO33 it was simply the length of the sample I was adjusting. But very accessible
@@gutsberserker5476 yep, just another parameter lock target! Great for high hats or other sounds you want to open and close at different points!
@@Jay_Maculate is it possible to apply fx per step?

Nice, been using my m1 alot lately, and i love it. Ordered the m2 last week. Really hope we will get a micro timing "nudge" command in a future update🤞🏼
@@95anders95 microtiming would be nice! Many times the DEL fx command just doesn't cut it... #NotEnoughTicks lol
@@Jay_Maculate I came across a post on the Elektronauts forum while searching for this recently. On the groove page you can increase the overall number of ticks per step, you can then adjust the tempo of the song to end up at the same effective BPM. For example the default is 6 ticks per step, if you change this to 12 ticks per step and double your tempo you will have the same BPM but it will give you a bit more resolution for the DEL FX. The max BPM is 999, so you can increase the number of ticks quite a bit. Thank you for the video btw, I really liked it! Really enjoying your content!
Oh wow! I've always been wary of doubling the BPM for more resolution because the playhead would fly through the pattern super quick. But I never thought to double the ticks in the groove page to slow it back down for "normal" looking playback. That's an awesome tip, thanks for sharing!
wow, now I am able to understand slices in m8❤ Thank you soo much.

Hey Jay, hope you are good. I know you are fan of the PO-33 and Sonic lofi XT. These are devices I own and love. How would you say the M8 is a music making device? Its extremely portable and rechargeable battery which seems a selling factor to me.
@@gutsberserker5476 hey guts! I like using the m8 but it's def not for everyone. The workflow is heavy on the step sequencer, and getting precise microtiming is not easy. Sort of like the PO33. If you prefer to sequence by playing parts live (sample chops, drums, bass etc.) then you might have a hard time with the m8. But the portability is amazing
@Jay_Maculate thanks for that jay. A very comprehensive reply. Appreciate that bro.
Is it possible to set the patterns up so they will play in sequence without having to manually change them? Can you record in real time across multiple patterns?
@@fredicagoillanoise1309 yep, you can chain patterns to play one after the other using song mode. But you cannot enable the record mode when playing back the chained patterns. It brings up a little message that says "now song playing" when I press record in that scenario
Is it possible to just copy a basic drum pattern several times and chain them together then just record all sample chop arrangements, bassline and extras on top of the entire thing?
@@fredicagoillanoise1309 yeah totally! To copy the sequenced steps you just have hold the function button down while turning the knob that controls length of the pattern on the CFG page. Then you can add your other parts on other tracks
That shit was hard! 🎉

@@LordQiuu heck yeah, thanks for watching!
@Jay_Maculate btw, what's the difference between overwrite and save options in sample editor?
@@LordQiuu good question! "save" will give you the option of saving the file in a new folder. Think of it like "save as" on a computer - good for making copies. Overwrite skips the prompt for where to save the file and just saves it where it is currently
