Thank you man! Excited to see any content you make with it. The learning curve isn't really that bad unless you just fumble about pressing things randomly like I typically do lol, check out my 2 tutorial videos and @ChrisLody 's and you'll be on your way.
This is best review I could find on YT so far of the Lofi-12! Thank you so much for taking your time for this. This is my first Liven and I am enjoying it so much already. Boy how I wish I had these kinds of "Toys" back in the days... You helped me create my first two Beats on it with the included Stock sounds. My next Beat will have some Samples of my own in it. :) Happy Holidays!
I wasn't even looking for a tutorial, but thanks for taking the time to do this! You explained things in a such a logical and enjoyable way. I'll have mine soon and you just saved me from a bunch of time staring at it 🙏💯
Just got mine. This is the video I am using to figure it out step by step. Great job! Most of the other videos covering this device move to quickly without much explanation of what they are doing.
This tutorial kicks so much a** bro! Extremely detailed and easy to understand. I’d love to hear you bang out a boom-bap beat. I heard one today on Instagram by a dude using the new Lofi 6 and it was nasty. It had that thick and gritty SP-1200 sound. Thanks again bro, have a good weekend.
The depth to the right of the cutoff refers to the envelope generator (EG) amount for the cutoff, not the LFO. So you can have the filter sweep up or down (this is why it goes from negative to positive) every time a note is triggered and also have it effected separately by the LFO.
@@BlezzBeats Just wanted to clarify! Really great series of videos, I think I will pick up one of these bad boys despite the quantization difficulties, can't wait for more!!!
This is a good place to start. Too many people download fruity loops and then learn how to make beats by a program doing everything for you. That's why you take those guys and throw them in a real situation with equipment and they can't do a f****** thing. So starting out the manual hard way is the best way. You learning this way which is way more of an old school way, it will force you to use your ear and creativity and you will exercise that muscle far greater than anyone staring at a computer screen could. Trust your ear be patient and keep at it.
great vid. very helpful. when you copied the pattern, how were you able to record the automation you did with the filter and cutoff? was it because you had parameter lock on? it's not necessary to have that particular track in record mode?
@@BlezzBeats ok thank you very much! I was able to save some patterns to the library, but the importing back is now my problem and the manual doesn't have much to say about it just a few lines. can you give some help here I would appreciate it very much!
nvm i just figured it out ! for anyone that needs help with what to do. select a pattern -> hold the clear button "CLR" and press the pattern button "PTN" -> hold the function button and save the pattern. you now have an empty ready to use pattern !
Yeah sure, you'd just sample it like with anything! I use LSDJ for the GameBoy stuff. If you wanted to go the extra mile in geekery there are ways to MIDI-sync it too.
So parameter lock lets you select samples per step in a track? I originally thought you would load a drum sample and set different trim points per step.
That's right. It can also be done the way you describe. You can record a break and then automate the Start time parameter to trigger different parts of the sample as the sequencer plays
Can it record live external audio as a short pattern for loops FYI I bought a modded gameboy and mGB and arduinoboy to add gameboy synth to things lol your video may have triggered that
Haha dope, will have to check MGN out. Yeah sure you could wouldn't say its the quickest at it but you can sample something, match the bpm and sequence it.
Yeah takes some getting used to for sure, I feel it's more like a keyboard sampler than anything. Take a sound sample it and loop it and get a nice gritty sound from it.

Shift+Func locks the shift key so you can turn the knobs easily
Good one! I shoulda looked it up lol, that'll save us from a lot of cramps
Just ordered mine, and it's my first Liven, so I'm a little nervous about the learning curve, but excited at the same time lol. Great video Blezz🙏🏾✊🏾💚

Thanks man I appreciate that! Have fun 🎄
Thanks for the video, just got one for Christmas. Blezzings to you and yours!
Happy new year!
Greatest video on this device I’ve seen yet! Good work!

After the new update, I kinda love this thing. Cheap but powerful...and fun.

Thanks! 🙏🏻 Check out my review of it I think there are a couple of boom bap beats in there

Yep! Went throught it a bit sloppy there and rambled about the section as a whole

@@thegregzone9862 Enjoy it!
Getting to know this bad boy. This is the most helpful vid I’ve seen for using the sequencer. As always, you’re the true groovebox sensei.
My goddamn man 👊🏻
@@BlezzBeatslove u man , but let's keep the blasphemy on the d
@@TommyNewton-jq9sf 😂
So far you explained it with the most detail 👍
Glad it was helpful!
This is my first time with any machine, any form of music production and I am so lost. This tutorial was a beacon of hope though!
Ouff yeah you jumped in on the deep end!
@@BlezzBeats I totally did but have found a flotation device, I got this!
😆

Thanks for the tutorial ! Me also waiting it. Cheers 🍻
Enjoy!
Excellent vid. Really helped me with my new machine. Sub’d.
Very good at explaining. I will watch more and would like to see more sampling using the sequencer .
KUH-NOBS KUH-NOWLEDGE
great vid. very helpful. when you copied the pattern, how were you able to record the automation you did with the filter and cutoff? was it because you had parameter lock on? it's not necessary to have that particular track in record mode?
Are there functions/options to save to external media… like an SD Card?
How do I export my patterns to my pc/mac so I can clear out the slots and upload them to?
You need to do it by MIDI Sysex, get MIDI-OX for PC or Midi Librarian for Mac, read up on how they work and read page 83 in the LoFi-12 manual.
@@BlezzBeats ok thank you very much! I was able to save some patterns to the library, but the importing back is now my problem and the manual doesn't have much to say about it just a few lines. can you give some help here I would appreciate it very much!
3:21 wait… k-now-ledge?
the LIVEn UI is bizarre
Have you ever seen Ringu?
hi! hoping that this can reach someone that'll help me but my lofi 12 came with all the patterns full. how do i delete patterns? i can't figure it out
nvm i just figured it out ! for anyone that needs help with what to do.
select a pattern -> hold the clear button "CLR" and press the pattern button "PTN" -> hold the function button and save the pattern. you now have an empty ready to use pattern !
Gotta know does that gameboy let you get sounds out of it to the synth and if so how
Yeah sure, you'd just sample it like with anything! I use LSDJ for the GameBoy stuff. If you wanted to go the extra mile in geekery there are ways to MIDI-sync it too.

Exactly, @ChrisLody has a video breaking that down perfectly it seems :D I'll link to it in the description.
@@BlezzBeats Thank you 😁
How do I clear a pattern?
Hold clear and press the pattern
Can it record live external audio as a short pattern for loops FYI I bought a modded gameboy and mGB and arduinoboy to add gameboy synth to things lol your video may have triggered that

@@BlezzBeats thank a for the reply sorry I typod it’s called mGB trash80 created it it’s for midi chiptune with a Game cartridge:D
@@VitaEx ahh dope! Was trying to find it lol
Does it support multi sampling?
With an extremely tedious workaround you could but it's not meant to handle it no
How do you get rid of the demo tracks that are on it
Just clear the patterns
I got mine 2 days ago it's really not user friendly, I just want to make sample based beats and it's not made like any other sampler I've ever used
Yeah takes some getting used to for sure, I feel it's more like a keyboard sampler than anything. Take a sound sample it and loop it and get a nice gritty sound from it.
nie beat blezz-i
Thanks bro!
