When companies design instruments around them, lofi beats have taken over. The Liven lofi-12 is a groovesbox that produces subdued tracks. Any sound that "genuine" lofi vibe can be heard in the machine's 12-bit sampler mode. The company claims that it's not possible to recreate the effect with a small amount of equipment. You'll find a "laid-back" knob to introduce a delay, as well as 11 track and eight master effects that can introduce cassette or vinyl simulations, as well as common modifications like distortion and high/low pass filters. The pattern preset help you start. There are options to lock parameters and sound changes. Midi and 3.5mm ports are available for both input and output. The groovesbox can be used with an AC or AA battery. There is a Liven lofi-12 for $239. If you're more interested in a general-purpose beatmaker, then Sonicware's SmplTrek is a good choice. This is more feature-laden than rivals like the Korg Volca Sample 2 and may be just what you're looking for if you're hoping to create tunes for one of thetrendiest genres on the internet.
