Transporting you back to the ’50s and ’60s golden era, this limited-edition masterpiece captures the warmth and nostalgia of old-time radio and TV shows. With its innovative features and harmonious fusion of old and new, the Liven Lofi-6 is your gateway to crafting pleasing vintage sounds that resonate with timeless charm.

Reviving Vintage Sounds with Unparalleled Sampling

The Liven Lofi-6 showcases a unique 6kHz – 16bit sampling engine, reminiscent of the iconic television broadcasts of yesteryears. It’s a rare gem that offers up to 8 seconds of mono sampling per sample slot, complete with start and end point trimming, pitch adjustment, reverse playback, sustain loop, filtering, and LFO modulation capabilities. This sonic time machine ingeniously captures the essence of the past, allowing you to infuse your creations with the irresistible allure of a bygone era.

TUBE Mode: Embrace the Warmth of Vacuum Tubes

Venturing further into the realm of vintage audio, the Liven Lofi-6 introduces the groundbreaking TUBE mode. This ingenious feature flawlessly reproduces the rich bass and crisp tones of a vacuum tube amplifier through harmonic distortion. The result? A symphony of harmonics that harmoniously blend modern precision with classic warmth. This mode is a nod to the past, honoring the harmonic distortion that was once a hallmark of analog equipment, and it’s all ingeniously packed into the digital realm.

Craft Your Sonic Odyssey

The Liven Lofi-6 encapsulates versatility with its comprehensive feature set. It boasts a powerful 4-track sequencer, drawing from the acclaimed Liven XFM legacy, enabling you to weave intricate musical narratives with ease. Dive into the world of parameter and sound locking, where you can meticulously fine-tune each element for dynamic compositions. With the laid-back feature, tweak snare drum timings for a relaxed groove or explore the art of finger drumming by auto-slicing samples. With 80 meticulously chosen lo-fi preset sounds, inspiration is at your fingertips.

A Universe of Effects Awaits

The Liven Lofi-6 elevates your sonic tapestry with an array of effects. Each track boasts twelve effect types, including chorus, flanger, tremolo, delay, distortion, and more. Elevate your compositions with master effects such as reverb, cassette tape simulation, vinyl simulation, and the captivating Remix performance effect. The Liven Lofi-6 isn’t just a groovebox; it’s a sonic playground where your creativity knows no bounds.

Unleash Your Creativity

Amidst this retro revival, the Liven Lofi-6 retains the essence of its predecessor, the Liven Lofi-12. While sharing many features, the Lofi-6 differentiates itself with its unique 6kHz sampling frequency and omission of the 12bit sampler mode. The result is a harmonious blend of vintage allure and modern capability, setting the stage for your musical exploration.
