Common Lofi-12 XT Questions

How do I sync the Lofi-12 XT to an external MIDI device like a sequencer or DAW?
In the SYSTEM settings, set MIDI Clock Source to 'External' or 'Auto' to receive clock from your external device. Ensure your external device is sending MIDI clock and that the Lofi-12 XT's MIDI channel is set correctly (also in SYSTEM settings).
How do I save my custom drum kits, patterns, and songs on the Lofi-12 XT?
To save a kit, pattern, or song, press the SAVE button, select the desired save slot using the data encoder, and press the SAVE button again to confirm; kits are separate from patterns/songs and use different save locations.
What is the best way to get started making a simple drum beat on the Lofi-12 XT?
Select a drum kit using the KIT button and the data encoder, then enter pattern record mode by holding REC while pressing a step button (1-16) on the sequencer to place triggers; press PLAY to hear your beat.
My Lofi-12 XT is making a buzzing noise, or the sound is distorted. How can I fix this?
First, try reducing the input gain on the lo-fi sampler (if you are using it), as overdriving the input can cause distortion; also check your power supply and ensure it meets the Lofi-12 XT's specifications (9V DC, center positive).
How does the 'Resample' function (one of the key features) work, and what can I do with it?
The Resample function allows you to record the output of the Lofi-12 XT back into itself, creating unique textures and layering effects; simply select the 'Resample' input source and record into a new sample slot to capture the current output.
