Only to US residents to win... from a UK youtuber. He even says they ship world wide but I guess contests are only for US citizens. Interesting.

The last time I won something from Perfect Circuit it was the chance to pay more than $100 to ship a piece of out of production DJ gear that they were giving me for free. The gear was worth less than shipping, and had nothing to do with what I entered for.

Probably because they don't want to pay import/export duty taxes for all the items and have opted to keep it local to US where they likely have free shipping avalable as a merchant

6kHz is crazy! My first SoundBlaster card only went down to 8kHz. While I'm not really a "lofi guy," I have to admit the LoFi-6 has a pretty neat vibe, and when you mixed it under the full-quality track, the sound was fantastic. What a great feel that has!

What i like about this synth... the right price. Sonicware create simple little things and ask for basically change (if we compare it to Moog or Blofiled ranges). That's very respectable nowadays. Actually i like most of Sonicware products. They sound better than the price must suggest.

Very cool, had no idea they were making this especially since the LoFi 12 isn't very old. Despite it only sampling at 6kHz it's funny they still included the bit crusher on there. So, it's like a modern Casio SK-1, yes? Since there isn't an SD card slot is there a sample export manager similar to the Volca Sample.

If Sonicware are in the mood to reissue modified/cutdown editions of their Livens, I have a request. Please bring out a Liven Bass (a Bass & Beats but without the rubbish PCM drums)? I would much rather have a Liven B with two wavetable voices than that corny drum machine.

Sample rate is 48 kHz, for Mark 2 and 44.1 for the 404a/sx This item limits its rate to 6khz You can bitcrush but you still have that base sample rate
@StarskyCarr

Bit rushing is different to reducing the sample rate. Reducing the bit rate increases noise and reduces the accuracy of the sample. Reducing the sample rate does the stuff you saw in this - aliasing and loss of higher frequencies.

I'm having a TERRIBLE EXPERIENCE with sonicware sales team, first couldn't order to my country, and they wouldn't reply to any of my emails. I had to order to my friend's address in Malaysia, where these units are actually produced. Upon receiving the package but hearing from the demos how bad and uninspiring lofi-6 sounds(notice how everyone who's demoing them washing them in lots of FX) I've decided to return it, unopened still, but they're making me send it to JAPAN although I've received it domestically. Obviously they're trying to make me change my mind....I can not recommend anyone to buy their products, it just not worth the trouble frankly, go with a company that actually cares for their customers...
