I’ve been using the Beta (I’m on the Beta team) and I just love your Force videos. I’ve been bummed you’ve stopped making them. Please keep it up! Please make more Force videos! Please don’t stop. I was actually about to un-sub because I thought you were done with it but so glad you’re back in the game. It’s gotten pretty dope. Looking forward to watching more of your vids! Cheers brother!!!

It’s like best of push 2 and Maschine + and MPC one all one. There are hardly any videos on force and most are before the awesome updates in last year. Thank you for great videos.

Lol Would love to see more in depth on creating arrangement and how to assign and apply FX to the recorded arrangement. Been struggling figuring that one out. :( Also, a full start to finish track would be dope! And if it’s tech house/techno that would be even cooler! Lol Thanks man!! Keep it up!!

hadn't looked att the akai force until a few days ago, tried a live setup with only the MC-707 but it was too clunky. after about an hour of looking at the akai i ordered it, it seems like a beast, and the drum synth kind of pushed me over the edge. hope the engines are as useable to me as they sound!

Mathew I have long been a big critic of the built in drum kits and how their kicks and claps and hats sound but now I have options for replacing them with the drum synth. My songs are now sounding better like I imagine them to manifest.

Hope you see this. I have a request for a video. I have recently learned to use the autosampler on the Force. I have an old Command Station. It has kits that include drum sounds and synth sounds in the same patch. I run the autosampler and it successfully brings everything over. At this point I can play all the sounds as if they were still on the Command Station. If I save it at this point everything goes into a project file. I need to know how to save it so each sample is saved as a clip so I can see the samples in the browser instead of having to load the project. It would also be nice to make a kit from the samples the way the kits are set up on the force. So it can be called from other projects. I have a very large SATA drive installed so storage is not an issue. Thanks for your great videos.
@skyechapman6595 3 жыл бұрын
I just got mine and I’m loving it so far. Is there a way to disable recording to clip every time you launch a pattern? I’ve accidentally recorded muting motions while jamming on ideas and had to go through and edit it back to normal.

Hello Good Day Sir, I am Thomas Kurumasseri from India, South Indian,Kerala. I am a Musician. I have few queries regarding Akai Force. The issue is in the clip. Can we put Time Signature in clip? so that the programming gets easier. Changing bars at a time with different time is difficult right now. If Time Signature is implemented in clip we can change tempo and tune bars as desired. Example: if it's in 4/4 or 3/4 beat and have to go to 6/8 or 7/8 in same clip... if time Signature is implemented it's easy to move and place it on track easily, which is helpfull for drum either keyboard. Please suggest a solution for this We need a complete MPC Sequence set. MPC software sequence is the best. Right now instead of (TC)Time correct please implement (TS)Time Signature. Please do help Thankyou

@@MatthewStratton I am a Data Systems Engineer. The Force has the ability to connect to Wifi so it really would be as simple as connecting the Force to any Wifi and clicking the update option. The code to program the update button could be written into the OS that goes to the location on the web that would keep the most recent file. Basically automating the manual steps that a person using a browser is doing. The code to do it would not be very large nor complicated.
