So far, this is the _ONLY_ competent, intensive instructional support-video for those absolutely new to Akai, and this unit’s workflow... literally the only decent video on the entire internet about starting from scratch. Even Akai has less than 20 videos for the Force, and they are all poorly realized, missing something major, anti-linear, etc. Thanks for a great job OP.

Thank you for this. I've been owning a Force for a while but not long after I initially got it I put it away to come back to it another time because I couldn't fix my brain to figuring out the Force at the time. I recently did some reorganizing, cleared a spot for my Force, hooked it up, found this video, and now I'm finally beginning to understand the Force. This is the Akai Force for Dummies Like Me tutorial that I needed. Salute to you Ave! ✌🏽

It's good, your good, just subbed and thunbs up... My suggestive criticism is you should play a good length sample of your finished product at around the very start of the video, and then at the end play the whole track, or prety much the whole track. I considered clicking away from your vid many time bacause I didn't know what the final composition was, and just got bogged with tech. details. In summation: Tech details good, songs good too. 😋
