Truly love your reviews on all The updates been on a nice thing for about almost 2 years feel like after working out a start up but let me post my last comment I’ve been posting on a lot of video so people can understand me, 🙏🏾💯You make me want to start doing videos, I actually know how to use it very well, A/B nice for blends, fortunate to work at a start up that specialize media and music, Literally got this instrument as a bonus so it was a great score as a producer thats into from scratch vibes , home is producing usually on logic or FL learning my workflows but once I found out about the force, I knew something would change theory about my production And workflows overall, I am so proud that I can say I damn near master this machine the last update I just found out about maybe a week ago so now I am even more intrigued as a producer I use it every day standalone and planning some releases to Ableton as well.

Just seeing this video and really enjoy your content. Just so everyone knows you can move FX. Don't know if it was in the 3.2.1 or if it was in 3.2 because I didn't do 3.2 with people complaining about bugs. How to move the FX is when you are in the mixer press insert and it shows the FX and next to them are arrows and you just press the arrow to move them up or down. It isn't as straight forward as with moving tracks around.

hi! you great !! i just pourchased an akai force after seeing many of your tutorials. I never used DAWs for midi sequencing. Since 1997 i only used an old but effective Yamaha QY700. Now i've got a Force to upgrade frome that. BUT ... I have some questions: 1- in the QY700 alongside the 16 (plus 16) midi tracks there are also other two tracks: one is a "tempo track" where in song mode i can automate tempo speed changes. the other one is a "chord track" where i input chords that patterns and/or phrases will have to follow and to adapt to. 2- recording midi phrases and patterns (i the QY700) i can assign to each of those a criteria of behavior about following the chords. for example a drum pattern will never change if the chord changes, a "bass" pattern will shift from root to root and you can choose if in "parallel" or adapting to chords. a "chord" pattern will adapt its notes to the nature of the chord and will connect to next chords with diverse kind of harmonic criteria. the question is: does AKAI FORCE has somethings like these ? I saw that some groove machine like the Roland jd-xi has a chord function like that. i know that the QY700 is old and half a way between an arranger and a groove machine or a sequencer/workstation but i think that many midi features are still relevant and i'd like to find those in new machine like the FORCE.

Track re-order is great, still wish we could stop tracks from moving over when a track is deleted. Also it would be dope if we could just swap the positions between 2 tracks. & when in track edit being able to give/change all the pads the same sample at the same time like we could the MPC JJOS. Feel you on moving FX around...like none of Akai guys didn't think that would useful...well at lease we can save them & load them in the slot we want but...WHY?...at this price range we shouldn't be dealing with problems like that.

Midi learn needs an overhaul. The same things they are trying to do with the midi touch effects feature needs to be how midi learn should be. Also being able to recall midi maps what happened to this idea no one needs to recall a big set of controls any more? The bugs in this new version are an instant turn off. I installed it but I’m having some annoying issues that really have me wanting to reinstall 3.1. We still don’t have midi cc control which is like such a basic thing. The ability to move the effects around in the slots has been asked for like a million times and they still think it’s ok to leave it like it is. This machine annoys me as much as it gives me an Ableton like stand-alone experience. At times I contemplate setting up a laptop with my stand-alone gear and just selling this and calling it a day. No other machine can do the things it does other than a daw, but at what cost to my time???

The new firmware is full of bugs, the snapshot function just destroy all of your parameters randomly, and cant play the same note in 2 midi controllers at the same tame, even if the controllers are in different midi channels, i have 2 usb key controllers conected to the akai Key A is controlling a Synth plugin and Key B is only reciving tempo and controlling an external synth, not even active the track or control midi input to the key B. When the key B play C1, the C1 note of the Key A is BLOCKED, cant play it. It happens to with drum racks and controllers (pad Cx blocks Note Cx in Controller) and happens with all the notes, is ugly bug. I hope launch a bug correction inmediatly. I could fix the "random volume levels" that the snapshot brings, creating a row 1 with clips automating volumen at cero in EVERY channels. This update is just a bag of bugs.
