After 20 years of constantly buying synths, midi gear, and fx units, I can say that the Force is by far the most impressive piece of hardware I have ever purchased. And this even before V3.x. Now, with V3.1 this thing is even more astonishing than ever. Props, Akai - and also a big compliment for constantly improving the Force. Very happy customer here!

I sort of agree, but only in that Ableton Live and a cheap laptop is the most impressive piece of hardware that I've ever purchased. Force is coming closer with each update, with some new ideas thrown in which range from pretty cool to okay. But Force is kinda buggy at times, especially with whatever happen to be the newest features. It really is a cheap computer with some specialized software attached. I find Ableton on a well set-up computer to be the winner, more refined, and much more powerful.

Would be cool if someone made a clear, simple overview of what the Force is, with a demonstration of the intended workflow from start to a finished song. I've been scouring youtube for Force videos while I wait for mine to arrive, and mostly I've found that people don't seem to understand what it is or how it's meant to be used. It seems to be widely misunderstood, and I keep finding people using incredibly cumbersome ways of doing things because they don't know there's already a near-effortless method to accomplish the same thing. I'm guessing this is why the Akai Force hasn't been as popular as MPC and why it hasn't sold as well. It probably should be Akai's best seller, but people don't understand it... and it seems to be due to a lack of good information.

@@TJ-hs1qm Yeah, that plus most of MPC's best features. But based on what I'm seeing in videos and in synth community chatter, people don't seem to know that, or know what it means. The purpose of an overview video and full-song creation demo would be to explain it to people who don't have enough experience to figure it out just by looking. Like, I can say "it's like Ableton but in standalone hardware form, with a bunch of nice synths and effects and the good parts of a MPC and the good parts of Linux"... but that won't mean anything to the people who need the video. Akai has apparently been struggling for years to sell the Force, since it never really caught on like MPC did... and it seems like the underlying issue is just a lack of good noob-level info to help people understand it. Someone who already has the relevant background context can just glance at it and figure it out immediately, because it's obvious. It makes perfect sense. But for everyone else, it's mysterious and confusing. So it'd help a lot if there was a video I could point them at to explain it like they're 5 years old.

A Deluge was looking at me wanting me to comment. Once the Deluge gets it's new update, it will have more modes of synth, polyrhythms, MPE. It will likely have best seq on market. Plus can do multi-samples (sorted automatically) and single waveforms as oscillator, plus crazy use of live input as oscillator. And unlimited samples. The Force is amazing in terms of features and workflow, I'd have one already if MPE was on the cards. When I use a Push now I find myself trying to add expression to notes like I am still using a MPE controller. I feel like I have half a controller when without MPE. Without it I feel expressionless, like I am just hitting a bunch of on/off switches, which is exactly what I am doing without MPE. Great updates on the Force but a elephant is in the room, or the absence of elephant in the room in the form of MPE.

The Force has revolutionized the way I do live modular sets. Used to run two cases.. one for drums being driven by erica drum sequencer running the assimil8or and some drum modules. One case has synth voices driven by nerdseq which is the master clock for both cases. Now I run Akai force for drums, loops, send FX from modular AND the force seq the modular case (one case now wirh just voices and maybe one drum modiule but with the drum synths I may pull out that 909 hats module).. midi sent to Polyend Poly2.. that can send enough CV/gate, clock and cc on clips that makes for kinda live modulation per clip. Sets can be less linear and pattern based and the limits are way past where I’ve gotten with it.

As someone who bought a force after watching this video I was crushed when I realised the built in sample warp is so bad that you cant increase the project by 2 bpm without things going out of sync and the loops sounding horrific. With the hopes of syncing my live sets with DJs and importing loops from splice like they advertised I cant belive this has been a problem since launch and it has never been looked at. I understand it will never be as good as ableton but even comparing it to samplers with much smaller CPUs its insane that they cant pull it off on this device.

They knocked it out of the park… it’s the perfect hub for hardware and song production with hardware latency… does it have multi track recording and play back with the (up to) 32 ins and out with a audio interface? Could replace a computer entirely… looks good for Akai’s future… imagine they made something from scratch after this with the objective to fully replace a computer

"when people bought Force they're like 'I want it to do more'..." The people that were early adopters wanted it to do what they were sold. Same way people that bought 'No Man's Sky' wanted what was promised. Don't get me wrong, the Force is amazing and each firmware revision adds more capability but...a lot was promised!

MPE is now a must have feature for me, amazing how something can quickly become an integral part of the workflow. I'd have a Force already if I know it was coming. Luckily it is coming to Deluge - but be easier to add MPE to the Force than a nice workflow & UI to the Deluge.

@@anonymous_friend - Don't think the Force did get MPE. It can take poly in from MPE controller. And I guess you can do a workaround for MPE. Like putting a plugin synth of the same preset on multiple tracks, then set to different MIDI channels.

Am I the only one who noticed Roland's "JU-06A" as an audio device at 6:24 It's not class-compliant audio (as far as I know) and iPad music community was struggling with Roland's audio for a while now. Seems like Force has Roland's drivers preinstalled?

Thanks for flagging. I posted the question, multiple times, also for the mpc one 2.10 upgrade: can the boutique's be connected midi and(!) audio over usb? Anyway hoping that an owner of both devices will experiment and post a vid.

I believe they have the audio out of the JU hooked into an audio input of the mixer which transfers to class-compliant audio over USB to the Force.
