Yea! Open and create... I've recently jammed from a blank slate (videos up) and hit a brick wall when my old track templates needed updating. Sooo much more accomplished when you open a personalized song template. Keep on!
Very helpful thanks you ! My Force is on the way / w/ drive.Does force recognize the SATA drive and can you see where to create folders for it ? I'm a newbie to Akai , excuse me if this sounds like an elementary question. thx - billy
Yes Force shows the hard drive you install in the back on Load and Save screens. It and the SD card are the only drives that show when plugged by USB in Computer Mode. Do not save anything on Internal. If u do, save a copy on the installed drive and delete any large audio files from Projects etc - see my delete from internal video. ShOUT!
@@protenuator Thank you so much for this valuable info. There are race through vid.s out there , I'm happy to have found your videos & I'm going to watch your others .Also Like you I was confused about the updates , mine is showing 3.1.1 , I agree w/you ,the order in which the updates are listed is odd. After drive install ,my first move is to up date by WiFi keeping my fingers crossed . Thanks again !
Thank you for the video. It was really helpful! I have one question: is it normal that Force gets warm? I just got it today, and screen and left from the screen seems to get really warm. Not hot, but is it usual?
Nektar, consider that the vents are on the side of the Force. Make sure nothing blocks those. I built a custom case that has airflow designed in the build. Warm is okay. Do u have a laser temp thermometer gun like they use on foreheads? Letz temp check and post up!
True. The screen is incredibly difficult to video, reflecting stuff. I built a black shield but need to find another camera setup to do it. PITA, then it is in the way.
Probably the wall hanging reflecting... new house, expanded studio again after fitting it in the bedroom to move a friend with epilepsy back to Colorado. Better setup, new MBP M1 14", added cameras! July 2022!
S U B S C R I B E D I'm really interested in recording/arranging live instruments through the Force. I'll be checking out your content for tips/perspective since you're also using guitars and eternal instruments. Keep up the good work man!🤘
Thanks! Def on the list, I've recorded that content multiple times. See what is coming up, secret mega rig announcement soon, first analog synth too! 🔥😎🔥
I can't thank you enough Protenuator. Created my first drum kit as well as drum template on the Akai Force, which is a BEAST by the way.
Thank you!

If you don't zoom the screen is difficult to see what are you doing

What is that texture on the screen?
Probably the wall hanging reflecting... new house, expanded studio again after fitting it in the bedroom to move a friend with epilepsy back to Colorado. Better setup, new MBP M1 14", added cameras! July 2022!
