Gracias cumpa por tus videos, son de gran ayuda con la Akai Force, sobre todo para quien está empezando en ella y lo más importante es que trasmites la pasión por la música y esta genial máquina.
Take note, if you’re opening projects from the new Setlist feature found in the Sounds menu, you get a minor build up of CPU/RAM percentage. Plan accordingly if performing the Force live.
@@l.g.5899 I just use a regular audio channel for it just like I would another instrument for recording and I record either locally on the device or into FL studio. I like the basic effects the Akai has for my playing but if you’re really looking for something specific probably just wanna use your regular amp and pedal setup or an AIO into whatever software you like.
I’ve been learning the akai force and you have been a massive help, if anyone ever wants to learn how to use an akai I’d recommend you. I’m Having issue since I updated the force. When I go to sample edit some of my functions are grayed out and I can’t select them (copy, time stretch) any idea how to fix it?
everything is nice but in this update you will not split the instr plug called layer and splite in the earlier version on the control keyboard it was possible there is a problem with this in midi options
there are still problems with midi after connecting an external keyboard, it does not see separate midi channels 1.2.3 ..... 16.. only the global midi track synchro setting does not work akai gave ass with this version 3.1.3 everything worked
I have problems after 3.2 update with old projects and templates. This does not apply to built-in synthesizers. There are problems, for example, with Essential Instruments, after loading the project, the sound is greatly distorted and you have to turn on the plugin in a new way and, accordingly, hang all the effects on it in a new way. Maybe someone know there is solution to this problem?
Bonjour Elbow, I've discovered your channel about two weeks ago,Santa Claus will offer me an MPC Force or Live 2 still don't know yet, I'm also an Akai fanatic... I know that you use different tools for your creativity Ipad, Hardware but my question would be do you know a Synth Vst/Rompler packed with sounds for Soul, RnB,Funk?? That's what I'm looking for my Arsenal,its not so easy to find Have a great day, Arthur
If you don't have an MPC background, use the Force (easier to learn). Elbow made a video "How to Import MPC Expansion Packs into the Akai Force". I'm sure you'll find the right MPC Expansions for your music style.
Hi mate, could I buy this unit to sing in it (with effects of the unit used live), play guitar and managing the musical base of the song (having the effects of voice and guitar pre setted for every song I play in the gig)? Thanx in advance, I dunno if paying 1100 euros for this instead of a DJ controller and two units for guitar and voice (spending the same, all together)...
It just helps when setting up your mixer view and launch to arrange your tracks how you want it. Before you had to do a lot of copying/pasting and rearranging (frog hop) your tracks/clips. Now I hope they'll add that feature to FX chains for changing the order if you want.
@@_thevaporz I hope they add the ability to swap the position of 2 tracks like the #RS7000 which called it track exchange. But track reorder is what I been waiting for so thanks #Akai for giving us something that should've been standard.
I wonder if the Akai Force for you if you make beats as a hobby etc..not necessarily a beginner but not part of a band or producer persay ..I want one as my main piece but I just make beats as q hobby etc..
I don’t believe so Blue. The fact that Akai just dropped the 61 keyboard I doubt if they will put out another unit anytime soon. That’s just my opinion 🙏🏾👊🏾
The only issue I noticed was you cannot edit the MENU screen yet. With that function missing when you use the new slide out menu from the left it only has duplicate buttons functions. Other then that it’s great.
@@nikoblaze5178 ty, man I was going bonkers trying to figure it out. Unfortunately, owning the MPC had me looking for the edit button, but the Force execution is better. 🎉🚀
This feature was so needed for having confidence in going from idea to a more organized project over time.
My man I've been waiting on you to upload this video player thank you man for all that you do!
Love your Akai Force videos

Show’s lookin clean Marcus. Super pro. This new stuff is cool too with the track move.
Happy holidays bra.
Ratcheting is a crazy feature!! Don’t sleep on that!!
that track in THE BACK WITH THE HORNS IS 🔥🔥💥🔥🔥
Thanks bro bro!! 🙏🏾👊🏾

Thanks for this video. The first beat you checked (from the Beat league ) was fire BTW
Thank you!🙏🏾👊🏾
Akai Force and Ableton have a DJ workflow to me. 👍
I didnt think about keygroups being in the new search - nice
I bought the flavor pro plugin when this update came out
That beat 🔥🔥
The Force would really turn heads if it had a software companion. Glad to see you back. Great vid.
No doubt!! Glad to be back Sam! 🙏🏾👊🏾
your setup is so clean bro
Dope review bro. 🦾🦾
I'm looking forward to the new FX and tuner, I play my guitar through mine a lot. Thanks for the video man!
Is it good to play guitar into it? I guess you can't add a midi footpedal so you can use just one sound for song, isn't it?

@@andrewfinley459 ok, so it's better something like a digital pedalboard... thanx mate
@@andrewfinley459 for vocal effects I guess it's the same...
@@l.g.5899 for sure!
Dope track too sick with it
Thanks bro! 🙏🏾👊🏾

wish to see you saying "you picked a wrong house, fool!" :D

Greetings - thanks for the great instructions. I have a question: can the firmware update be done on a MacBook Pro M1 Max?
🤔 you can update using the force all you need is an internet connection. Laptop not needed.
The WiFi update was great - thank you so much for the tip!
what do you miss in 3.2? i want to use the arrowkeys to navigate on screen.left/right in menu, shift+left/right scroll submenus.thanksxD

Automation Snapshots is the gold in the 3.2 update!
Check it out!
I don’t have a force but it’s insane that you weren’t able to do this on version 1.0

Yo ,safe on the video. Can you programe ableton drum rack into it .

And once again they didn't put the chance to do a song in 3/4, unbelievable
for non Akai Force owners, why moving tracks around is such a big deal? Cool video.

It's perfect for that. You can make professional sounding beats on it but it's perfect for hobbyists too
@@rorz999 thanks for your reply...I've never really used Abeleton..have used MPC...but just really intrigued with The Force...
Get it for real
Do you think AKAI FORCE 2 could be released soon?
I don’t believe so Blue. The fact that Akai just dropped the 61 keyboard I doubt if they will put out another unit anytime soon. That’s just my opinion 🙏🏾👊🏾
@@marcuselbow I'm pretty sure the AKAI MPC 61 is turning out to be AKAI's worst release ever.

Yes you can! Just drag and drop in the menu screen... It works
