- Hello techno, synth and groove box lovers!
Welcome to my latest live set with my beloved Akai Force 3.1.2. In this live set I try to create a dark and eerie atmosphere by sampling Harry Potter movies and picking instruments that sound dark and evil. Even though this is a standalone set, I have created some of the synth melodies with my behringer model d and korg minilogue and saved them as audio loops in my set.
Many of you liked the explanations in my last live set which is why I added subtitles for you again, so that you can easier understand what and why I am doing certain actions.
Enjoy, like and subscribe!

Your commentary throughout is very informative and helpful!
Thanks. Good to know that writing those comments adds some value to these videos since it takes up quite some time.
Wow ! Just awesome 👏👏👏🎶🎶 SO good. You are a real wizard (!😂) on the Force.
Thank you so much 😀
love the explanation to it. keep going 🥳
Toooooo Good brother . Thank you for sharing your gift.
My pleasure!
Dinamite allo stato puro !!!
Muchas gracias!
Great set and explanation, really helps me.
It always makes me happy if people can get ideas or inspiration from my videos. Sometimes, I also get my inspiration from youtube content.
Great Performance! 👍 Could you explain (in another video) how to create such huge project (which settings for the A/B, track order, clip order, FX settings, ...) THX 😄👍
Really eye opening watching your moves on the fly. Another vote for the mini tutorial series. Thankyou.
Amazing! Love it!
Thanks 🙃
great demo tks !! :-)
Nice one ☀️
sehr fein!
Great sounds, thanks you for explanations, very useful for the beginner that I am !
This is sick ! been thinking about getting this but now im defo getting this
Awesome work on your song project you've really did it. Also I just learned something from you of how you programmed navigate your Force. Everything is just amazing within this instrument and I sure like to thank you for sharing this video!!
My pleasure!
Supervet, of zoals jullie zeggen geil!!🥰
😄 Bedankt!
Great set, and also really helpful to read the commentary. Thanks!
Would love some tutorials on setting up the macros, especially macros that help to transition smoothly between scenes.
Great set Wolfgang, and the subtitles helped me understand what was going on. I am just getting into my Akai Force and not being a DJ, I wondered if it was possible to automate the tweaking, repeats, and changing scenes etc instead of doing it live as I keep getting lost and forget what I planned to do next. Any advice would be gratefully received 😎.
Cheers Ray!
You cannot program how often a scene gets repeated or which scene follows next, but you could record your order of scenes and repetitions into the Force arranger. However, then your performance possibilities are very limited.
Yo brother, I just found your moves right now, that's looking and sound stunning man, I'm newby in akai force I just purchased it a few days ago 😀
I could see you mixed smoothly between two tunes so it means you got more than one tunes opened in one project, When you perform all that tunes live, how you open all of them in one project? Thanks man, keep playing it's dope 👌
Thanx man, there are some exciting days ahead of you getting to know the Force better. Feel free to check out my three big beatmaking tutorials and other performances.
Here's how I work:
I always open a project and within that project I create one track. After that I decide on a key for a new track that works well with my old track and arrange the clips in a way that allows me to transition between old elements of the previous and new elements of the upcoming track.
I then save that project and as soon as I've got some time again, I open up that project and work on the next track. My biggest project consists of more than ten songs, that is 58 tracks (columns) and more than 120 scenes (lines). That's how I do it. If you want mix different projects you need a second Force.
Awesome and brighting set and musical production. Full of energy. Reminds me so much parties. Really talented and creative and full of sensibility. Big big big like for this splendid perform and brilliant sharing!
Wow! Thanks for your kind words. Glad you enjoyed the performance so much.
Great work my friend, that whole work flow and the amount that can be setup is mind boggling, lol
Hopefully one day you could do a full tutorial on how you just did all that, I'm sure there are thousands of buddy musos out there that would live to learn something like you just performed, I personally would pay for that sort of information 😁
Thanks. Since it took me three weekends to create that set, it's pretty tough to cram it all in one tutorial. It would either be too long or if shortrned too superficial and not deep enough.
However, my Force beatmaking tutorials cover a lot of the principles involved in this set. Check them out.
You've certainly got the knack! Great work and commentary.
Cheers!
Nice work as usual. Thanks man

Super wäre froh wenn ich schon soweit wäre 👍👍👍💪💪
Danke Thomas. Ist alles nur eine Frage der Übung und wieviel Zeit/Geduld man in die Force steckt.
Great performance and explanation, thx a lot
You're welcome!
Richtig gut. Wo hast du die tollen Holzseitenteile her? Kann man diese irgendwo beziehen, oder hast du sie selbst angefertigt? 👍
Danke! Den Holz-Stand kannst du dir hier bestellen: www.fonik.co.uk/de/products/self-build-stand-for-akai-force
Great Set 🔥
Thanks. Much appreciated!
This is awesome, would love to know how ya did that tape stop trick, I'll have to play around with that. Very cool! 😎👍
Thanks Nick, I'm planning on doing a Force mini tutorial series, This will definitely be one episode.
Really cool
That drop on 8:17
Mega set Groß-er!
Wow! Awesome set! May I ask you a question? Do you think there's a big difference between the akai force's drum synth and the roland tr8s? Do you think I have to buy the roland to have a good quality live set?
Thanks, Emilio!
You don't need the tr-8s. The Force offers plenty of possibilities to create and perform drums if you use a mixture of drum synth and drum groups with samples. You have way more possibilities to create patterns and drum sounds on the Force. However, if you've too much money to spend and you want to have direct access to every drum sound for performance reasons, you could get one.
@@wolfgang_grows Thaks for answeri g! Today I'll have my akai force too! Can't wait to play it!!!
Ja, gute Tracks, gut gemacht..Kennst du eigentlich auch die Warp Probleme, das audiotracks nicht richtig sauber laufen? Oder liegt das nur an meiner Force? Beste Grüße
Danke. Die Warp Probleme habe ich auch, wenn ich mehr als 5 bpm des Tempos variiere. Das ist eines der Wenigen Sachen, die die Force nicht gut kann.
@@wolfgang_grows ja die Force ist schon gutes Gerät. Jetzt mit den neuen synths fast perfekt, ein neuer arranger wäre Wünschenswert..
Sehr geil.
Meine Force wird heute geliefert.
Hab sonst gerne mit Ableton und Push Controller Musik gemacht also hoffe ich mit der Force auch relativ gut klar zu kommen.
Danke.
Ich kann mich noch dran erinnern als meine Force ankam. Man ist erstmal geschockt, wie groß und massiv das Teil ist😄
Du hast auf jeden Fall weniger Optionen als beim Push. Es macht aber mega Spaß damit zu produzieren und darauf zu jammen.
@@wolfgang_grows War wohl nichts, kommt doch erst am Samstag also ist erstmal ungeduldiges Warten angesagt.
Weniger Optionen als beim Push ist vielleicht gar nicht so schlecht.
Hab das Talent Ableton immer ruck zuck mit zig verschiedenen VSTs vollzumüllen, da ist es eventuell gar nicht so verkehrt wenn ich von vorneherein etwas limitiert bin 😁
Hab zuletzt mit meinem Yamaha Rm1x musiziert, da waren die Möglichkeiten noch weniger und hat trotzdem Spaß gemacht.
@@wolfgang_grows Kurzes Update.
Die Kiste kam doch schon heute und nach ca 2 1/2 Stunden war der erste Track fertig.
Zwar relativ einfach gehalten aber ich bin jetzt schon begeistert.
Unglaublich was mit der Force alles möglich ist, selbst den Track als WAV exportieren geht direkt in der Kiste.
Hab heute gerade mal etwas an der Oberfläche gekratzt aber ich werde sicherlich noch viel Spaß damit haben.
Interesting. I was wondering the best way to have multiple tracks blend into each other like a full dj deck. Ashame you have to put all the clips into one project. Would be nice if you could load two projects and crossfade them like a real dj kit.
Guess if you wanted to spend money like that, you could get two Akai Forces but seems a bit excessive though it is probably good to have a backup anyway.
The part at 12:13 sounds dope !!!
How much does this structure give you the opportunity to free wheel or is this designed to be a fairly structured flow from start to end?
That's up to you. I like to have it neatly structured, so that I can focus more on the performance and make less mistakes in a live situation.
Nice work!
Have you got all the knobs assigned to a specific effect for this 3 track piece? How would you deal with that moving on to 8-10 tracks?
Thanx. The knobs are assigned to individual tracks, submix channels and effects. You can assign several effect parameters to one knob and you can switch to different knob pages. I've also made a Force set with more than ten tracks, which you can find on my channel.
@@wolfgang_grows great, will check that out - really shows of well what can be done with just the force - thanks!
Bonjour.
Je pensais qu'on ne pouvait avoir huit pistes audio au maximum
Merci.
Salut.
Bonjour,
That's true, but you can also have 8 plug-in tracks and up to 128 drum tracks...
How much is sample based as opposed to generated with plugins on Force?
I only use some drum samples and Harry Potter samples. Everything else (80-90%) is based on internal plugins or recorded loops from external synths (korg minilogue and behringer model d).
@@wolfgang_grows that's great - really good sound from the internal engines. most impressive.
