5 stars my friend! This is the type of stuff that sounds like it’s been polished to perfection in a DAW. Unbelievable performance, beautiful storytelling composition and a joy to watch you operate the machinery as well!
Thanks for this amazing comment! I don’t think its bound to time or space as there is a lot of this genre to be found.. Have you checked out the releases of afterlife, anjunadeep or steyoyoke? Lots of good stuff there
The modx is really versatile in sound design. The akai force a really powerful sequencer so they work very well together. The sequencer on the modx is a little limited and difficult to me. Starting small is a great idea and will let you get more out of the machines you already have
Hey Adrian, Thx a lot! I’m doing great, but am a little busy trying to be a great father and building a new studio. So there’s less time than before but when the studio is finished it will be better! How are you?
Hey Twin!! Thx a million sis.. The force is easier for triggering loops and stuff. However the MPC workflow can also do similar stuff when assigning multiple drums to a track
Amazing man wow!! I Dj and want to get into music production…Psy Trance and peak hour techno, but don’t even know where to start or buy. I’m light years behind lol. I have always loved music and pushing 46 yrs old. Don’t know if it’s too late 😂. Anyways, I’m blown away by your talent man. IMPRESSIVE. Def inspiring me to want to learn. Got to start somewhere and never to old to learn something new. I subscribed to your channel and look forward to checking out your vids and new upcoming content. Cheers 🤙🏼 and keep up the awesome work!!!
It’s never too late to start! I also love to dj but making music is a little different. The Akai Force is a really nice machine to get into it. It’s like ableton in a box. Amazing machine to start
@@Expectaz thanks for lending me a hand on what equipment to buy/ start with. Looking to purchase some gear this month and start the journey. Anything else you recommend also with the Akai force? Keyboard…ect? Would love your feedback and your setup looks and sounds phenomenal!! Thanks again for replying back, much appreciated! 🎶
I would advice not getting a lot of gear at once. Any midi keyboard would do and complements the force very well if you play the keys. Start learning slowly and get a good understanding of the gear you have instead of getting a lot which might confuse you
@@Expectaz ok, great advice. Been checking out tutorial vids on the force already. A ton to learn for me as I am a complete newbie but I’m a fast learner. I am going to purchase it from Sweetwater this month and what midi keyboard would you recommend on complimenting the A force? I will get the two together with the order and learn both. Again I really appreciate your help and expertise. Is it ok to reach out to you with any of my questions. Any other way of contacting you by email or social media if that’s ok. Don’t want to bother you or be a nag man. I’m from Massachusetts and my name is Eddy. Just really love EDM. Best music for sure. Been a life saver for me. Thanks a ton for all the advice so far. 🙏🏻
@@edeepimandrade3501 Great to meet you Eddy! Of course you can reach me on the other socials which might be better for chatting and such.. If you search for expectaz on facebook you’ll find me. Love to assist you on your journey. I’m from the Netherlands
Not yet, but that’s a great idea! I did use the modx as an output once.. I do however have my Behringer on which all of my synths/machines are connected. One single usb cable is enough to be able to record them all. Amazing stuff!
Awesome! Realy nice! But also very strange to me. Music without playing; pressing buttons, turning knobs ... here and there. The music is awesome, but I prefer to play myself ;) The only thing I am really missing is a drum machine.
Thanks Martin! I’m composing music and sometimes perform it like this. Other times with the modular for example it’s more playing. Just enjoying the ride here ☺️
Great performance ! You master the spaces ! It seems rythmic parts comes from Elektron and some melodics, and leads / FX from the Virus Ti, no ? Please tell me also which one is the best for multitimbral improvisations
Hey Florian, the drums are from the Force. The bladerunner lead from the start is the Virus TI. Piano is MODX but the rest of the melody is from the Analog Four which is set to transpose the tracks and scale of F# minor in this case. So for improvisations the analog four is amazing. I also use the Novation Circuit and Monostation for that because they behave in a same way. Unfortunately the digitone doesn’t have this
@@Expectaz nice been really thinking about the MPC Key 61 but already own a MPC one and Akai Force so debating if worth it -- i have my Arturia Keylab 61 MK2 keyboard that's nice
Hi, are you here using Force for drums only ? I have just right buyed an Analog 4, i have a Minilogue and an Akai Force. I'm thinking to sell the Force and buy an Analog Rytm 4. Do you think Is a good choice ?
I might not be the one to ask as I have even 2 Forces 😝 The rytm is a great machine but Force does so much more than only drums. Yeah in this track I’ve only used it for drums but if you look around my channel you can see it does so much more. Especially with the latest update that has disk streaming and new synths. Think I will get a rytm one day but will never sell one of my Forces
Technically you’re absolutely correct but it feels so different than a regular computer :) The elektron also acts a little like a daw. They’re both synced and run their own sequencers
Weirdly getting the biggest Future Crew - Second Reality (1993), killer PC demo out of this (right around here: th-cam.com/video/rFv7mHTf0nA/w-d-xo.html). This slaps.
Totally amazing!! I used to watch a lot of these demos, mostly by the Future Crew but a few years later. But I now do get where my inspiration is coming from. Thanks for this!! Going to rewatch a lot them!
No groove, same bar playing over and over. You dont need all that gear to achieve that sort of primitive track. Your chord progressions need to be creative. I will not listen to this for a second time.
@@Expectaz You need to listen different genres of electronic music, and learn to play piano, start with the basic chords. Avoid repetation, you cant play the same riff for 128 bars. Turning the knobs of your gears on and off just wont cut it. My last suggestion is to avoid melodies, try minimal dance music with samples thrown in. Cheers.

This totally makes my day Sonny! Super dank, vind het erg leuk om met deze synths bezig te zijn. Knopjes draaien! 😉
Yes I agree with all these comments
this takes me right back to when techno was worth listening to!
Thanks for this amazing comment! I don’t think its bound to time or space as there is a lot of this genre to be found.. Have you checked out the releases of afterlife, anjunadeep or steyoyoke? Lots of good stuff there
Amazeing....you have such a unique setup..
Reminds me a bit at Purple Motions music for the Future Crew's PC-Demo...very nicely done! ❤🎹🎼
Did watch a lot of the demos back then! Thx Angelo!
awesome performance dude! lovely track!
Thanks!!
Wow!!!! from Italy
Thanks a lot!! @blume986
JUHU ! Mal wieder GEIL vom Feinsten !!!
Vielen dank Carsten!!
Huge respect to those jamming dawless ❤❤❤👌👌👌
It’s so much more fun than clicking in notes with a mouse and keyboard 😚
Just beautiful man!❤️
Hey Richard, thx for listening!!
Top Djs should do performances like this life more or just hire you to Do it in a life gig Thubs up!
Dank je Michael! Wil dit ook gaan combineren met lange dj sets, soort van hybride. Wordt vet
Great genre and great performance! Need to sit down to make something as well :-D
That’s always a great idea!
Mega Expectaz
Vielen dank Wilhelm!!
This is awesome - I love seeing all this and no DAW. Love the transitions.
Thanks a lot Bryan. Thinking of the transitions and melodies in realtime makes jamming a joy
its a drone with an arpeggiator! profound
The analog four is great for that 😚
This was HUGE! Love to see you at work. Well done bro!
Dank je Jan!! Love to play these machines. So much fun
Brilliant work! Love your setup, amazing. I have MODX7 and would love to learn to connect with other devices. Small scale first :)
The modx is really versatile in sound design. The akai force a really powerful sequencer so they work very well together. The sequencer on the modx is a little limited and difficult to me. Starting small is a great idea and will let you get more out of the machines you already have
Amazing, I love the intro! I'm glad you're back! I hope everything is ok with you, alle the best. Adrian
Hey Adrian, Thx a lot! I’m doing great, but am a little busy trying to be a great father and building a new studio. So there’s less time than before but when the studio is finished it will be better! How are you?
Nice dream trance track with fantastic sound.😀🎶
Vielen dank Michael! Always love to play this kind of music ;)
@@Expectaz Das hört man auch auf jeden Fall...viele Grüße😀🎶
Big track and big setup too! I was waiting something like this✌🏻
Thx my friend!! You’re doing great too but my Italian isn’t up to par 😉 Mille grazie!
Yes, sounds excellent. Full of energy and tec vibes. R E S P E C T
Thanks a lot mate! Really enjoy jamming like this.. Great thing is that everything can be combined and remixed on the fly
Yeah - superb job man !!
Excellent as always mate! 👊
Hey Carl, thx for your amazing support and you made my day on FB ☺️
Man you’re getting so in the pocket 👏👏
Thx a lot!! Really love doing this
Great performance again mate!! Very nicely done 😎👌
Thx a lot Hansu! See you’re having a go at it too again 😉
@@Expectaz Yeah, had to get acquainted with some new studio equipment and didn't have much time for making music lately, but that has now changed 😎
@@HansuMyura I know the feeling. Getting new gear is fun but keeps you away from making music because of the deep dive in most cases 😚
Playing on CC40 yeeeeaahh!!!
Really having fun like this, thx Albert for listening!
@@Expectaz Sounds Good man!!!
Love it...
Thx a lot Kelly!
Yeaaaah Twinny that was awesome.....think you persuaded me to use force for drums in my cf set...just yesss give me a few hours of that Im dancing 😉💖🙌
Hey Twin!! Thx a million sis.. The force is easier for triggering loops and stuff. However the MPC workflow can also do similar stuff when assigning multiple drums to a track
Rhythm bro.
Amazing
Thx a lot!! Really appreciate the support!
love it!
Thanks a lot Amit! Now you see why I would love sysex support 😎
Another belter ❤👍🎶🎶🎶🎶
Thx a million Jonny!! Been a while here too just as you shared today. Nevertheless we’re back mate!
Soooooo friggen dope man!!!
Thanks Gazm! Been on a little break of producing tracks but really wanted to make one again.. the force is strong lol
@@Expectaz I know man! I have missed the Expectaz bangers!! Its good to see you back man!!
After 3-5 lockdowns my music will sound as good as yours... :)
Thanks a lot Gert, that’s a great compliment. Just keep playing and have fun!
If you survive the booster shots

Did you tried to use the Modx as an audio interface for the Force and sending individual tracks to the Force?
Not yet, but that’s a great idea! I did use the modx as an output once.. I do however have my Behringer on which all of my synths/machines are connected. One single usb cable is enough to be able to record them all. Amazing stuff!
What stand are you using for the MODX6?
These are 2 simple laptop stands next to each other like this one www.bax-shop.nl/laptop-stand/innox-iva-05-mkii-laptop-tabletop-stand
Awesome! Realy nice!
But also very strange to me. Music without playing; pressing buttons, turning knobs ... here and there. The music is awesome, but I prefer to play myself ;) The only thing I am really missing is a drum machine.

Witch model is that MODX is it 61 key
Yes it’s the MODX with 61 keys. Sounds are great. So much stuff you can layer, but a little hard to program
@@Expectaz nice been really thinking about the MPC Key 61 but already own a MPC one and Akai Force so debating if worth it -- i have my Arturia Keylab 61 MK2 keyboard that's nice
Also have an mpc live and force, but the modx has better sounds and design capabilities. A real knobby synth is also a lot of fun. Analog style 😝

Use the force dude...
@@Matias-gs4jt Yeah!!
Selling the Force is not a good decision, keep it and learn to master it :)
Totally agree 😚
The akai is the daw...
Technically you’re absolutely correct but it feels so different than a regular computer :) The elektron also acts a little like a daw. They’re both synced and run their own sequencers
Yes IT IS..i Work with the Maschine mk3 in my Studio..❤️🎶🎵🎵😊
Maschine is also very cool. Have the mk2 but use it not that often anymore.. should be using it more

I’m sorry to hear that. What would you advice to make it better? Chord progressions is tricky for this genre
@@Expectaz You need to listen different genres of electronic music, and learn to play piano, start with the basic chords. Avoid repetation, you cant play the same riff for 128 bars. Turning the knobs of your gears on and off just wont cut it. My last suggestion is to avoid melodies, try minimal dance music with samples thrown in. Cheers.
Maybe the point is not in chord progression, but the groove it has.
Like four to the floor? Or quantization?
