Akai Force 3.0.6 Drum Synth and Workflow Tutorial: Making a Techno Track from Scratch 

Well done! And your English is excellent. I learned a lot of things I didn't know. Very informative. I stayed through to the end.

Me and my girlfriend follow through your tutorial, this is the most helpfull so far, to see a whole song constructed. Thank you very much!

super cool big up from Portugal

This is one of the best Force videos I’ve seen. Quality content, thanks!

Amazing tutorial, I'm having a lot of fun following it, thanks a lot for taking the time to make it and explain stuff so clearly. In case someone is getting frustrated about automation not being recorded to a clip, remember to enable automation recording in the mixer, took me a while to figure that one out

Finally, a sample-free tutorial! Am I the only one who got a Force and only/mainly want to use it with the integrated VSTs? Just seems way more fun to me, kinda like with the Roland 707 I had before...

Consider videos to get newbies started on the instrument. It overwhelms even experienced producers, so newbies have virtually zero chance of operating it successfully. You're very good at showing the navigation. Thats what most leave out. I think you'd be very successful at it.

One of the best Force tutorials out there!!

Danke für die Mühe

Beautiful to see you finally share some of your knowledge and in the new update. I like your work...is very crispy and groovy. Thank you and please keep bringing more contents.

Enjoyed. Thank you!

This is great. Thanx man😃

Thank you for this video

very helpful! thanks man!

Learned a lot. Thanks.

Great tutorial...thanks

interesting video! Greetings from Italy

Awesome tutorial! Thanks! I found that by assigning the crossfader through macros instead of through the basic track assign I was able to record the automations into the arranger mode.

Very interesting tutorial and well done. Regards

Very Nice Job!! 😀 👊

Nice one, thank you!

very technical nice

Thanks for your great videos, Wolfgang. Learned a lot from your videos and I love your techno sets. Looking forward to your next Force Video! For those interested: The arranger mode, the drum synth, the price drop and of course these videos made me decide it's now time for the Force. Tried the Octatrack: loved it (esp. the sequencer, fader and conditional trigs), but the workflow was too cumbersome for me (I do think that one day it will be back :)). Tried Push 2, great controller and build quality but don't want to be stuck to a laptop al the time. Tried Maschine Plus: great build quality (love the new encoders vs MK3 ones) but in my workflow I had big CPU issues causing audio crackles and pops so I'll stick to my MK3. Again, the new features and price drop makes the Force a very attractive device. Good luck deciding which one is best for you!

Hey Wolfgang love your tutorials, wondered if you could do a full tutorial like this one but on say minimal techno like Boris Belcha's music ?, it would be muchly appreciated by many I would think, keep up the great tutorials 👍

Akai force-How to loop a pad within a drum track/note mode/pads/sample edit> shift>loop For live jam session. Only worked once. I created mute groups for the pick up, but it has only worked once. I have firmware 3.0.5

How about making video on making tracks on force from sample packs i. e industrial strength or something

GREAT!!! Wolfgang a question: is it possible to import a external loop (created with logic X for example) and to play with other clips created on Akai? tnk!

Any video to solve my query below? ...in. FORCE Standlone. 1. I can't match bpm of two different audioin track's with different rhythm instrument's loop in 4 or 16 beat(even in 6/8 beat= 4T) . I have downloaded both loops (Prepared in studio) = Is it called sample or loops?? I tried but can't operate warp or time stretch...!!! Any your video to GUIDE me...🙏

Hi, ich habe mir gerade dein Video mit Begeisterung angeschaut und hätte da eine Frage: Bei 6:20 hast du als Root Note Eb eingestellt. Bei mir steht diese nicht zur Auswahl. Ich habe nur A, A#, B, C, C#, D, D#, E, F, F#, G und G# zur Auswahl. Oder ist E (flat) einfach nur die englische Bezeichnung für eine der mir zur Auswahl stehenden Tonarten zB D#? Sorry für die dumme Frage, ich bin in Musiktheorie nicht so fit ;) Grüße gehen raus und Danke für deine Videos ;)

Why E flat Minor? Seems obscure Key? Could you please explain choices of key as I really have no club on this. Thank you 😊

I am trying to understand one specific thing in your video. At 13.02 you show how you have a low pass filter loaded in the slot after the Reverb. To cut some high frequencies. All fine, I understand this. However...at 13:20 you are explaining how Reverb FX itself has a filters and you are using a LoFreq filter set at 155 Hz. So that everything that the reverb spit out below 155 Hz is cutted out to avoid muddiness etc. Again all fine I understand this. My question is how come you are not using the Hi Freq filter on the very same Reverb FX which is basically a LowPass filter (in your video it's set to 20Khz) but instead you loaded LowPass filter after the Reverb? Was it because of the sonics or more freedom that individual filters provide or you simply don't think about it? The reason why I am asking is that (no I am not trying to be smart or trying to find weird errors in your awesome video) isn't that the same thing? I mean by using Reverb filters likely one could achieve sonically the same result by using Filters on the reverb itself instead of loading one after the Reverb just for the sake of saving one insert slot? Over the weekend when I catch some time I will try your tutorial step by step and see for myself but until then I am just curious. Much respect for this video I love you, we need more people like you!!!

Is it possible to record into empty clips while others are playing, without having to stop the playback?

I signed on your Channel, please help me i Need to play a clip audio with a sample of mine with a keyboard Akai. How can i do this

does it have a song mode now?

die Automatisierung ist immer ein gefummel, wird zeit das sie da etwas ändern. Ein echter softwaresynth wäre auch gut. Und wenn sie dann noch den arranger verbessern, wäre das teil echt perfekt..

impossible to see what you are doing the camera is out of focus close up, too frustrating to watch
