Akai Force Fridays - Where to start? (i.e. making a beat or track) 

Just so you know, I picked up the Force back in February. I’ve watched A LOT of RU-vid tutorials on it. I found your channel when needing help assigning knobs. I’ve learned more from your videos than any others I’ve watched, and now also follow your music on Spotify. Thanks for putting in the time and effort to put these together. I know editing, prep, and uploading all takes time. Just wanted you to know your work was not in vain. Your videos are well thought out and very helpful. Thanks for the work you do, it truly is appreciated.

Thank you so much for your time.... 🙏🏼

good vid, please keep doing Force Fridays I much appreciate

My force arrived today. Perfect timing for me. Thanks for putting in the work to help us learn the ways. I'll be going back to all the force Friday videos now that I have it in front of me.

Some good tips in here! Thanks for making these 🙏

Your Infinity Pools collection is very beautiful. As an artist, I don't have a fan account on BC, and I just stopped by to tell you. Cheers.

some really good pointershere thanks

Great tutorials! I bought one two weeks ago and have been digesting all your videos.

Great stuff man ;-)

After I get my MPC one which is on back order until end of May :/ ill pick up one of these as well as I like to play live this would be great especially for deep samples as I love orchestral pieces.

I start with the provided templates, under Places -> Projects-> Templates

After seeing your recent MPC Live2 vs Force video I’m left with the feeling that... I wish the Force was more similar to the Push2. I don’t really get along with the PC DAW workflow. I like instruments. So stand-alone is ideal, but I also heavily use software instruments and effects on iPadOS (with physical controllers to make them feel more like instruments). I also REALLY like portability, but I don’t necessarily require OP1/Z style portability, nor do I love their workflows because it’s less direct interaction and more shift-press and menu diving. The MPC Live2 feels pretty much right up my alley, and I can deal with a lack of XLR I/O. Just stressing over the GAS.

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

+1

I want to know how you do mashups on the akai force for live performance. Are you able to demonstrate it please?

I’m a Maschine user. In groups/your kits you can edit the midi notes of the pad. I used this on hi hat rolls to pitch them up and down. How in the hell do you pitch a pad in the drum rack???? Thanks!!! This channel will possibly be the reason I don’t sell the Force and but the Maschine +. I got the force because it’s cheaper and more powerful but so far I’m not liking the workflow as compared to Maschine (super easy and fun)

Are there any chance%/probability options for a sigle step to mute, like elektron does?
