Force Academy | Making a LoFi Beat 

Wait.... The arranger records the cross fader too???? My goodness let me update my Force right now.

Keep it up Akai! This is a huge leap forward.

Although I' m a Maschine User and recently sent back an MPC One I tested out I must say that this update pushed Force in front of all standalone units, functionwise. Although it seems very complex and I don' t know if arranging on the 7" screen will be fun, though. A 10" one like on MPC would be way more suitable.

As a RS7000 user for MIDI sequencing for many years. My mind is blown by this. I've been waiting for something new but had no idea it could be this nice.

That ain’t lo-fi, Akai.

Finally Arrived!!! A great update that every Akai Force owner wanted....now Akai Force is a really musical beast. Unbeatable : ) @t

I must say the technology is so advance today in order to produce and create a song is ASTONISHING! I love the track that was created live with so much ease. I started creating my beats with the AKAI XR-20 Beat Production Center, 7 years ago. Remember that one?Which I have two of them. I would love to get my hands on this one. Love your demo video love the song as well. Keep making videos like this. Peace and Love.

Ohhhhhh My GOD!!!! This is Awesome!

Wow! Absolutely love it. Thank you

I bagged up my force and went back to my keyboard. I might bring it back out now!

Now regretting selling my force. Thankfully i have the X but wow.

YES SIR.

Whats up with that MPC ONE update though?

I have a question. If I want to erase a note, can't I just hold down delete and the pad of the note while it plays in real-time or do I need to select the sound on a grid and then tap it 2 times or something?

This is great is there a force training academy in manchester

Sounds like a yogaholics class

Please tell me how to bounce plugin or drum track into audio clip?

In what ”mode” are you at 0:18 its not a drumrack nor the note mode ??

How to add non-standard chords and rare scales?

Jesus, with this thing I feel like I could go from zero production capability to having everything I need to mass produce license-free backing tracks. This thing will pay for itself in no time, bet

Ive been an flstudio user for ages, gave up on ableton as I had a lot going on in life when it first hit the scene.. these pads.. can someone point me to a video that explains the concept of it for a beginner? ive never arranged music like this or samples.. and how the hell does the user know what to press is it just memory or what? looks like playing memory game to me ..

next time you need someone to make a lofi beat for your product videos, let me know 😅

Funny, not exactly a tutorial on how to USE the Force at all. I mean, up until about 4:30 or so there is no mention of which buttons to press to arm, overdub, etc… and even then alot of steps left out completely. More of a demo/promo than a tutorial.

This was more of a demonstration, the lesson wasn’t clear from start to finish

That no Lo-Fi. Trap!

It’s not a lo-fi beat

Shame about the dogs barking outside

Those drums sound so stupid.
