Using the AKAI MPC LIVE 3 as a standalone techno performance

Guys i require your help, I'm in need of someone who is a live performer using the MPC LIVE 3. I perform techno, and my setup right now is the Akai force with the Elektron Analog Rytm mk2, and i want to switch to only one machine, i want to be able to control the drums aka activating them on and off on the drum rack and at the same time launch audio clips, move parameters with Q link and make a,flow. My sets are two hours usually so im in need of spontaneous work. i saw that with MPC LIVE 3 you cannot do multiple things as it is mode by mode. cant i automate the launch clips action to the sequencer on top while being on the drum rack to use the pads XY as fx and q link allowing multiple works at the same time?
If not is there other option than other midi controllers to connect it and control it?

You can you the Row/Scene follow-action to seq row in the matrix on L3 & the Force. You can put the Force in multiple modes at once better than the L3 since the Force has 64 pads can used as a 64 step-seq, 32 step-seq with 32 drum pads, 32 step-seq with 16 drum pads & 16 velocity pads, I seen some put in mode where it was laughing clips 4x4, 16 drum pads & step-seq but I would have to double check on that.

The L3 is better if you want to run more plugins at once & use the MPCe pads but the Force win when it come to using with 3.0 as it has more dedicated buttons & the screen matches the pads when in there in clip-matrix mode everything is twisted on the L3 if your using the top 16 buttons as clip/track buttons.

The L3 & Force both have the pad grid FX. The Force is better at too because it has full access to all 64 at once & it can take advantage of the drum pads being velocity & pressure sensitivity so you can assign vol & be able to turn the down/up vol by applying pressure almost turning the 64 pads to vol fader. The L3 only have 16 at once & the top buttons aren't v/p sensitive.

Unless there's something that the L3 can do that you really need, the Force can more than handle doing what you want & in many case in a better than the L3 & XL.

I need the 16 channels and the fast processor, the akai force cant handle everything more than 30 minute set, can i atleast launch clip rows from the step sequencer above while working the drums on the pads?

unless your entire set can be contained within a single project, the load time between new projects is still the chokepoint for using MPC as the sole device in your setup.

With disk-streaming it can handle more than 30 minutes & yes you can use 32 pads for Step-Seq & 32 pads for drums or 16 drums pad & 16 velocity selection pads.
