The Force firmware is still being updated, its just run the same 3.9 OS like the MPC. The pro-pack didn't make the Force unnecessary as it still offers the best model for using the clip-matrix.


Crossed wires, I think - they were talking
about the Hakai Force mode.

But to answer your question it won't run on the Force. You can put Mockba firmware on your Force cause it will allow you to open more Plugin/Audio tracks like Hakai does.


Cheers. Shame though - I found Hakai easy to install on my Live, but haven't even been able to get a user account working to proceed with Mockba!

It might be me but you're not following the conversation bro. We are talking about an Hakai version that also contains the Force firmware not about the Akai Force hardware being obsolete..

edit: Ahh so you understand it now. than please ignore this post.
