I invented the term X-Force, so I'm most definitely down for that. 3.0 was made for 64 pads. Now, that Akai added the clip-matrix to the MPCs & most people prefer it, more people would be joining you for tea if Akai starting serving gen² X-Force flavor tea.
I think most MPC only users don't realize how faster doing certain things on the Force can be over the new L3 & mostly even the XL. I try to make a video showing those benefits.
What's funny to me is people that say there no longer a need a new Force. OK, now that more MPC users are using more Force features a new versions of the device those features came from & still is better doing somethings, somehow would be appealing to this current market of Force & MPC users.
I know the Force is for everyone just like any MPC is for everyone, but if current Force is still around 6-7 years later & the features are more in demand today, why wouldn't Akai make a new model? I hope they let us know more at NAMM or on IG.
