Today, after playing with some ideas for about 2 hrs, the force system has crashed. Blank screen then the message and an empty project ( I lost everything).

A question - did any of you have a similar problem with force or other akai tools? This is my first akai and I have it only for a month. As much as I like it, if the system was so unstable that would really suck - that would imply it’s not an instrument but just a nice tool to use for playing with ideas... certainly not for a live performance and hardly for a serious recording session.

Nothings perfect. Ableton live on my MacBook Pro would crash more often than once a month.

Saving more often would help your projects.
For live performance I agree anything software based is a risk.

2020 and you still can't beat two turntables and a mic.
