Akai Force Forum: Everything relating to the Akai Force, the new 64 pad, clip-based standalone sampler/groovebox from Akai. While not an MPC, it shares many similar software features to the MPC X/MPC Live including the same underlying code-base.

Hello,
Does your unit also blink exactly while pushing power button? Is it normal?



like about 2 sec into that clip.

2 secs? Isn’t that part of a default power on?? Lots of gear have “splash screens” Or am I misunderstanding something?

He's talking about the LCD blinking/flashing momentarily (as soon as the power button is pushed in) before you see the pad LED's come to life. @MB: yes - that is normal behavior. My current Force does this, and my Force I briefly owned pre-3.0.5 did it as well. Nothing to be concerned about.
