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.

Oh hell nah you're not going to blame your gear lust on me.lol
I see how you tried to make me the hype man but you're the one that wants it haahahaaa lol
For real l can't deal with pads like that and lm definitely not an Ableton man.

Yeah for you is perfect.
You are lucky, they exactly make your workflow on a box.



Indeed it is and the whole integration with Ableton as in controlling it and opening up force trax in it, is just that whip cream icing :-D
Didn't know Perfect Circuit had them in stock, there closer now that they have moved to Burbank CA, hellava shop if you haven't been there you should definitely stop by if your in the So.Cal area....
Flip side knowing Akai I'm sure it's gonna be a bit buggy at first, should I pull the trigger now or wait for the smoke to clear?

Yo I can't front, Akai did their thing on that machine, nice vid! Now I see what they were working on. The levels window look dope I hope we get some thing like that in 2.4 with the Live/X.
I wonder how many Push users are going to jump ship? :hmmm: :lol: If this thing had Pads like my MPC Live, I ain't going to lie I would sell the Live and get this.
From what I'm hearing the Force sold out in stores? Dammmmmmmmmmmmmm! smh


That's a sales/marketing video for their online store. Those dudes think they're slick!! :lol: Where are the independent music publications reviews? Where are the real users? All these videos are of people who, had the machine for months. :lol:

I want to see the unboxing videos and real user generated content. No company staff. No store outlets selling pre-orders. No sponsored videos. No fake accounts, pretending to be real users. :lol:[/quote]

Yes, but it's still a Sales/Marketing video for an online store. Hard to post an unbiased opinion, on gear you're trying to sale to someone. It's best to let the company do all the promotions. It's like having a giveaway and letting your family members enter. :lol:

Perhaps in the next week, well have some real user reviews and overviews of The Force. The truth is I just want to read the Full User Manual. :nod:

That's not an online store, it's a regular dude in Japan: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCXB6tw ... 7UVyM7df0g

His link to buy is just to Rakutan. Rakutan isn't his store, it's like the Japanese Amazon.
