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.

On the MPC live and ONE you can "Play Start" Which enables you to record on pad press so you land beat one and don't have to realign it afterwards.

Am I missing something? Does the Force have this feature and if it does how do I go about arming for "Play Start."

Would greatly appreciate any help with figuring this out. If it does not exist on the Force, can we please enable this by holding Play and pressing REC?

You can use the count-in, and any beats that you hit before the playhead starts moving are automatically assigned to beat 1.

I know this isn’t exactly what you asked but perhaps it’ll work for you.
