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.

Hey just got my Akai Force. Plugged it in and it turned on right away which I thought was odd. I then went to shut it down later on and it shuts down then comes right back on. I've shut it down like 3 or 4 times, just keeps coming back on. It seems like the power button is "stuck" somehow but it seems fine.

You got a bum unit. Return it immediately and exchange it for a new one.
