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.

the Akai Force listenes to Midi MMC commands once that feature "MMC input" is enabled in settings.
Midi MMC commands use the SysEx Midi format, but are part of the MIDI standard.

I can send MMC commands via bluetooth and the Akai reacts, but not in a useful manner.
