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.

Hi,
I'm scratching my head to Start/Stop/Record Live from the Force, or to properly sync the Force as a slave. I've tried everything to launch let say a Force clip in sync with a Live session... The control mode on the Force is working as intended, but is it possible to fully sync both machines ?
Thx for your help

For those interested, here's the recipe :
- Force is in MIDI mode (not Link)
- under Live's preferences, check only Akai Force MIDI in, uncheck MIDI out.
- compensante the delay (I've added 46ms)
- check the EXT control on the top left.
You're done. I guess my error was caused by a MIDI loopback.

OK, pretty good call.

Yeah, MIDI loops will get you if you don't bear the data flow in mind. Don't mind admitting that I've been tripped up by them before.

Well, once. After that, I got wise.
