It depends on when you preordered. I preordered very early and received a shipping notice yesterday so there's a good chance I'll have it by this weekend.

Force is amazing. Spent 2 hours using Hype. 2k+ presets, it’s almost like a mini Omnisphere. Workflow is so good. Haven’t played with new FX yet.

This thing is super super deep. Way more hands on and less screen use than my MPC Live because the pads and shortcuts.

I like MPC Live built in sounds better but I plan to just move them to my SSD and put in the force.

Does the mpc software or other software daws see it as a controller?
What does the Ethernet connection do?
Can it send midi or audio via the Ethernet port?
Can you post the PDF user manual?
How does it work pushing other gear via Midi?
Does the usb send midi?
Can you map the knobs to other gear via midi?
What other things can you do with the fader?
Can you map the fader to the audio inputs?
