Force lacks song mode? Seriously? Wow.


Nope, you can export a project to ableton als or export the tracks as wavs. They said a song mode is coming though.

I hope Mpc Live/X gets midi clips like the force though.

I mean, standalone/software run the same engine, so why not make the software look as good, too.

Same engine, but all three OS have different GUI coding requirements: Touch Screen Linux for the Live and X, then OSX and Windows use different code for GUI as well. The underlying code that makes a flanger a flanger is coded cross platform, but the GUI's are all OS specific. They decided to release the thing with everything working then update the Wondows and OSX software version with the GUIs when it was ready. I'm OK with that. Better than waiting another month just so the controller software can look pretty.
