This is insane. Why don't I have a Force instead of Live?

Having all that right there in front of you instead of switching modes is really nice

I need to buy this thing right now. I don't understand why the Force is cheaper? Is it the lack of battery?

You can sell your Live and buy a Force . Problem solved

You'll be highly upset if you sell your Live. I suggest stackin up some bread and Buy the Force in conjunction with your Live. Two Different Workflows

I'm having so much fun with my Force now. I no longer regret selling my MPC Live (10 minute dracula laugh followed by a shot of scotch).

I really would like to get the force, but it doesnt load my Projects I made on the live, unfortunately. When they fix that i will pull the Trigger..

There's nothing really to fix there because the FORCE is not a MPC.

How stable is it?
Dosen't seem as buggy as the live,X and one!

Well, it loads all mpc programs, only thing missing is the midi data, should be doable...
At least when they merge the two firmwares..

Finish all the projects on your Live, back them up on your computer because you still have access to the MPC software after selling the Live, so you can always go back to your MPC projects when necessary. Then sell it and buy the Force.

It's probably not that hard for Akai to merge the firmware, but I bet that won't happen for commercial reasons.

If they merge them, they would basically eliminate any reason to have live, live 2, or one. It is doable, but will they do it.

@menco: yes, I am thinking about that already, but still not 100% sure..
Basically I only do music on the MPC, all project are in the MPC Format.
Some Years ago I basically lost everything Ihave made before on the Laptop, because thieves robbed my appartment, and I don’t want to start again from scratch..
There have been serious rumors about merging the Live/One/X firmware and the Force firmware some time ago, I will stay tuned.

Funny, how suddenly the Force came on my radar, I knew about it all the time but never spend a thought about it, except that it looks „a bit weird“.. The new fw came out, looked many youtube videos about it and now I am wondering why I haven’t bought it in the very beginning^^

If Akai would just fully MAP the AKAI FIRE, APC40 mkII, APC mini as a MIDI controller with the MPC. They would clear out a boat load of them. Plus it would allow MPC users to have the Advance 16 Levels.

+1000
but it would affect the Force sales ,so I don’t think Akai would ever implement it .

Yeah, but none of Akai Pro's Keyboards or Pad controller are full integrated with each other and this was before the Force came out. Some of them are mapped to the MPC SOFTWARE. Why not just move that mapping to the MPC's.
