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.

Is this normal? That’s ****!


It should not be maxed out... do you have other content loaded?


Nothing and no undo done.
Followed steps in the manual which should reduce RAM use when you get the first warning but number was the same. It actually went from 95% to 98% after the recommended steps.

Was your audio mp3 that you loaded in? Yes, you are able to load mp3’s and upon loading the source file is converted and that file size might be what is eating up your memory. What is the format of files you loaded in?

You didn’t provide enough detail so I’m guessing....

WAV files, only 1 bar length.

Each new audio clip eats 10% memory

I feel like there are details missing, pieces of this story missing.
Are you willing to share the project for troubleshooting? If not no biggie.

I have an X.

No details missing, every sample takes 10% RAM I tested and every time this is the case.
After 8 you get the warning.
Akai themselves also say 8 is the max so you got a little bit extra room and can do 10 before reaching 100% load but that means no drums or anything except the 10 samples.

Yeah something is weird.. on Force you can get up to 8 audio tracks, 8 plug-in instrument tracks, and 128 Drum, Keygroup, or MIDI program tracks to a project. A project can have a maximum of 128 total tracks. You certainly can have more than 10 clips of audio (not to be confused with audio tracks), even at 1 bar length.
