Akai Force Template Video by ED Miles

Sometimes I just want to watch a 15 minute video while I drink my morning coffee before work and don't have time to crack open the Dead Sea Scrolls/War and Peace-thick Force/MPC manual just to do some random reading.

Keep up the videos, Ed - they're appreciated!

I like manuals & even download some for gear I don't own, but I like video demos better. I like the Roland video manuals they have on YT for the MC707, TR8S which I own & the 404 mk2 which I don't own. I wish Akai would steal that video manual format from Roland like other Ideas they stole from them

Thanks.

I’ll keep making them.
Do you guys think or feel like anything is missing from the available videos?

Not just Force, but music production in general.
