Hello everyone, forgive me if I publish this post in both the Mpc and Force forums, but I would like some help on which of the two to buy! I like both Akai Force and Mpc One+! I've read a lot of things about the differences, here too I saw that there was a lot of talk about it.

I have been producing for years with computers and DAWs (Steinberg Cubase and various VSTs) and I think I won't change this thing because I'm happy with it and I know it well by now.
However, I would like to revive creativity and learn new approaches. I had tried Ableton Live, but unfortunately I don't have a good feeling. But I really like the issue of clips placed on a matrix.

What I'm looking for is a machine dedicated to performance and not so much production (for that I always have Cubase and my VSTs) that is fun to use but also profound.
I bought Circuit Tracks but it almost seems like a toy to me. I really like Force but I see that it is already 5 years old and I wonder if there is a new version coming out.
I've always admired the MPC galaxy, the large pads perfect for beatmaking, the sampler capability, etc... I recently discovered Force and it also seems very interesting.

Which one do I buy? (I can support the difference from soon)

Thank you all!

Would say the Force is better for performance, because of the clip launching and the 8 qlinks.

MPC va Force workflows for production are debatable, personally prefer the MPC, but I have a 4000 now. Used to have a Live and previous to that a Force.

I started out on the force in late 2019 and I just did not get it or gel with it. Back then there were very few videos on how to use it and nobody ever made a Force Bible *Cough* MPC-TUTOR*Cough*

So I ended up buying a MPC Live 1 and the MPC BIBLE and I understood it.... Once you learn the MPC the Force is 80%? the same. There is just much more info on MPCs

You can get Both a used MPC One and a Used Force for the Price of one Used Octatrack. It's not the worst to have both especially if you invest in all the extra plugins over time... most work on both machines.

I say start on MPC...But I could be a thick.
Perhaps there is much more info on the Force out there today...
