New to the Akai Force, preparing myself for what to buy.

Added a 256GB SSD to the Force, and a 128GB SD card.

I will keep my projects on the SD, while my new instruments and FX's as well as my samples go to the SSD and in their own folders.

I have played with the Force for some hours now, and more and more I'm falling in love with this machine!!!!

It is not as powerful as a full blown music PC, but the workflow is lovely. I also like the fact it is dead silent.

The manual is written more than OK, and is really helpful. |But most of all the OS and GUI make it easy to work with. Most of the thing I want to do speak for them self.

I would save each project on both the SSD & SD.

I have this folder on my M2 drive on my music PC were I keep daily backups from my "creations".

I have my Force connected by USB constantly to my PC.

I only have a small SSD, 256GB, in my Force for now, maybe later, I expand to 1TB too.

In that case nevermind what I suggested, but 256GB isn't a small drive for the Force. Mines came used with a 1TB in it back in 2021 & I still haven't used any amount of memory.

Sorry, it wasn’t meant to put up my middle finger……….

No need to apologize. I didn't know you kept your Force hooked up to PC via USB & saved on your PC. As long as your making backups it doesn't matter. I was just letting you as someone that used the device for a longer time that 256GBs alot of memory for most users.

Bought myself a Decksaver dustcover for the Akai Force!

I wish they would make 1 for the MPC1k.

My Force ain’t gonna leave my home, so I keep it as it is………

I really did that because of the start up screen blinding me at night & at the time the lights from the Force was reflecting onto the TV screen when I had the Force on but was using it or was watching something for samples or whatever. I could've also used a shirt but this looked cooler.
