AKAI Professional FORCE – Standalone Music Production, MIDI Sequencer and DJ System with Synth Engines, MPC Sampling and Ableton Style Clip Launching

Classic - Classic - Classic, in a Morden style! The best standalone. I'm still learning it but this has increased my production like crazy! Akai surely couldn't tick all the boxes on this one (but, who does these days 😏). The way the machine communicates with the human touch, a friend of mine even made a joke to say "if Apple designed the exterior for the, it would be SMOOTH and STUNNING." It really could have gotten better with enough research, considering the features and the direction Akai was taking creating this.. But other than that, it's a MUST BUY! Producers and beat makers! get this one. The step sequencer, sampler, arranger, everything internal about this is just so perfect.You will still need a DAW for vocals trust me. Probably there's a cool way of recording vocals I haven't found, but the one I am using right now is a total failure. It's good for short > additional vocals on your production. Not a full vocal session.Akai. Please make a Midi keyboard for the force with at least 49 keys (I personally want 61). I am not buying the Mini MPK, 25 Keys just ain't for me. And the existing keyboards have knobs and faders we don't need if we own the FORCE. They expensive for what we don't need in the force. So please, make a separate Midi keyboard for the FORCE and we will buy it. Because I really need it.You can still play chords and notes with the pads, but I love creating melodies in Midi.May the FORCE be with you ladies and gentlemen. If you considering to buy this, look no further. Click "add to cart" and check out.

Wow! This amazed me from the start. I have been working on it for about 6 months now. I have to say, most enjoyable experience since vinyl turntables for making beats. This is close to the original Akai MPC. Didn't disappoint. Keep on creating

The main selling point is the 64 pads. Unlike with my MPC live 2 I dont have to use a midi keyboard because of the 64 pads. I feel like I can create a full song with the Force easily because of the clip launching- Ableton style. I also bought mine used in Amazon Warehouse but was surprised its still in pristine condition even though the previous owner left there recordings. I just did a full factory reset. I bought love my Force and Live 2.

Akai Force is a great music ideation, performance, and production unit. The concept is exactly what I’ve been looking for. Having a complete and portable MPC with no need for a laptop or computer is awesome! I look forward to future updates and improvements.

It was a good size, nice and thick. Though it was very difficult to stretch.

Si te gusta tocar en vivo y no usa una computadora, este es el equipo!

I love this machine is more than I ever expected! Force works good for what I do!

I have an MPC X and a lot of the functionality is the same for the most part. There is learning curve though in that muscle memory for the two are completely different but not hard to manage. The operating system eats more resources than the X and 2gigs of RAM is a little restrictive but if you know how to allocate then it’s cool. The pads and clip launching are what sells me on it. Nice addition.
