This video is exactly what I was looking for. Thanks Matthew.
Glad it was helpful!
cool tight integration with digitone mate!
Hey you helped me a lot with your video! Thanks! I like the force a lot but when it is in sync slave mode audio recording is not possible.
Great tutorial :-)
Thanks. 👍
Great video Mathew. Can you do a video on CV connection to external synths. Also tell us what’s The difference between the CV and Midi connections. Thanks.
good video. I can't get my force to send or receive any midi clock at all.
Very dope!!!
Thanks.
You’re welcome... Can you make a step by step video for people with the Force, That we could play along with you, more like a how to tutorial video?
Hey man first off thank you for these videos. Very very informative. I was wondering if you could help me understand something. I have a Digitone and a Digitact and I’m really loving them. My need right now is to find something that would allow me to actually arrange patterns into a song structure from those devices. I was hoping the Akai Force would allow me to do that by assigning patterns to a pad on the Force to trigger them in various orders. This video shows me how to change patterns by going into the menu and turning the dial to the next thing which is great but is there a way to actually trigger them in an arrange mode scenario? Thanks for your time and for the insight.
BOOM! Nice One! 😀 👊
I wish there was a way to include the midi program change inside of a midi CLIP, so we wouldn't have to do it manually by hand.
Would be amazing if I could just launch a new scene and have that automatically change the Digitone's pattern.
I only have so many hands. lol
Keep up the great work! 👏👏
Thanks! You can put a program change in a clip using the list editor. Push 'Clip" go to 'List' press 'insert' and select 'MIDI automation'. Select program change and pick a value from 0-127.
Matthew Stratton OH SNAP!!! 😀 Thanks, Bro! That sounds perfect!! Gotta try that out straight away! THANKS 🙏
Thanks for the great video Matthew!
I'm thinking about buying a force, but I still have some questions. Maybe you could answer some of them :-)
Does the force have a piano roll view for midi clips? I want to sequence some hardware synthesizers with the force but I'm not really sure how this would work. Especially for complex polyphonic melodies...
Thank you :-)
Ha ha ha Matt, you must have read my mind😂 guess what I was going to do today lol....yeah very helpful, I love digitone but it takes all my focus, so one of the reasons I looked at force was to do this...😉
😇Digitone is amazing. Syncing the Force with the Digitone allows you to use the Elektron sequencer, which is sure fun to use 😉
@@MatthewStratton It is awesome but this makes it easier in a live environment, because hats off to those dudes who rock digitone and digitakt live...its too much for me lol
@@MatthewStratton do u think is possible with novation mininova, too?
great video i have a problem how can i send akai force watch to sync an octatrack?
Matthew what about the other way round?
I haven't had any problem doing what you are showing here!
What about using the digis keyboard to play in midi triggers?
My bass station works fine it's a pain and slows down my work flow
can you please explain how to transform midi clip from digitone to audio track inside akai force?
I can add it to the list.
Can you set this up as a q control on the force?
Thank you for all your work on the force.
I am waiting untill Sample disk streaming is really a thing.
This will free up RAM, and make it able to host my livesets.
Do you have any idea how the updates are coming along ? Is it really confirmed that disk streaming WILL be a thing ?
This is s super late but disk streaming and the arranger are here. Newest updates are really a game changer and it’s a lot less expensive on reverb than it used to be
Great video! I had a question i was hoping you or someone else on here might be able to help me with. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Im trying to connect my JDXI to my akai force. I have all 4 tracks from the JDXI loaded as individual MIDI tracks on the force. The problem is that if i change the loaded program for one of the tracks, it changes the loaded program on all 4 tracks to different programs. Is there a way to change the loaded program on each individual track, without it changing the loaded programs of the other JDXI tracks? If that makes sense.... I know its probably a simple fix, but Im stumped at this point. thanks again in advance for the help
I ve heard there is some "problems" with the latency and sync of midi signals coming out ouf force. Can you say sth. abaut that??
What’s up brother I need a help to connect my Roland tr8s to my Akai force so I can transfer sounds from tr8s to Akai force 🙏
Matthew Stratton Akai Force firmware update 3.0.2 is out. it is on the akai pro force website. It has no patch notes or anything but it is there.
Update... It's splice integration
@@DJ_Kelpie ON IT! Thanks!
@@MatthewStratton by the way I love what you do man! Keep it up. I haven't had time to check out the patreon yet but I promise I will
Thanks man! I added an update to the first Tier on patreon to include a new kit with 808 sounds. I really want to provide value. I just installed the new update on the Force and am checking it out!
Thanks for the video. Ok you program change manually in a track. Can you make clips in that track that have asigned different program changes (patterns in the digitone)?
Yes. You can put a program change in a clip using the list editor. Push 'Clip" go to 'List' press 'insert' and select 'MIDI automation'. Select program change and pick a value from 0-127.
@@MatthewStratton Thanks. It is important. This way you can integrate patterns into scenes. Not manually
hi, maybe you can help me.. is possible sync akai force with beatstep pro but use the force like master?
Wow it does program change...?
Yes, the Force can. I do not see a way to change the bank yet though. So if you have something like the Blofeld with multiple banks, I'm not sure how to get to the different banks.
hey can i play the force from a Akai Midi Controller ,for Recording and live use ? (thanx for all the Videos )
You can use a USB or midi controller to play notes into the active track of the force. Be aware that you cannot use the cc encoders yet on a midi controller.
I think its worth mentioning that midi to TRS adapters/cables come in two versions - TYPE A and TYPE B.
Do you know which type is necessary for Akai Force ? ( I can't find this info online myself .... )
Have your figured out what cable ?
@@pierrefitch Yes - type A. :)
Syncing a Digitakt or a Novation Circuit to an Akai Force is no Problem. But I have an Akai MPC and I want to sync this device to my Akai Force. Do you know what settings the MPC needs to Sync and Start with the Akai Force?
Matthew, Can you do the same in the mpc live?
Yes. Just set up a MIDI track on the LIVE, set MIDI channel, and when you change the program on the MPC LIVE it will change the pattern in the Digitone.
hello, for each track of the digitone, can you assign a midi chan and program change?
From my memory program changes actually change the pattern on the Digitone. There are options in the MIDI settings to change the MIDI channel input on the DIgitone for each of the 4 sounds and it is flexible in that regards. There are only 2 audio outputs on the Digitone so you have to mix the sounds inside the digitone.
Hi, I'm also working out how to blend the Digitone and the MPC live in my liveset. But, following your explanation, it doesn't program change so rapidly, it waits for the next bar in the Digitone before changing. How did you get the timing to be so solid? Was it straight out of the box or did you had to squash some timings errors before making this video? What could be causing the issue? I read on the Elektron forums that the digitone is not working really well with PCH and that is has timing issues, just like mine. Yours seem to be syncing up quite well.
I didn't do anything special.
Interestingly, I could not get the Akai Force to either send/receive transport and clock with the Octatrack. The midi configurations in both devices seem okay to me but no luck. Not sure if anyone had this problem and solved it.
Sadly the program changes are not saved. You have to add the program change to the list editor.
Correct. 👍
Can I do this with the MPC live?
Yes. Just set up a MIDI track on the LIVE, set MIDI channel, and when you change the program on the MPC LIVE it will change the pattern in the Digitone.
Matthew Stratton I’m sorry I wasn’t clear. I want to set up the MPC live and the Force together
@@Ajonra Oh, so you can change the sequences on the MPC LIVE from the Akai Force? I am not sure. I will look into it. If so, it will be a game changer for me.
Matt, Make a video with the Live and force midi synced up.
sadly with 3.1 the MIDI menu looks much different and I cannot for the life of me get the digitone to work with midi now
“Plug this cable into the akai force”... errr, which socket, too fast to see and too small to read
Feel free to ask if you have a question. I plugged the MIDI cable into the "MIDI out" of the Akai Force.
man your videos are way to basic...you basically put effort on super useless explanations i.e: naming tracks, coloring tracks ect. You also show a simple Midi master/slave feature and show something interesting: program change BUT without mentioning how/if it's possible to write it down as a clip or automation in the grid. Your content is far from enough.
This video tittle is: Akai Force Midi Sync Out To Elektron Digitone. You are more than welcome to watch videos that are enough. Thank you.
