    You can also use the Sub Mixes -- Shift + Mixer. And you can nudge notes from the step sequencer. Step Seq, then Clip, then change the TC to 'Off', then put the Clip in grid mode and select the notes, tap Nudge and turn the dial. If you use a TC like 1/32 or 1/64, just tap the next pad, that's the 'on the grid' nudge.

    I’m loving this workflow. I love the jazz, gospel, neo soul, and rnb progressions they have. The only con is that you can see what chords are. I know on the Mpc you can see the name of the chords and it helps whenever I’m going to lay down a bass line and/or melody so I know it works well.

    Hello, I would like to replace my computer (Logic with Macbook from late 2013 and lot of BUGS) for a Akai Force. If I use Ableton Live, could I work in linear mode for audio and midi like with Logic Pro. Is that process use a lot of CPU and RAM of the computer because I have a MacBook from late 2013 and it bugs a lot with Logic. After playing in controller mode with Ableton Live, could I continue my song in standalone mode without Using my computer? Thanks

      I really liked the Force but somethings like the way you play a scene didn't really make much sense and how you record into a clip. The workflow was a bit convoluted at times but I hope they can make a similar product with better ergonomics and workflow.

    • @digitaldiezel5870
      @digitaldiezel5870 4 года назад

      Ernie G. I did. But I was an Ableton/MPC Studio user before the Force, so I was already into using sessions and I did not like the lack of integration with my setup. But the Force allows me to build a song with MPC features and then do other stuff in Ableton to finalize it. Sometimes I just use Ableton as a sound sound source, or effects processor. Check out my page I made something quick when I first bought it.

      @iswiu2bl 4 года назад

      Hi, I understand that there is no arranger. My question is about the problem you mentioned on syncing with other machines. By other machines did you mean external gears MIDI synced? If that is, so was Force Clock master? Did you mean you felt the latency hence audio recording could not sync to begin with? Your answers will be very helpful...

    • @nanokbie
      @nanokbie 4 года назад +1

      Douglas Lee It’s not a latency question, it immediately stops recording, due to tempo changes in incoming midi, minute changes that are normal in the start. So no slave mode, only master clock sync (where the Force sends out midi clock)
