The Force is the most underrated piece of Hardware on the market, even after 3 years. Its the one of the best products Akai have ever made, and this is coming from an MPC historian who has been using MPC's for almost 30 years. I dumped my MPC Live II Retro immediately after getting this. I think it took Akai more than 2 years to actually understand what they had created and now only with 3.1 its finally being realised. Its not perfect...but I could not give this machine up for anything else on the market. Nothing touches it for what it does as an all in one. This video shows it in a brilliant light how versatile it is when an Artist gets hold of it. Its a special bit of kit. The only negative about it is that the CPU is a little slow when you have complexed sets loaded up...i'm sure the Force6 and the Force replacement if it ever comes will be superbly equipped and ill be first in the queue.
Absolutely second this. Ridiculously underrated, but it’s making a comeback. Both popularity-wise and price-wise! Dipped down to $1099 for a while, now it’s $1299 neck and neck with Live II. Excellent value either way
It’s seems to be abletob push integrated with a big screen, really cool…it’s got to be awesome for live set sample performance since you have a great visual reference as what’s you are pressing on?
Mesmerizingly brilliant! What a performance Youngr! Quite simply superb.I hope Akai get on to you,as you will shift serious units displaying this at music shows with your talents.Amazing multi tasking going on there.I've had the Akai Force for a couple of months,and this is the first time I have seen someone show off what the capabilities and possibilities of this hardware can do involving a musician,and a dj combined.
I swear I was thinking of selling this joint...until I saw this video!! Fire video!! Akai really needs to holler at you bro; you could single handedly sell thousands of these!!!!
This guy needs commission from the manufacturers Just finished saving up and bought a Roland fantom after seeing him playing Now I need an akai force LOL Really enjoyed the vid and music. What a talent
it's so funny to think the title of this video is "tries out the force update". man your talent and vibe is absolutely stratospheric you made my morning, thank you so much for sharing so inspiring.
I have watched a lot of your videos and I can honestly say that this jam by far is one of my top favorites just based on melody, vocal sample work and playing around with filters and tones 3:40 and on is just absolute killer. Keep up the brilliant work brother! Much love 👊🧡👍
Best performance I have seen on the force for a long time! Please do more content with it, u really know how to use it! Short question: Which note Settings do u use the most?
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 Awesome video of the standalone abilities this Beauty has.....I am building a home studio and had been contemplating with the Push 2 but this Akai Force.....Bruh!!! Major Kudos👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Hitting note and launch at same time will give you launch buttons on top of drum kit so you dont have to tap the screen to start recording. You can also just hit the record button i tink
super mega extra cool !!! The Akai, the whole studio and, most of all, the "job" you've done !! Great!! Art, Fun, know how, and all it takes it's there!
Thanks for sharing. Great performance. Using the Akai obviously allows one to play multiple "instruments" on his/her own, live. It's amazingly versatile. Reminds me when, in the old days, one could play the guitar (with hands) , harmonica (neck-mounted), and drums (with feet) and that was impressive, too; the Akai is certainly more complex and demanding than that, as there's so much more going on here. Very impressive, if that by itself is worth the effort required to master it!
Brother! I'm in California... I basically kinda run a solar setup, but I play guitar, and use the mpcx. (With a mx49) You got major energy bro!!! 👏 we damn near should link man , 🥶💯
That's pure dope! For me Force is an instrument and you are one of the best performer on Force! It seems so easy with you. It looks a bit chaotic at first than it shines, and we don't see where the melodic phrases come from! Very nice 💯💥🌈
The midi bass note extended seemed the hardest dexterity 😂. We need a pinch zoom and a lasso select tool (mult). This is such a different way than my normal flow. Been using my Zenbeats a lot and dig clip launching and clip based composing, considering the Roland MV but this just looks like something that would work better. Great job btw!
I am totally TOTALLY Impressed! With your skills, musicality, performance etc.etc.. I am gonna purchase one myself this week, and hope I will not get disappointed! One question..I see you struggle sometimes with the touchscreen, is it that bad?
i like how there's just like a minute and a half dead space in the music with him flipping frantically thru menus and then like 2 bass notes come in and a couple one shots lol
Awesome! Can you please explain how did you record real drums. U are the first person I have seen doing it! I saw few people recording songs in real time with acoustic instruments with the push 2. But so far u are the first suing acoustic instruments with the force! Awesome
Love the great work you are doing. As a bit of gear nerd i was thinking of adding an akai force to My ableton push2. But the big question i have is workflow, do you mainly record audio loops not midi loops. It seems akai is more geared towards standalone audio recording without needing a computer on stage. However how are you syncing midi clock with ableton software and your other outboard rhythm composers? You must have a multichannel midi interface right?
Mostly by ear, but then by memory after you get the hang of it. Plus, the purple buttons are the root note, so you can work it out from that very easily if you get lost
._.oh my man..I'd so much love to listen to your insane skills..doing industrial or dark techno on this top machine..would be a tooth brusher for sure! Go on crazy..hux._.

For me the one is better on price and has real midi inputs and the fx are lacking
@@SonicVibe The One is fine, but it can’t touch the Force feature for feature.
Absolutely second this. Ridiculously underrated, but it’s making a comeback. Both popularity-wise and price-wise! Dipped down to $1099 for a while, now it’s $1299 neck and neck with Live II. Excellent value either way
I think you just pushed me over the edge…]

Appreciate the kind words, Steve! Glad you enjoyed it!! 🤘🤘
you just got a new sub, this is the only thing resembling music I have seen created on a force. Sounds awesome!
I swear I was thinking of selling this joint...until I saw this video!! Fire video!! Akai really needs to holler at you bro; you could single handedly sell thousands of these!!!!
Came for the Force, stayed for the performance and great music. Thank you!
Bro you can help Akai sell thousands of units of this! Incredible performance!
Damn, son!!! That was freakin awesome!
Very appreciate of this two camera shot of your performance. I’m blown away by your live process and music.
This guy needs commission from the manufacturers
Just finished saving up and bought a Roland fantom after seeing him playing
Now I need an akai force LOL
Really enjoyed the vid and music. What a talent
This video just got Akai a new customer. Never had an MPC but this workflow sold me on the FORCE. SUBSCRIBED!
it's so funny to think the title of this video is "tries out the force update". man your talent and vibe is absolutely stratospheric you made my morning, thank you so much for sharing so inspiring.
And that's how it's done! Properly vibing, literally everything is bouncing 😆
Bruh that shit was sick! Good shit!!! I subscribed.... Lookin forward to seeing more!!!! I'm a beta tester and the FORCE is a monster.....
Yeahhh man! Thank you bro
Brilliant! Wicked performance and amazing machine!
I was worried there for a sec....then thos vox chords came in and BAM
fkn magic bro!
I have watched a lot of your videos and I can honestly say that this jam by far is one of my top favorites just based on melody, vocal sample work and playing around with filters and tones 3:40 and on is just absolute killer. Keep up the brilliant work brother! Much love 👊🧡👍
Groovin’ mane! First time seeing someone perform with this machine. On my list to get right now.
So unique, This is the reason why I love the Akai Force 🙏🏾
Best performance I have seen on the force for a long time! Please do more content with it, u really know how to use it! Short question: Which note Settings do u use the most?
Akai should hire you to sell it... You're all over it... :)
Awesome performance on the fly....
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 Awesome video of the standalone abilities this Beauty has.....I am building a home studio and had been contemplating with the Push 2 but this Akai Force.....Bruh!!! Major Kudos👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
well that's something you don't see everyday. your talent is astounding!
I find it incredible that despite the earthquake, the performance has not stopped.
this is fantastic, so well done
Love your track done on the akai force,really great work.
Solid work. Try using the knobs mode: screen, when editing plugin/ effects.
This was just perfect, man. Perfect.
Hitting note and launch at same time will give you launch buttons on top of drum kit so you dont have to tap the screen to start recording. You can also just hit the record button i tink
Endless possibilities ! Awesome thanks for the Jam #wsgz
super mega extra cool !!!
The Akai, the whole studio and, most of all, the "job" you've done !! Great!! Art, Fun, know how, and all it takes it's there!
is a real DJ... amazing
Impressed !
Amazing job mate💗

How spacy and funny play! Love it Dude!
Epic, feeling it!
Yeah man! Live ..!
How bloody amazing!!!

You got major energy bro!!! 👏 we damn near should link man ,
🥶💯
Sabe usar o equipamento. Muito bom gosto. Muita competência.
Brilliant performance, great tune
Nice job ! Since 3.1 mine keeps saving randomly and wrecking my flow. Really enjoyed this tune. Thanks.
Auto save can be turned off in your settings. Maybe that’s just got activated by the update somehow. Might be worth checking out.
Fantastic. Was hesitating to buy Force, but I certainly will try it after seeing this!
I don't know how you can perform so well on such a bouncy stand 😂😂
That was awesome super creative
That's pure dope! For me Force is an instrument and you are one of the best performer on Force! It seems so easy with you. It looks a bit chaotic at first than it shines, and we don't see where the melodic phrases come from! Very nice 💯💥🌈

Talented and gifted
Add to cart (Force), choose payment method, receiving tomorrow. This was the video I needed to finally hit the purchase button.
Haha 👌🏼👌🏼 you'll love it!
@@Youngr_Music that was short lived. Went to plug a mic in and shorted out the onboard sound card. Off it went back to Amazon
@@TrophyFish wowww that's brutal!
DAMN BRO..THIS IS FIRE FIRE.. FIREWORKS 🎆🎇🎇🎇 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
That was great!
Wow the comment right before mine (Johnny Welk)said exactly what I was going to say!
🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
LOL, That was freaking amazing... Thank you...
Tremendo, muy inspirador.
Love this, subscribed
5:39 just imagine if the touchscreen was iPad quality :) gets frustrating sometimes.
I know!! It is a bit annoying at times, but mainly when you're trying to perform something and do quick changes. Never annoys me in the studio
@@Youngr_Music use the lightest of touch and it glidessssss.
i like how there's just like a minute and a half dead space in the music with him flipping frantically thru menus and then like 2 bass notes come in and a couple one shots lol
underrated video.
Brilliant
Awesome! Can you please explain how did you record real drums. U are the first person I have seen doing it! I saw few people recording songs in real time with acoustic instruments with the push 2. But so far u are the first suing acoustic instruments with the force! Awesome
love this!
🙌
If I was wearing a hat right now, I’d be taking it off you right now sir ! = epic ! 🤙
Awsome bro what type of mike you using need to get one for my force 👍👍👍👍
Buena improvisación. Felicitaciones!
Good demo.
Mega !!
Does the vocal processor come with Akai force? what is it called ?, its beautiful! Fantastic performance.
Talent!
❤️
how could the Akai Force be used as a live looper/sampler (e.g. for improvised performance in a DJ set)?
You're a genius Youngr😱
Love the great work you are doing. As a bit of gear nerd i was thinking of adding an akai force to
My ableton push2. But the big question i have is workflow, do you mainly record audio loops not midi loops.

However how are you syncing midi clock with ableton software and your other outboard rhythm composers? You must have a multichannel midi interface right?
🙌🎶🙌
Masterclass :)
its crazy how fast he flipped everything into a track!
@youngr now i am convinced that i need that akai force :)
Wow🎶❤️🎶
This guy is pure lightning in a bottle.
I would love to know how to get started as an absolute beginner to this... anyone?
❤
Groovy
Love it
Could please provide reference of the mic you are using for the drums? thnk youuuu
Like the workflow. Good video. Have you considered the Novation Launch Control midi interface to add physical knobs and faders?
Yeah for sure. But for this video I wanted to only use the force. Thanks dude!
Please teach me how to do what you do I need this kind of peace in my life mate
Great !! respect :)
If you want to buy a daw, this is the best commercial for it
What a talent 🙂
great
“Rockin the desk” session
6:14 😃
Hi, I would like to buy the akai force but I don’t know how it works, can you create a video about it?
Forget Videos, just buy it and dont waste lifetime with RUclips, read the Manual and have fun with it
Time signatures? (eg 3 beats per bar)?
JAJAJAJAJAJAAA...Animo gentes con alegrias....enteraros bien de las cosas como son y van...
When playing the synth/keyboard melody parts on the Force pads who do you know what notes your playing.
Mostly by ear, but then by memory after you get the hang of it. Plus, the purple buttons are the root note, so you can work it out from that very easily if you get lost
._.oh my man..I'd so much love to listen to your insane skills..doing industrial or dark techno on this top machine..would be a tooth brusher for sure! Go on crazy..hux._.
