This right there is the MOST unique Force video ever made. There is not a single other person on CZcams using the Force like a 2-track deck and mixer with FX. NIIIIIICE
There are Start and Loop fields in Pad Edit screen which are always same. Can they be different?
Not sure what you mean?
Links to your socials don't work on your channel brother. What's a great way to connect w/ you? I'm a Force Performer down in South Texas! @ominousmusicstyle on all platforms!
Wow brother, this is very helpful. Thank you for taking the time to make this video.
15:10 LA Poly 4 is in Synth Big
10:23 Fm - Gm - Bb/D - Fm9 - Gm7 - Bbm/Db - C/E
Ballad 04: 23 (XY: X - horizontal from left to right; Y - vertical from bottom to top); Ballad 03: 43 (it's not Gm7 but Eb/G, correct manually); Ballad 04: 21; Ballad 03: 34 (add more voices manually) - 43; Ballad 04: 22 - 13.
6:40 what are those Track Presets? I don't see them in my [Akai Force] drive.
It's a user preset; you can create your own track presets
How about arpeggiating with a custom pattern ? Wie thsi solution we can just playback patters but they dojnt arpeggiate.
Can we also have custom Rhythms ?
Yes, just place the rhythm you want in the Arp Patterns folder. If you press the next key before releasing the first, the pattern won't reset; so you can create any type of rhythm, arpeggiated or sequential, have fun!
@@nicethings hm I tried that , it just keeps playing that pattern and not arpegiatted? hm
Patch phrasing is better than time stretch for stamping on BPMs?
At present, for certain things, yes...just make sure you have loads of slices if it's anything melodic, the more the better
What certain things?
Hey brotha! Your Akai Force videos are much appreciated.
Thank you for this.
Completed! czcams.com/video/yIhmbNNbMaI/video.html PEACEEEEE!!!!!
How did you get Bb root note? I see only sharps in root note (I can choose A# but anyway).
This is a old version of the firmware, quite a few changes since then. The latest is 3.3.0, and this uses sharps
❤✌️
Sorry my mistake the track was called Drop the mic ❤
Leeds Massive ❤
Remember seeing these in Leeds when they supported ice T at the Astoria Leeds..I always remember the guy had Wiz shaved into the back of his head..Been trying to find the track I think it’s called I try to understand..I had it on 12 inch white label from crash were he worked ..Top draw ❤✌️
my akai crashes after doing this, any ideas how to get custom patterns if this is the vibe
That's genuinely surprising, if you've done EXACTLY what I suggested. Make sure you don't move or delete any other factory folders or files. Best idea; menu > preferences > info - reset preferences. This will set everything back to default (as long as you haven't deleted factory files or folders), then try it again. You should only remove and replace the Arp Patterns folder, nothing else; this will make the OS recognise it as an area for arps. Hope that helps👍🏾
@@nicethings thanks bro. there was no arp patterns folder, so i made one, everything loaded into the arps no prob - but as soon as i used them the akai would freeze. i'll try again soon ! big up
Hi, How can I simply record what I'm currently playing? In Rec mode I can only record if I change "the launch Parts" Pls help me 😅 Greetings from Germany :)
As I'm unsure what you mean, I'll try to help based on the video and current info; you can record audio or other tracks directly into the arrange mode (shift + rec), there's no need to do it to clips. Make sure there's no play icon on the arrange track (press on icon to turn off), and you're good to go.
It definitely wasn't worth the money I just got mine a few days ago and was disappointed. It was nothing like it was promoted. Today I posted on the theory board page about how horrible the product was and the shipping. They deleted my comment and blocked me from the page. This product is not worth $799 and doesn't come with instructions. Its a waste of money and time.… to be short I just got it and im about to sell it online. 👎🏽
Yeah, I'll never do a Kickstarter again; bought it on the promise of midi in🥺
@@nicethings I waited two years to get this. Its nothing but a paperweight. Its good for making noise but not making music
If I may ask, why do you need to delete and create the folder again in the first place? Many thanks for you Force tutorials. I hope there's more to come!!
From what I discovered; deleting and replacing resets the preference in the code, seems to be fine after that
@@nicethings Thanks for your answer. And what wasn’t fine before that? I still don’t get it 😅
Yeah yeah🤜🏾
Great track, great video. Thanks
👏👏👏👏👏
Welcome back, brother 😉 Easy, boys
Thanks for the instrument clarification it was bugging me why instruments would not preview, but a shout to AKAI... The logic makes no sense, you would expect the Instruments Content button, contains instruments for you to use load and preview, instead they are shells....its just backwards, I have a lot of Roland Gear and when you press an instrument button, strangely enough it gives you...yep you guessed, an instruments to play!
Play the demo beat at 1.5x speed! Wow ❤
Guess who's back for more? Thanks and welcome back 👍
Good to see ya back groovin man
So lush ! I love the solo strings at the end
good on ya tom
Thanks! I realy love the Force even sometimes bugs drive me crazy... To newbees, for macros "project" section may be better. Because it stay on knob lcds constantly..
Welcome back! 👍
Is there a way to record indeterminate length loops instead of a set number of bars?
Not really, I think the idea is to set that after; as you can do this down to a tick. You can use the sampler instead, which uses time?
Does disk streaming allow more than 8 audio tracks?
Nah, but means you can load or change audio without using up memory; great for creating quick change backing tracks, in a single project, as an example.
@nicethings Yeah I've lost interest in this thing, I'll stuck with Bitwig until an actual true hardware DAW is invented.
Hey great video and good to see you back again👊 i found a litte work around for us mpc boys. The problem of the mpc freezing is because there is no midi clip save function. However if you are happy to spoof your mpc into force mode with a usb stick. It works perfectly. Follow toms instructions. Then boot it back into mpc mode again and you are good to go👍
I have the Live II and it has no midi clip save function as you mentioned. How do you put the MPC into force mode? and how to put it back in MPC mode also? Thanks in advance!!
All the info you need is in that link👍
Hey man, can you assign drums and samples to all 64 pads to play at the same time ? i was try bank A and bank B can't play sampling pad on hold at the same time, can you explained ? Thanks
Good question! In theory (and a lot of pre-planning) I guess you might be able to play all 128 pads from one press on a drum track; if a sim play action registers as a press? - haven't tried it, but don't think it does. Probably have more success using a track clip in toggle mode; add 128 events to that.
Peeeeaaace!!
OMFG... He's back!? Say it is so bro.... Great to see you either way and glad all is as well without words lol
How do I tell the Force to stream and not load into memory? I've recorded samples but in the project list they only show when Memory is active, not Stream. Thanks for so much great content. 🤙🏽😉
The easiest way; load all audio content to audio tracks first before using; this makes them automatically convert to streaming. You can remove or move them to other tracks e.g. drum tracks, and memory will stay low (and load quick!). If it already exists, go to project and press-hold to disk stream, turn off the memory tab and save. This project should only stream from now on. But use Audio track clips first, and you'll not have to worry about memory. Hope it helps! 👍🏾
@@nicethings It's those tiny things that slip by, right?! ✌🏽Holding down in the file name... who would've guessed. Really appreciate you man. Thank you. Been learning new stuff each time I go through the manual. And rewatching your stuff and Joe and Marcus Elbow. You've all been so helpful. Peace! ☮️
Nice one! I was wondering how to get velocity to affect the parts of a sample that play. Ya know? Different parts of the sample play when you get a different velocity. 😉
🥰👍👍👍👍
Hello, please tell me what the top line is for and how it is turned on, thank you
Hello friend, can you advise me how to use ARP on recorded chords on a track, I mean the track being played. Besides using a midi cable in, out?
Can't be done; as Arp is a pre not post effector. The only other way is to; go to edit in the grid view, on the track with the chords, then use convert to progression. This can now be used with Arp to re-record your notes in a new clip.
@@nicethings sorry i don't understand how😔
Yay! Tom is back with a great tip! Peeeeeace!
That Rocky Road jam at 42’ - awesome ! 👏👏🎶
🥰
welcome back!
Genial, muchas gracias. Solo tube que crear la carpeta y funciona 👏👏👏
