The best Beatbox on the market
A daw in a box. Synths, drums, samples and scope to record instruments. With disk streaming it's now unstoppable as there is no limit to audio tracks. I've had the machine for almost 3 years and it's great.
All-in-one Box of Fun
All the latest improvements and avail addons have made this such a versatile device - it encourages creative music making and i’m always amazed by my output and fun compared to using a PC/MAC based DAW
Great gear but mine may be faulty
I love this box and with the Akai Force 3.2 updated it is unbeatable in my opinion. All though they're a few bugs with the update.
The only thing is my unit seems to have an issue with the pads, from day one. They are not really responsive too light taps. Even after messing with the pad sensitivity the velocity jumps from very low to 127 with pretty much the same amount of pressure applied to the pads. It's really hard to play at a decent level. It's either to quite or to loud. No one else seems to have this problem that I can see.
Massive all-in-one device
If you are looking for many features conceived in a no-way compact form factor, the Force might be what you are looking for. The greatest takeaway from me would be the Ableton style manner of clip recording, launching and playback. Akai had treated the MPC/Force series well with periodically useful updates.
The best beast for live and studio !
