Akai succinctly describes its newest product as eliminating the lines between “contemporary music production solutions and next-generation DJ performance technology.” To achieve this, Force boasts a selection of advanced features including clip-launching, step sequencing, sampling, synth engines and tactile touch screen control.
The result is a device that offers an intuitive workflow and could easily become the centre of your performance toolkit. Force also integrates seamlessly with any Ableton Link compatible application or hardware device.
Other notable features include custom dual real-time time stretch algorithms, automatic BPM detection, an 8×8 clip matrix, onboard XYFX, cue assign controls, and an extensive preset library.
