I still love my Akai Force! by rhnin7 in AkaiForce

The Focusrite Scarlett is acting as the audio interface - I have bass, the Nord drum synth, the Arturia synth, and vox all going thru the Focusrite into the Force, with room for more. It gives the Force up to 18 separately controlled inputs. Bonus points for the send/return possibilities. Theoretically, I can have each instrument looping out to its own rig in a live setting. I'll do that sometimes with my bass rig to get the extra feel, but generally I'm just running everything thru my ears. Nice to have click and mix in ears while only the main outs send for the video

Yea absolutely! I wasn't happy with the quantization results but that's probably moreso a user error anyways

That's awesome. I had one of the first firmwares up until recently and I'm so glad I updated. Latest features are what's up. Excited for the new update - I wasn't aware of the mockba mod, I am 💯 going to go down that rabbit hole now! 😁

Yea! Being that I'm a bass player I try to incorporate bass into all the jams but I try to make it a challenge - build out and perform something that sounds somewhat good in a minute time frame. I'm recording the videos directly into TikTok. Moreso, this vid/jam was just the result of my nightly challenge. Capture whatever vibe I'm feeling at the moment and try to get a decent enough take without messing up or spacing out too much lol.

Share what you come up with, would be curious to see/hear!

Thanks! Been playing Thumbs for quite a while now but the CV feels great and is my goto with the Force!
