Akai Force Standalone Music Production / DJ Performance System

Redefine your expectations. Force blurs the lines between contemporary music production solutionsand next-generation DJ performance technology, setting the precedence for a new industry standard. Fusing clip-launching, step sequencing, sampling, synth engines and tactile touch screen control into a standalone, performance-driven device, Force combines must-have modern functionality with an ultraintuitive workflow that harnesses your creativity for maximum expressive capability.

Multi-Touch Display
The heart of your Force experience. Launch Clips, browse your sounds, edit MIDI data, manipulate samples, apply XYFX, sculpt synth sounds and much more all from Force's 7-inch full color capacitive multi-touch display.

Matrix
Tactile control for an unrestricted creative flow. Trigger scenes/clips, step sequence, finger drum in MPC 16 Pad Mode and play note data with an expandable 8x8 clip launch matrix with radiant RGB backlighting.

Control
Discover new ways to enhance your performance via 360-degree rotary encoders with OLED feedback — smart assignments and multiple modes provide immediate real-time access to all core controls or link to any assignable parameter for a truly customized experience. Capture and playback any changes with real-time FX automation.

Command
Experience total control of your performance. Navigate your project, control clip/scene playback and access critical mix control (mute/solo/cue) right from the hardware with Force's ergonomically-positioned controls.

The Ins
Load your samples from either USB Thumb Drives or SD Cards — there's even a dedicated SATA drive bay for internal storage expansion. Capture audio with (2) XLR/1/4-inch combo inputs with phantom power, switchable to line/instrument level.

The Outs
Route your audio to two stereo 1/4-inch outputs, selectable per track within Force's UI. Use the headphone out as a cue bus to audition clips/scenes. Take control of your modular gear with four independent CV/ Gate outputs and unite your peripheral MIDI equipment courtesy of MIDI In/Out/Through ports.
