The Akai Professional Force is a powerful, standalone music production and DJ performance system that functions as a DAW-like environment without needing a computer. It combines a clip-launching workflow, sampling capabilities, built-in synthesizers, and extensive connectivity for a versatile creative experience. Core Features

  • Standalone Operation: The Force is designed to be a self-contained unit, allowing for music creation, sequencing, and performance without a computer.
  • Performance Interface: It features a prominent 8x8 clip launch matrix with 64 RGB, velocity/pressure-sensitive pads for triggering clips/scenes, finger drumming, and playing notes.
  • Touchscreen Display: A 7-inch full-color capacitive multi-touch display serves as the central hub for navigation, sample editing, MIDI data manipulation, and applying XY effects.
  • Hands-on Controls: Eight touch-sensitive knobs with individual graphical OLED displays provide real-time feedback and control over various parameters, which can be custom-assigned for flexible workflow.
  • Built-in Instruments & Effects: It includes four powerful, fully-editable synth engines from AIR Music Technology (HypeTubeSynthBassline, and Electric) and a comprehensive suite of onboard effects (reverbs, delays, bit crushers, compressors, etc.).
  • Sampling & Looping: It offers deep sampling capabilities, including real-time time-stretching and pitch-shifting, automatic BPM detection, and MPC-style sample editing. A dedicated looper also allows for creative audio capture and manipulation.
