Akai Force

Pros

• Force is so cheap used for what it offers!
• the Akai Force is all that in one box, it has: - a clip launching workflow which is extremely immediate to put idea down and an arranger to build full songs with the option to export a mixdown, multitrack, clip as midi, clip as audio and...
• I recently jumped on the Force train and haven't regretted it since. Even paying €1000 for a new unit was definitely worth it for me... I am way more productive than I ever was on my DT2, which I sold shortly after acquiring the Force.
• Id recommend an Akai Force, its the most powerful groovebox on the market right now IMO. the sheer amount of features you get is...insane. it has an clip-launching workflow kinda like ableton, with an arranger view, 128 tracks max includ...
• I went from tracks to akai force and I absolutely love it

Cons

• Thinking about replacing my Akai force because working on it is so boring, lol.
