Beyond the controls on the Force, it proports to have an “Ableton Live-style” workflow, with clip launching, step sequencing, sampling, synths, time stretching, effects, and more. This is more like Akai has taken an APC and turned it into a standalone unit – as we first speculated when the FCC leak happened earlier this month. Yes, the MPC Live was a solid first foray, but it was more of a beat maker – not a full production platform unless you really love diving through menus. The Force aims to tackle this by applying the fun standalone power of digital production instruments like the Teenage Engineering OP1 and the Novation Circuit to a DAW workflow. Yes, there’s incredible power behind producing on a computer, but it also can be draining.

Here’s what we know so far about the Akai Pro Force. Today’s announcement from Akai aims to change all of that with their new Force, a “music production/DJ performance device.” We think it’s the closest thing yet to a truly computer-free production workflow we’ve seen. The move to standalone is real, but no one has been more under-served than producers who love their large pad control surfaces like the APC, Maschine, and Push.
