Description Building upon success of the MPC X and MPC Live, the Akai Professional Force raises the bar of the standalone music production center by combining technology from the MPC with the workflow from the original Akai Ableton Push controller to create a completely new, cutting edge production / DJ performance hybrid, well suited for the beginner or professional producer and DJ.The Akai Force offers clip launching, step sequencing, sampling, onboard synthesizers, and a 7″ touch display. By combining must-have modern functionality with an ultra-intuitive workflow, the Force harnesses creativity for maximum expressive capability.The hardware interface is based around an 8×8 clip-launch matrix of 64 velocity-sensitive, RGB pads, a 7″ full-color touch-capacitive multitouch display, eight touch-sensitive knobs with graphical OLED displays, two audio inputs, four audio outputs, MIDI, and CV I/O, which combine to afford versatility and an unprecedented degree of creative freedom and expression, without being tethered to a computer.The Force offers a variety of ways to create. Producers will appreciate the multiple modes of operation including plugin tracks, MPC-style drum tracks, audio tracks, keygroup tracks, MIDI tracks, and CV tracks, while the performing artist will love the different ways to define performance clips and sculpt them via step sequencing, drum pad performances, and note data. If you are on your way to being a star musician, the Force has your back with the onboard grid editor, smartscales, chords, and progressions. Plus, the onboard arpeggiator not only generates standard arp patterns, but also includes a variety of rhythmic patterns that cover every type of genre to help you get going quickly and efficiently.Other advanced features include real-time pitch-shifting / time stretch and a comprehensive set of onboard effects by AIR Music Technology, including TubeSynth, Bassline, and Electric synth engines, as well as the flagship Hype, a preset macro-based synthesizer that combines several different synth engines into a single, easy-to-use package. What’s more, Force can record up to 8 stereo tracks.The Akai Pro Force ships with 16GB of onboard storage, which can be expanded by an optional, user-expandable 2.5″ SATA drive connector for SSD or HHD drives, as well as a full-sized SD card slot and two USB 3.0 slots for thumb drives or MIDI controllers. The Force comes preloaded with 10GB of sounds from industry-leading content providers including SampleTools by CR2, MSX Audio, and Sample Magic. The core library includes 248 kits, 16 demo projects, 2500 loops, and 500 patterns. The Akai Pro Force includes a power supply and USB cable.FEATURESStandalone – No Computer NeededFull-Color Multitouch Display: 7″64 Velocity-Sensitive Pads (8×8 Grid)8 Q-Link Encoders with OLED Displays6 Track Types for Audio, MIDI, CVAdvanced Performance Modes16GB of Storage with 10GB Content2 Mic/Inst/Line Inputs and 4 Outputs4 CV/Gate Outputs for Analog SynthesizerMIDI In/Out/Thru via 3.5mmSPECIFICATIONSKey SpecsSound GenerationDigital / Sample-BasedNumber of Pads64x Velocity-/Pressure-Sensitive RGB Backlit PadInternal MemoryRAM: 2 GB User Storage: 6 GB Factory Content: 10 GB Internal OS: 4 GBAudio I/O2x Combo XLR-1/4″ TRS Mic/Line Input 4x 1/4″ TRS Output (2 Stereo Pairs) 1x 1/4″ TRS Headphone OutputMIDI I/O1x 1/8″ / 3.5 mm TRS Input 1x 1/8″ / 3.5 mm TRS Output 1x 1/8″ / 3.5 mm TRS ThruUSB I/O2x USB-A (External Memory) 1x USB-B (Host Connection)Media/Memory Card SlotSingle Slot: SD/SDHC Sound GenerationDigital / Sample-BasedNumber of Pads64x Velocity-/Pressure-Sensitive RGB Backlit PadTransport ControlsYes: Record, Stop, PlayDisplay6.9″ / 17.6 cm Color LED Touchscreen (Backlit)Internal CPU1.8 GHz ARM Cortex A17 Quad-CoreAD/DA ConversionA/D: 32-Bit / 44.1 kHz D/A: 32-Bit / 44.1 kHzStandalone OperationYes SoundsNumber of Rhythm Pattern PresetsNoNumber of Song PresetsNoMaximum PolyphonyUnlimitedInternal MemoryRAM: 2 GB User Storage: 6 GB Factory Content: 10 GB Internal OS: 4 GBSampling FormatsAIFF, AKAI, WAVBuilt-In EffectsYesBuilt-In SpeakerNo Sequencing & RecordingSequencerPlayback & Features: Active Step, CVAudio Recording FormatsWAV MP3 MP3 ConnectivityAudio I/O2x Combo XLR-1/4″ TRS Mic/Line Input 4x 1/4″ TRS Output (2 Stereo Pairs) 1x 1/4″ TRS Headphone OutputHeadphone Output Power80 mW into 32 Ohms (1% THD)Trigger Device & Pedal InputsNoPhantom Power48 VDCMIDI I/O1x 1/8″ / 3.5 mm TRS Input 1x 1/8″ / 3.5 mm TRS Output 1x 1/8″ / 3.5 mm TRS ThruCV/Gate I/O4x 1/8″ / 3.5 mm CV/Gate OutputSync I/ONoNetwork I/O1x RJ45 Ethernet (Link)USB I/O2x USB-A (External Memory) 1x USB-B (Host Connection)Media/Memory Card SlotSingle Slot: SD/SDHCInternal Drive BaysNoWirelessBluetooth *Built-InBluetoothYes Audio PerformanceFrequency ResponseCombo XLR-1/4″ Mic Inputs: 20 Hz to 20 kHz 0/-0.1 dB Combo XLR-1/4″ Line Inputs: 20 Hz to 20 kHz 0/-0.1 dB 1/4″ Monitor Outputs: 20 Hz to 20 kHz 0/-0.2 dB 1/8″ / 3.5 mm Headphone Outputs: 20 Hz to 20 kHz 0/-0.2 dBI/O ImpedanceCombo XLR-1/4″ Line Inputs: 1 Megohm 1/4″ Monitor Outputs: 51 OhmMaximum Input LevelCombo XLR-1/4″ Line Inputs: 12.5 dBu Combo XLR-1/4″ Mic Inputs: 20 dBuMaximum Output Level1/4″ Monitor Outputs: 20 dBuDynamic RangeCombo XLR-1/4″ Mic Inputs: 111 dB Combo XLR-1/4″ Line Inputs: 111 dB 1/4″ Monitor Outputs: 114 dB (A Weighted) 1/8″ / 3.5 mm Headphone: 108 dB (A Weighted)SNRCombo XLR-1/4″ Mic Inputs: 111 dB Combo XLR-1/4″ Line Inputs: 111 dB CompatibilityOS CompatibilityWindows / macOSOS CompatibilityWindows macOSIncluded SoftwareNoMobile App CompatibleNoRequired HardwareUSB 2.0 PortInternet ConnectionRequired for Registration, Software/Driver Download PowerPower RequirementsAC/DC Power Adapter (Included)AC/DC Power Adapter19 VDC at 3.42 A, Center-Positive (Included) PhysicalColorBlackIncluded AccessoriesPower CordDimensions15.3 x 13.8 x 2.9″ / 389 x 350 x 72.5 mmWeight8.5 lb / 3.9 kg Packaging InfoPackage Weight12.43 lbBox Dimensions (LxWxH)18.7 x 18.7 x 5.7″
