How to create a Kick and Bass on the Akai Force using the internal plugins and make them sound good

[@Expectaz]

If you like my sounds and presets, have a look at: impulsationsounds.gumroad.com/ Listen to my music: open.spotify.com/playlist/21GMiSfphXZEEEAlXQVljj?si=czxDbq9TR1C5WBAWlHyS6Q&pi=e-73vnoFYUQNiy

It's very interesting how you created the counterpoint from the baseline. Thanks genius

[@Expectaz]

Thanks for watching!!

The DrumSynth is one of the most slept on plugins. That kick was bangin', the snare was punchy & the percussion sounds are lively! I like mixing it with the TR8S. That ACB stuff ain't no joke. Great jam!

[@Expectaz]

Thanks!! The drum synth is indeed great! Would love to be able to change presets per clips though 😁

[@Harlem-Instrumental]

@@Expectaz Hell yeah, changing presets would be dope!

[@Expectaz]

@Harlem-Instrumental It would really open up the machine

[@Harlem-Instrumental]

@@Expectaz These are the things I want Akai to focus on. I would love to be able to use the pads to store common names for files & stuff. QOL improvements on a deep machine like the Force is key!

[@Expectaz]

@Harlem-Instrumental Would be great

[@Roadster303]

Great video. Good to see you demonstrating the problem with multi selecting notes - they can do better with that!

[@Expectaz]

Yeah I really struggled with that but I think I now found out how to multi select properly. If it works I’ll make a video on it

[@Jean-Mi_Paradis]

Awesome video! Owning the Force myself too, I did discover a few tricks here and there which will help me in my workflow. Have to say, your Force vidéos rock! Thanks so much for sharing. You have a new subscriber!

[@Expectaz]

@@Jean-Mi_Paradis Thanks a lot Jean! I’m also thinking of new tricks and things to do on the Force. Love to share it with the world

[@EnochLight]

Really enjoying your Force videos - such a fantastic machine!

[@Expectaz]

It sure is!

[@Abakhan]

Nice tutorial! Thanks!

Thanks you for watching!

Hello Expectaz, I really appreciate all your (Force) video’s and they of great help to me. I would like to ask if you (maybe one day) would like to do a video on creating a Techno Rumble with the Akai Force. I know there are many ways to do achieve this, but I would like to know what would be your preferred way of doing that with the Force?

[@Expectaz]

Great idea! It’s on my list 😁

[@sascha6841]

@@Expectaz Man, you are the best!

[@Expectaz]

There are indeed various ways to do it. I’m thinking of resource friendly options

[@drop7vogue]

I am considering to buy a model D clone, I am hesitate between an hardware solution like the Behringer unit or the mini D plug-in directly in the Force.... What would you recommend? I tried to emulate the mini D sound with the stock plug-ins but without success, of course 😁

[@Expectaz]

@@drop7vogue I do think the mini d plugin sounds great and you have the benefit of recalling sounds. The model D clone is probably a little better sound wise but you need to dial in the sound every new song. If you use it for one purpose, like bass for example that won’t matter. But it’s all about your preference: Convenience vs Sound. And as said the plugin does sound really good especially if you put some fx on it like distortion, flavor pro, delay l, reverbs

Editing the piano roll on the Forces touchscreen is horrible.. You've made a better track in 5 mins than could make in 5 days! :D

[@Expectaz]

Yeah this kills the workflow and I'm glad I've shown it. Maybe if you're watching... Akai??? Nevertheless I think I've found kind of a workaround of selecting notes. .If it works, I'll make a video about it :)

[@DJCJ999]

@@Expectaz Your channel is an amazing resource for producing on the Force.. there really isn't many people out there releasing fresh Force content so thanks! I hope Akai are listening to your channel! Re the touch screen.. It's great for everything but editing notes.. I was going to try out difference styluses to see if one helps.

[@Expectaz]

@DJCJ999 Would love to be able to edit notes a little faster. Or have parameter locks like on Elektron. Not sure if a stylus would work. Might try that too :)
