Akai Force in mint condition with plenty of addons
Beskrivelse av varen
Tilstand: Som ny – Ikke synlig brukt
I have owned this Akai Force since it was new. Used so little and infrequently that it still feels like new. I'm not a finger drummer, so all the pads are pretty much mint, only used to trigger samples and synths and to check the internal synth engines. The price is justified by the condition and the extras that come with this Force.
This Force goes with:
— Coverup Stand Akai Force (800kr at Thomann);
— Decksaver Akai Force (611kr at Thomann);
— Additional SSD 120 GB drive that installed inside. Can't remember the exact brand, but something with the best characteristics I found.
It also comes with the original power supply, a MIDI adapter and a quality fat blue USB cable for computer interactions.
These add-ons are pretty necessary to operate this apparatus. Since you need a good storage for streaming samples. And it's much more comfortable to operate the dispay when this unit is tilted a little (all ports remain accessible when placed on the stand). And all the time in the studio this instrument was covered by decksaver: literally zero problems with dust, light rays, humidity and so on.
Bought it to be the head of the studio to run everything live with or without a computer. Mated it with Ableton using Link over WiFi really smoothly. It's also a lot of fun to control some hardware from Akai's eight knobs, equipped by LED displays to show the current parameters. So you can adjust any MIDI message and operate without touching anything else. I know that it can also be used as a software controller, but I have never used it. Four analogue outputs (plus a stereo out for headphones) are great for sending 4-channel playback. The preamps sound wonderful for my taste: just clean and definitive. And, as you probably know, you can connect some mixers to extend the number of I/Os and even to process them right on mixer.
After a series of updates, the user interface is now lightning fast. And as you probably know, the Force is still under the care of the developers, who just continue to release new firmwares.
The only thing that I noticed was that the cover near of the one of LED display is with a micro-scratch on it. I have no idea how it got there, but it's not on the display itself, so I didn't notice it for a while.
I don't have the original box, but with all these features and add-ons, it's a bang for the buck.
