還記得去年 Akai 推出相當受歡迎的 MPC Live 取樣取樣工作站嗎?現在 Akai 又將這個機種進化,變成功能更多樣且帶有 APC 控制項目的機器了,全新機種命名為 Force,是不是有點強大的感覺?
Akai Force 和 MPC Live 的取樣功能相當相似,但是最大不同的特點在於它的機器下方有 8x8 的打擊按鍵,可以當成相當好用的節奏機來使用,因此 Forece 這台機器的定位上,就是以取樣 + 節奏機為主要的訴求。Force 內建 MPC Software 2.3 及 16GB 的儲存空間,其中 10GB 的容量已經安裝了一些預設的取樣音色。Force 使用 USB 直接連接電腦的時候,可以當成控制器很輕鬆的直接和 Ableton Live 使用。
