When is the next NAMM?

3312

this summer, dontā€™t know the date, last year it was aug 15
I just canā€™t believe we are going to go into 2026 with the same FrankenForce form factor, even if itā€™s not a mini canā€™t see them not refreshing that formfactor

wow, just looking it up there might not even be a summer nammā€¦ :frowning_face:
I hope that is not the case, that would be a bummer

I want a Force XL. The mini with 32 pads & battery would also be dope.

Iā€™m trying to imagine what a bigger Force would look like.

Would it fly?

Only if you knew how to use the power of the FORCE!

Two TILTABLE screens, two crossfaders (left/rigth-side), 128 pads w MPE, 32 in/outs, 16 knobs & a better layout for buttons on the left. Itā€™s too overcrowded for me. Iā€™ll let the pros figure out how to make it work.

God, Iā€™d settle for one tiltable screen. But Iā€™d love to see a mockup of your Force Fantasy.

One big screen that can be split sections on screen to be in multiple menus at once would be cool compromise. I would love to see that mock-up myself.

In previous versions you couldnā€™t map the mixer to an external MIDI controller, is it possible now?

3323

I donā€™t know. What parameters exactly are you trying to map?

3324

Solved! Now, Novation Launchcontrol xl + Force will be a killer combo for live PA

Yay we finally got a Mockba feature that shouldā€™ve been on the official OS. Iā€™m just happy we got it & all the other stuff! I canā€™t to have the free time to really go in on it. I remember you saying this. You most definitely got the Force on your side.

Havenā€™t used the Force or MPC since the updates, can anyone tell me if itā€™s possible to do either of the of the following.

  1. Send program change messages to a hardware synth to change a patch

OR

  1. Change the preset of a built-in synth or Drum Synth when changing clips (or next seq on MPC)?

Cheers

Yes to the first & no for the 2ndā€¦

Edited: I missed read the first one. It can do that.

Thanks :+1:

We can change the patch manually I suppose
