It’s fairly simple to re-sample, though I am assuming when you say Drum Program or Keygroup, you mean a MIDI Clip that is playing a sequence of events that trigger said Drum Program or Keygroup, correct? Anyway, yes - you can add extra bars to a MIDI Clip to let a reverb tail ring out if you need to. It’s very similar to Ableton Live in that regard. You can do it in a MIDI Clip in the Matrix or do it in the Arranger, though you’ll need to leave room for your tail in the arranger.

How are people getting on with the update? I haven’t had a chance to try it yet myself. Dare I hope that it’s a big improvement?
It’s an awesome improvement IMHO.

Any recommendations for stands for the Force?
Hi all, silly question here from a new force owner. I just updated my Force to 3.1.2. I got a message saying that I should download the new plugins before i can use them. But I can’t figure out how to do that? Should I download them online somewhere?
Edit: found it, for other people struggling with this, see https://youtu.be/_oYcqSHCcGc
It’s under your Akai account - it’s the file called "MPC 2.10 / FORCE 3.1 Synth Content.
*Edit: oops - just saw that you figured it out.

May I ask, how do you connect the iPad and get audio into the Force? Via USB?
My iPad audio is connected to my Digitakt via USB, the Digitakt audio then goes into the Force via it’s 1/4 inch inputs. This way any audio coming into the Digitakt’s in’s, as well as the Digitakt’s audio, can go through the IPads programs and effects as well as be sampled/looped/effected by either the iPad or Digitakt (or both) before going into the Force.
I can also use the Forces’ second pair of outputs to route tracks through the Digitakt/iPad chain and back in. Lots of options.

Through the iPad headphone to the in of the force.
No, in and out of the iPad through the USB, using the Digitakt as an audio interface for the iPad, then out of the Digitakt’s 1/4 inch outs to the force. My model of iPad doesn’t have a 3.5mm audio out.
This also allows use of Digitakt’s overdrive/delay/reverb/compressor to the main signal out.

I purchased a usb-c hub for my iPad Pro with many connections including a headphone jack.
Yes, USB is the way to go if you own a DT/DN. Very flexible, and bi-directional
I don’t think “triggas” mentioned that he had a dt/dn he wanted to know how to get audio from his iPad into the force.
He also didn’t mentioned if his iPad has a headphone out 
The Digitakt certainly isn’t needed. If all you have is iPad and force, and assuming you can get audio out your iPad, you can sync them via Link and use apps on their own or with a host app such as AUM etc.
The strength of using an audio interface, as mentioned above, is biderctional audio flow, adding mic’s and external instruments, and midi sync.
Bluetooth midi from the force to the iPad and an audio cable (or lighting to audio adapter)for the audio.
I’ve experienced too many hiccups with Bluetooth midi to the Force whereas Link and physical midi have been spot on 100% of the time. Others may find Bluetooth more stable.
