The number of video effect transitions in the first minute of this video is straight up hysterical. Someone needs to tell them this is gonna make people throw up.
On full mixesā¦ Iām not sure, but it sounded quite interesting on single hitsā¦
It can absolutely be used and abused in an obnoxious way yea, and most likely will be. 
I donāt get all the hatingā¦ it is basically elektron for dummies.
My stance is all a decoy, I just want that āgiving you a whole new layer of creativityā thing to myself.

Yea. This hate is weird. People literally do the same thing with the OT crossfader and the OT gets labeled gods gift to performance samplingā¦

To be fair people had the same reaction about the TR8ās Scatter FX. Now the box is Internet forum legendary soā¦thereās that.
Itās not like peoples comments on this forum will make Akai change their mind and take the plug in off their website

Man you aināt lying. Most use shutter FXs in horrible ways. Just because you can use a feature doesnāt mean you should, especially if itās takes the soul out of the music.
Ironically the feature thatās supposed to bring the rhythm to life is also the the same feature that used to instantly kill the groove. It cool if used very lightly almost as if thereās minor glitches but not major enough to disrupt the rhythmā¦unless youāre nice like that.
The TR isnāt legendary because of the Scatter FX, thought itās way more customizable than it appears, plus you can bypass the Scatter FX but still send stuff to its 2 FXs. Dope!
Also, letās be clear the hate isnāt for the FX, it for how most people use it badly. Big difference.
Itās not hate, itās ribbing/piss-takingā¦ jumping to the presumption of hate, now thatās weird.

That flex beat can make some nice transitions, but itās a PITA to program.
I need more pads.
Major facepalm, but until just now I didnāt notice the force had a crossfader! How can it be programmed?
Iām using a mini message roller from Target & itās way better than leaving it flat, plus you can pull the cables thru the middle so wonāt constantly get tangled when moving the Force around.
PMS must suck 
Custom scenes with multiple parameters assigned to each scene.
You press edit+A/B side of the crossfader & assign what you want. Each side I hear can have up to 128 different parameters assign to them & their min/max values can be flipped - so some can to start low & go higher when moving left while some start high & get lower.
You also use MIDI learn & thereās 1 shortcut way to assign stuff, but I canāt remember.
Hereās a post on all the videos on the Force marcos I could find at the time awhile back:AKAI Force - #2656 by Poetic-Noise
