AKAI PROFESSIONAL ANNOUNCES FORCE FEATURE UPDATE 3.1 WITH NEW INSTRUMENTS AND EFFECTS, DISK STREAMING, USB AUDIO INTERFACE SUPPORT, AND MORE
FORCE 3.1 Feature Update introduces 3 new synth plugin instruments, 7 new plugin insert effects including a Vocal
Suite, Disk Streaming, Class Compliant USB Audio Interface Support, and many other major upgrades for new and
existing Force users.
New Instruments, Insert Effect Plugins, and AIR Vocal Suite
From the beginning, FORCE set a new bar for what standalone hardware music production could be. The FORCE 3.1
update builds on that precedent with 3 new plugin instruments: AIR Solina, AIR Mellotron, and WayOutWare’s Odyssey.
These new plugin instruments are faithful recreations of iconic synthesizer and keyboard instruments, now with
powerful graphic interfaces for visually striking feedback and interaction. Mellotron and Solina feature the Flavor effect
processing sections, enabling creative applications of additional texture and character to your sounds with Distortion,
Noise, Flutter, and more.
FORCE 3.1 also introduces 7 new plugin insert effects for creative arranging and performance, as well as mixing and
mastering. The versatile group of insert effects including Stutter, Half Speed, Granulator, Diffuser Delay, and Stereo Delay
will quickly insert an inventive spark into your tracks for unique drops, edits, and transitions. Diode Clipper will add grit
and distortion to any source while AIR Limiter will bring dynamic signal processing to your music for a punchy, finalised
mix.
The creativity doesn’t stop there as the new AIR Vocal Suite delivers the power to create, record, and mix the perfect
vocals right inside FORCE. The adaptive Vocal Tuner handles any tuning tasks from subtle pitch correction to the
modern auto vocal tuned sound found in all genres of modern music. AIR Doubler adds depth and dimension to solo or
group vocals with spectrum-filling width and presence. Finally, the AIR Harmonizer will transform any single voice into
4-part harmony instantly. Create full background vocal arrangements with ease and accuracy with built-in volume,

Now Streaming Superior Performance
The essence of the standalone experience is hardware that responds immediately to the needs of your dynamic
workflow. Users can now enjoy a more accessible and efficient workflow with the power of Disk Streaming from external
storage devices. Disk Streaming enables better system resource allocation and performance for expanded creativity
and performance. Record and playback longer audio tracks, perform an entire DJ set, or create larger keygroup programs all while enjoying faster project load times.
Major Workflow Enhancements, Engine Updates and Expandability
With the power of Disk Streaming comes added expandability. With FORCE 3.1, instantly expand your hardware
connectivity with Class Compliant USB Audio Interface Support. Route up to 32 audio inputs and outputs to-and-from
FORCE, all via a single USB cable. Increase your input count to record more tracks directly to FORCE, or route audio into
your favourite outboard gear.
Get more performance out of the drum and keygroup engines with the new portamento function for gliding notes and
percussion, like 808 kick drums. Dial-in the perfect sample shape with dedicated pitch envelope. Smooth out your drum
breaks and chops with Akai Sample Tail and access up to 10 drum pad effects including Ringmod, Bitcrush, Tubedrive,
Lowpass, and more.
Force 3.1 also ads new functionality to Buses (Submixes/Returns/Masters) for more control and creativity. Now the
Recording, Playback and Editing of automation follows the same workflow on buses as other tracks. Control submix and
master tracks with the “Select,” “Rename,” and “Clips” functions as well as dialing in automation on the fly.
Finally, Force 3.1 expands MIDI integration with the ability to load and export MIDI files to and from FORCE. For even more MIDI integration, assign your FORCE parameters to your 3rd party MIDI controller for additional tactical control.
