With the 3.0.5 firmware update, you can now take advantage of Arrange mode which features full linear sequencer. It uses an intuitive clip-centric workflow where you can combine MPC-style drums, audio tracks, keygroup tracks, midi tracks, cv tracks and more to form your palette of sounds to work with. It works as a powerful accompanying tool when performing live allowing you to control your audio, midi or even use built in plugins to manipulate your sounds. The Force has been designed to provide inspiration on the fly or in the studio where you can capture and lay down your ideas. Hook up a USB MIDI hub and access your synths, modules, effects, and modules all from the Force.

The Force also features MIDI Multi which allows you to control MIDI tracks for up to 32 devices via USB.

It'll easily form the backbone of any current performance setup or slot into your current system thanks to its ability to connect to multiple systems with midi ins and outs, Ableton link to connect to the powerful Ableton DAW, CV gate compatability and audio ins and outs to warp and modify your audio tracks.
