Tutorial
This chapter describes how to get started doing basic tasks using your Force. We'll use one of Force's included Demo
projects to illustrate some of the most important concepts and features. To get the most out of this chapter, we
recommend reproducing each of the described steps.
Starting Up
Make sure you have connected your Force hardware to a power source using the included power adapter and powered
it on.
When you first power on your Force, you can select a demo project to help get you started, select Empty Project at the
bottom of the screen to load a blank template, or select User Template to load a saved custom template.
For this tutorial, tap the Deep House - Colors Demo project to load it.
Launching Clips
After loading the demo, Force will automatically open Matrix Mode. This display mode gives you an overview of your
project and mirrors the 8x8 layout of the clip launch pads. Use the cursor buttons to move the current view of the
matrix by one row or column at a time.
Each column in Matrix Mode represents a track. Tracks can be used to hold audio samples, drum kits, instrument
plugins and more. On the display, you will see tracks labeled Kick Loop, Top Loop, Fill and more.
Each track is made up of clips, which are short sequences of audio or MIDI. Only one clip in a track can play at a time.
Let's try playing with a few clips to see how they work.
