Akai Force - importing Abelton projects

 Importing and exporting abelton project files is a great feature in the AKAI force.

This is new in firmware 3.0.5

Firstly , the Force itself does have some limitations.

Up to 8 audio tracks, 8 plug-in instrument tracks, and 128 Drum, Keygroup, or MIDI program tracks may be added to a project. 

A project can have a maximum of 128 total tracks.

 

Importing abelton into the Force

You will need to first "save and collect all".

You can now import the ALS (Abelton Live Set) file to the Force and it’ll load the Session View & Arranger View with all audio and MIDI files.

 

It won’t import any third-party VSTs.

In this case you’ll have to bounce the tracks to audio before you export.

 

Abelton's  Impulse, Drum Racks, Simpler and Sampler instruments are compatible with the force.

 

Abelton's Impulse & Drum Racks looks like they are a great way to import your own custom drum racks into force.
