Akai Force: Beginner's Workflow Tutorial Walkthrough

Edit: you can now download the project file for this and other tutorials, along with performances, by joining me on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/maxipokmusic A member of the Akai Force Facebook group said the other day that they would like to see a workflow breakdown for beginners, that covered the thought process behind the various decisions you have to make when creating a track. This is my attempt at making that video - it's not so much a technical tutorial, more of a walkthrough of how I go about constructing the beginnings of a track. I did this on the fly, and the resulting music isn't great, but hopefully the workflow tutorial will provide some insight for anyone starting out on the Force.
