Akai FORCE

In Region View, you can also use Force's powerful tool to adjust the tempo of any sample to match your project's
tempo without changing the pitch.
To sync an audio clip to the project tempo:
1. Load the desired sample to an empty clip launch pad using the
Browser.
2. With the clip launch pad selected, open Clip View by pressing
Clip or by pressing Menu and tapping Clip Edit.
3. Tap Region to open Region View.
4. If your sample is already cut to a set number of bars and beats,
you can continue to the next step.
If your sample is not already evenly cut, you can use the Edit
Start and Edit End tools to isolate the section of the sample you
would like to use. Alternatively, use the scissors icon to cut the
audio.
5. Tap the Warp button to enable warping of the sample. This will
allow you to lengthen or shorten the selected clip region to the
desired loop length without changing the sample pitch.
6. To adjust the BPM of the sample, tap the Detect button to open
the Edit BPM window. From here, you can set the BPM in one of
three ways:
i. Press Detect to have Force analyze the BPM for you.
ii. Play the clip and use the Tap Tempo button to input the
BPM.
iii. Enter the BPM manually if you know it.
7. As the BPM of the sample is changed, the number of bars and
beats it covers will also change.
