What do you want to rename them? I'll do all the work for ya since I need to do it to my own MF's anyways.
I didn't know this was even possible. Can you post the code so we can do it using the MIDI Fighter flash program? I have two midifighters and it drives me nuts that I can't easily use two different mappings for them and have it stick.

you compile, it generate a .HEX file, you use the uploader utility with this .HEX file to update the firmware.

12.04.2011		OK so I've read through all this source code. Problem is I have no idea what the frack any of it means. There's no obvious place where the MIDI Fighter can be renamed "MIDI Fighter 1" or whatever, though I'm guessing usb_descriptors.c might be where I should be looking? The code is well commented but that doesn't mean much when I don't know what any of it means. And for some strange reason I feel like I'm defusing a nuclear bomb here, like any wrong keystroke will make my MIDI Fighter explode and take my head with it. Anyway here's the best I'm coming up with; the following piece of code (comments included):

Code:
// Product descriptor string. This is a Unicode string containing the
// product's details in human readable form, and is read out upon request by
// the host when the appropriate string ID is requested, listed in the
// Device Descriptor.
//
USB_Descriptor_String_t PROGMEM ProductString =
{
    .Header                 = { .Size = USB_STRING_LEN(11),
                                .Type = DTYPE_String },
    .UnicodeString          = L"Midifighter"
};
So if I'm reading this correctly, I can just change the UnicodeString line to say:

Code:
    .UnicodeString          = L"Beerdrinker"
and I will now have a device called "Beerdrinker"?

Assuming it's that easy, the next question is what the heck do I do next? I've compiled programs before in unix once upon a time, I vaguely remember typing /.make in the directory where the makefile is, but I cant remember what happens after that. Does a new file appear that I can use to flash my midifighter?

11.04.2011		MIDI fighter source code is available... check the MIDI fighter thread, you'll also need to download few tools here and there.

10.04.2011		We've discussed this before and I don't believe you can. Well you can in Audi/Midi settings, but it doesn't stick in traktor.
