Reply to Awaiting my midi-fighter.. how to prepare?

Sup everyone,

I ordered my Midi-Fighter over a week ago and couldnt be more excited.
I plan to use this via Ableton, Battery, etc. May even invest in Traktor Pro as well.

I wanted to ask how the preparations are when handling the Midi-Fighter?

Is it as easy as plug in and play? Do I need to update firmware? Is there an app that comes with this controller? What else in addition do I need to before plugging it in besides unwrapping the unit?

Thanks for any assistance!
