MIDI Fighter Users: How do you use your MIDI Fighters?
Posted on: 29.09.2012 by Leota Dolney
So I am believeing of getting a MIDI Fighter (or two). I have a Kontrol F1 for remix decks and was going to consider either another F1 or a MF3D for remix decks....possibly a MF Classic for FX. My main controller is an X1 with the F1 for remix decks. I may get an all-in-one and add a MF to the setup for some versatility, but then again, maybe not. My mixer is DN-X1700, so I don't NEED an all-in-one, just want one for easy portability and I figure a MIDI Fighter would complement either setup nicely...or I could forgo the all-in-one and get a couple of MIDI Fighters (I have limited budget...)

So, my question is, all you MIDI Fighter users, how do you use them? What is your setup? how many/what kind do you have? and what do you recommend?

Its really simple to use it to control the remix decks AND use another mapping like instant grat. There is a button on the side of the Midifighter 3D that switches it between HID and MIDI mode. Each of these modes are mapped out to either the remix decks or instant grat.

Super versatile piece of kit. Very happy with my purchase.
Thanks for the info...that is very handy to know...I already have an F1 and I love it...I am pondering either a MF3D or a 2nd F1...this makes the MF3D a bit more versatile and deserving of a bit more consideration....

I am believeing of this kind of thing inside of Traktor with a remix deck (16 buttons = 16 pads for sounds)...kinda like playing it as an MPC/drum machine. My F1 can handle the other remix deck for more basic loops and layering of stems etc.

But I also wondered about a MFC for just playing FX (instant grat)...

I made MF with twelve buttons just for Grats and mapped unit selector on my keyboard since leak of four arcade buttons. But now I use it a little different... There is one shift button that disable all current commands and turn other eleven buttons in to active mode selectors for transport, ploop and instant effects.

MFC mapped for instant gratification. I was using it for transport and cue control before I got my vci, but now I just use it for instant effects. At this point, it may as just have two buttons labled "reverb" and "delay" lol

My MF classic is used for beat jumps and tempo bending mainly.

I found that I liked to have beat jumps on arcade buttons better than on rotary encoders..

I've never tried using my MF3D for remix decks, but it is a great controller to use effects very expressively. I use it for effects and I sometimes use it in ableton with the sound packs!

If I get a MF, it will do one of two things: 1) get a MF3D to control remix deck to "play" it like MPC-style to trigger one-shots etc. and keep my F1 for loops etc or 2) get a MFC to control FX (e.g., instant grat) and/or play hotcues (e.g., deckalize)...
not sure which way I'll go....
