MIDI Fighter Spectra Posted on: 14.01.2013 by Pearly Revely At least now we know the name. Commence gearlust. Courtesy of Prefuse 73 on IG. MOD EDIT: Originally Posted by midifidler Hey just a note for all you you who have brought a Spectra. Today I noticed a small software bug which affects some (~20%)units, the symptom is that when upgrading the firmware instead of going into boot-loader mode the device just resets. I have released a firmware update which fixes this on all units, once you update your Spectra with this code the firmware update will work without any issue. To do this ... Connect your Spectra, start the utility, click update firmware, when you see the Spectra display its start up pattern pull out the USB, hold the four corner arcade buttons and connect the USB again. The device should now show the blue boot-loader pattern and the utility will continue the update process.

Adolf Hit 17.01.2013	cool - feel free to pm if you want any more advice
Dick Korus 17.01.2013	Originally Posted by midifidler one way would be to use a touch screen https://www.sparkfun.com/products/8977 It is pretty simple to interface one of these to an arduino. Thanks a lot! Good and cheap! ill be sure to post pictures when I get around to the build process

Dick Korus 18.01.2013	If they don't build an xy controller and if anyone could let me know what kind of parts and such I would need to purchase (I haven't found a nice xy pad for sale), and could coach me through the build that would be very helpful. I'm interested in building a prototype
Kellie Myrum 16.01.2013	Originally Posted by padi_04 Personally, I believe the MF3D will take the place of the Classic and they won't restrict themselves to a facelift. This is my thought as well. Or at least it would be most logic to expect.
Nedra Fresneda 16.01.2013	Personally, I believe the MF3D will take the place of the Classic and they won't restrict themselves to a facelift. Button grid + XY pad is a really expressive combo without the need of waving gear around (I use Maschine + iPad to achieve this) Disclaimer: I don't have any inside info, just speculating and giving my personal opinion.
Valeri Millstein 16.01.2013	XY Pad would be legit... Cool name though!
Libbie Orion 16.01.2013	Originally Posted by Stewe Like ability to program buttons combination that triggers an extra note? yes but it would have to be different then it currently is for the MF3D. And since i just saw this reply Originally Posted by Xtian317 You guys are on the right track, but don't get too crazy with your expectations. Don't forget, it's replacing the MF Classic not the Pro or 3D. I can see that this may exactly be the new deal (part of it) because if you set each one of the Fighters in a stage or level of release MF3D would be the highest or latest level The SPECTRA i guess would have to be a lower model then the 3D and a higher one than its predecessor Im really anxious to see what its about
Valery Ellick 16.01.2013	Originally Posted by dubyou I'm believeing basically an f1 without all the extra buttons, but that can go hid and midi at the same time. I dunno It seems like an awesome controller idea, You guys are on the right track, but don't get too crazy with your expectations. Don't forget, it's replacing the MF Classic not the Pro or 3D.
Teresia Janusch 16.01.2013	zx spectrum?
Kellie Myrum 16.01.2013	Originally Posted by antifmradio motorized no but automation that is programmable i would say Much like the combo effects however it would also include fader adjustments Like ability to program buttons combination that triggers an extra note?
Libbie Orion 16.01.2013	Originally Posted by tekki You mean like motorized faders and rotary encoders? motorized no but automation that is programmable i would say Much like the combo effects however it would also include fader adjustments
Random X 16.01.2013	Originally Posted by antifmradio i was believeing more on the lines of this From WIKI: So still on the lines of customization but im guessing more automation is involved in this one too? You mean like motorized faders and rotary encoders?
Random X 16.01.2013	Maybe add a little bit of this to the sides:
Cristian Carmona 15.01.2013	Midi Fighter SpecOps would be dope.
Libbie Orion 15.01.2013	i was believeing more on the lines of this From WIKI: Spectra (singular spectrum) are conditions or values that vary over a continuum. So still on the lines of customization but im guessing more automation is involved in this one too?
Kellie Myrum 15.01.2013	I believe calling it spectra have accent on customization of the unit to costumer's design but we'll see soon enough. Would be cool feature.
Dick Korus 15.01.2013	Originally Posted by padi_04 This makes a lot of sense, basically since the pad would be showing a color range as you move or spectrum If they make it, they'll have my money, If not, I'm deffinatly goint to attempt to make one
Nedra Fresneda 15.01.2013	Originally Posted by dubyou a large xy pad with a full range of colors. Something like this would be cool too This makes a lot of sense, basically since the pad would be showing a color range as you move or spectrum
Dick Korus 15.01.2013	4 arcade bank buttons, some sort of transport control for fx, a large xy pad with a full range of colors. Something like this would be cool too
Meg Reinoehl 15.01.2013	Given what the MF3D's capabilities were in relation to the name of the controller, what hints can we draw from the name MIDI Fighter Spectra? I'm believeing that there's some level of functionality that would make the DJTT folks want to name it Spectra, specifically. As much as I'd like an F1-like MF, that name doesn't quite fit with simply adding on more hardware features. I'm believeing there's going to be a pretty high level of customization either on the hardware side of things (a better customizable MF Pro) or some new firmware for the hardware (whatever it looks like) that really lets you get down and dirty with MIDI parameters.
Dick Korus 15.01.2013	Originally Posted by antifmradio then wouldnt you want the buttons on the top, below the faders to select MIDI - on / Off HID - on / off Midi + HID - on / Off Also what id you wanted to use some additional deck controls (Shift \| Flux \| Delete \| Sample ) things like that? I feel like either way would be nice, but wouldn't want the top to get too cluttered up. I also believe that it would be good for one or the other, used as a remix deck controller OR used for fx or deck controls. But we'll see!!

Dick Korus 15.01.2013	Originally Posted by antifmradio so basically an F1 controller with all its current buttons + shift buttons on the sides yea id like that I'm believeing basically an f1 without all the extra buttons, but that can go hid and midi at the same time. I dunno It seems like an awesome controller idea,
Libbie Orion 15.01.2013	Originally Posted by dubyou I'm calling rgb with 4 super line faders, 4 knobs across the top row with 4 bank buttons, and all the side buttons like the 3d. I'm believeing it will have the faders for volume control on remix decks. Knobs for filter and is a new kind of remix deck controller. so basically an F1 controller with all its current buttons + shift buttons on the sides yea id like that
Libbie Orion 15.01.2013	Originally Posted by dubyou Watch it be a complete gimmick like a giant joystick in the middle lol LOL i actually had a discussion with Beabryte about that exact topic and build lol
Dick Korus 15.01.2013	Watch it be a complete gimmick like a giant joystick in the middle lol
Kellie Myrum 15.01.2013	Originally Posted by Swift This was made by a fellow DJTT member, possibly something like this would be what your talking about. This is cool unit, although I don't believe it support remix deck HID firmware.

Libbie Orion 14.01.2013	would be nice if there were knobbs like across the top of the S4 that light up when an effect is ON and you can adjust it either by TILT of twist of the knobb. Also a mapping to LOCK ON that effect to free your hands crap, im brainstorming now and im leaking out all my good ideas i need to keep this and do a mapping instead lol
Kellie Myrum 14.01.2013	Either way I'd like to see more knob inputs on Spectra and a increased number of superfaders
Tatum Ansaldo 14.01.2013	Also seems like a hell of a lot of work... DJTT are trying to sell large numbers of units these days rather than batches of a couple of hundred like they did 2 years ago, I doubt that individually machined and soldered products are how they see their expansion continuing. I may be wrong though!
Pearly Revely 14.01.2013	Originally Posted by Stewe Possibility to design your own layout? Seems like a distinct possibility.
