New MidiFighters
New MidiFighters Posted on: 30.04.2011 by Gloria Lemmel So after reading the most recent blog post and watching the video, I'm really interested in these new Midi Fighters. I'm not going to lie, when I first saw the title, I got fairly upset because I had thought that the original Midi Fighter was getting replaced, in which case the $200 investment that I made a month ago would be out of date soon, but looking at these new standardized decked out MFs I'm excited to see what they can bring to the table. As soon as they come out I'm expecting a huge amount of reviews, so I'm excited about that. In terms of looks I really like the original 4x4 grid look, and hope that the original Midi Fighter isn't phased out after major production of these units comes, so if one of you DJTT guys is reading this, KEEP THE OLD MFs AVAILABLE!!!! Overall this blog post left me craving more information, and I hope it will come sooner than expected, but one thing that I thought was missing was new functionality. Just something more than the old MF can provide. I understand that the faders and knobs are a good addition, but what can the new MF provide me that I couldn't get from my old MF. That's really the question floating in my brain. I'm still extremely excited to see the full announcement next week, and will be sure to stay posted. If you guys have any thoughts on these new MFs be sure to let us all know, because I bet we're all just as interested as you are in this topic. | |

It will be going up for sure on wed so please check back then. Sorry again for the confusion and thank you for your passion for our products! |
| Tatum Ansaldo 16.05.2011 | It is getting frustrating. I've been waiting for the full novation twitch article for aaaaaaages and still nothing:

| Lizzette Greb 15.05.2011 | i just want a new midi fighter, i have been looking like every day and still no word? can you just give out a date you are believeing of making the announcement? |
| Kiyoko Wellisch 15.05.2011 | Well then formally announce the delays. |
| Tatum Ansaldo 15.05.2011 | flashflooder said they had a delay on parts delivery. I guess they want to release them on the day they make the full announcement. |
| Kiyoko Wellisch 15.05.2011 | @street knowledge- Completely right dude. Serious lack of professionalism on behalf on DJTT. If they want to be taken seriously as a business they have to act like a serious business. |
| Quiana Sedey 15.05.2011 | lol over TWO weeks later from the day we heard we would get new information within the week and no new information. Good job on deadlines guys! I, and any public rep for any major company would be terminated if I told a customer "I will get that info to you this week!" and just didnt follow up with them for over double your STATED deadine. DJTT needs to get their shit together. Let me know if you want to do it for you. 10+ years in sales, management and customer service. |

| Adolf Hit 10.05.2011 | We are just waiting on a few of the components, (they were supposed to be here this week) and perfecting the mappings then they will be ready to rock! |
| Danae Dumler 08.05.2011 | I just hope there are more DIY kits at a lower rate. In fact I'd like to get a kit without the midifighter - just the faceplate and buttons/sliders. |

Depending on the price I might be interested in upgrading! |
| Karry Sappington 06.05.2011 | Listen, a college broke, like me can't afford a 180 dollar worth box of only 16 arcade buttons. Ok many are making out of gamepads + 4 pots, bomes n loopbe. So the normal one should cost a little less or throw in 2 pots along the corners. And overseas shipping costs a bomb,15 dollars in India. |

| Melia Balvaneda 03.05.2011 | yeah prices im excpecting like 300 or 350?? i dunnno. im not expecting cheap, but just less than the custom ones now, because these new ones wont be made to order |
| Jami Nejad 02.05.2011 | Any price estimates on these babies? I really hope it's less than the $450 custom controller. |

| Marguerite Salsedo 02.05.2011 | Any word on cases of some sort for those of us with the (now old I guess) custom midi fighters? I love mine to death but man am I worried about taking it places without a casing of some kind. |
| Coreen Pankow 01.05.2011 | they call em midifighters for a reason you gotta have more than one... im already saving.. i <3 My Midifighter |
| robert chanda 01.05.2011 | Patience. All will be revealed. Oh, and new firmware feaures will pretty much always hit the Midifighter Classic first, so don't worry. We love them too. |
| Kiyoko Wellisch 01.05.2011 | Other than those so we can see the different styles. |

| Kiyoko Wellisch 30.04.2011 | Any pictures of the new ones? Also what's the knob quality like? The old custom ones didn't look al that nice (though I've never seen one in the flesh). |
| Gloria Lemmel 30.04.2011 | Lol I guess I didn't make my point clear enough. I know that the old MFs are going to be replaced, these are replacing the custom MFs or being sold alongside them, but with a more standardized feel. I guess everyone saw that I just wrote in caps not to get rid of the old MF. But like a few people said, an upgrade kit would most likely be extremely profitable for DJTT *cough...nudge* and these new ones look really great too. |
| Adolf Hit 30.04.2011 | I cant say too much more at this point but the 'classic' wont be going anywhere, we will keep selling and supporting the original MF. |
