Help me choose my midifighter!
Posted on: 17.01.2011 by Tatum Ansaldo
Right, the gearfreak in me has won out over the money worries, so I'm going to buy a midifighter. I need help with my configuration! I'm loving the deckalized mapping so I'll probably go with something similar to ean's, like this



Any better ideas? I know there are some ultra creative people on here so I wanted to ask before I made the plunge!

The whole thing (minus the extra buttons) works out at $190 or about

125, the custom includes custom faceplate and additional controls. Switching button cores is easy, I don't have a single regular button on my 2 MFs.

Exactly this



with an extra 3 red, 3 black and 1 white buttons for flexibility.

Oh, and a play/pause tee of course, I couldn't resist since I was already paying for shipping...

And as I mentioned before, we are clearly brothers from other mothers. If I am ever in southern cali, I will drop you a line for sure!

I'm very non-creative with stuff like that, but it's usually because whenever I buy gear it comes looking pretty good already! Although I would love to get my hands on some white X1's (<- shopoholic!)

Update: a very quick photoshop... I love it, ordering now

Just to update, finally arrived this morning after sitting in spanish customs for what seemed like an age (no import tax though )

Just built it sitting at my desk while pretending to be doing something useful and can't wait to get it home!

let me know how it goes!
Leeanna Ayla
17.01.2011
Actually it hasn't really yet because I haven't dome much mapping with it. I'm going to mainly use it for FX I believe.
Tatum Ansaldo
17.01.2011
ah gotcha, nice and easy then! How are you liking the MF? I know you only got it recently and as a former VCI-100 and current X1 owner I believe you're probably the best qualified for me to ask how it's improved your performance!
Leeanna Ayla
17.01.2011
Yeah I show a flash of how I did it in the video

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X96SmgPI21c

I would recommend the matte top over the clear. I got the clear, but believe the matte will diffuse the light better for a pretty cool effect.

oh very nice! I take it that was a DIY thing?

yeh good idea on the buttons, what do you mean by switching the housings round chris?
Leeanna Ayla
17.01.2011
I like that. Think about switching the housings around like I did. Maybe order some extra buttons to use different colors together.
