Awaiting my midi-fighter.. how to prepare?
Awaiting my midi-fighter.. how to prepare? Posted on: 21.07.2010 by Ja Winger 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! | |

C) An app? No you don't get software with the MF, why should you need some? D) Just unwrap the package, build your controller LEGO-style, and then plugin the usb cable to your PC and of you go! Now make waiting even harder by watching these great vid's [ame]http://www.google.nl/search?hl=nl&client=firefox-a&hs=TIZ&rls=org.mozilla%3Anl%3Aofficial&tbs=vid%3 A1&q=midi+fighter+youtube&btnG=Zoeken&aq=f&aqi=&aq l=&oq=&gs_rfai=[/ame] ENJOY |

| Lynetta Piacentino 22.07.2010 | To make your waiting time even worse; I've played again yesterday with it and it's really amazing! Very cool and responsive buttons. Using it in Traktor with an ultra-fine tuned grid it is even awesome with sync on. A great big-boys toy! |
