So I’m assuming this means we’ll be able to purchase a midi fighter soon? That alone is worthy of a blog post, and i love the shirt too.

oh hell yes.

I know I’m being lazy on this one but do you know off the top of your head if the knobs and faders fit on an Akai APC40 by any chance?! Thanks!

Ahh yeah!

My Arcade buttons are already Fluro green!

BONUS!!!! Thanks Ean!

Just placed my order for the knobs and fader caps!

I saw these on Ean’s Vci at Lovefest and MELTED. He whipped out his VCI and I was like whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat are those, I didn’t think they’d be available so soon. So cool, DJTT needs to get more colors! Ean are there any tactile differences, is it easier/harder than the old knobs?

Great News, and I can’t wait for the new stuff (like the Midi-Fighter).

And When are you gonna get more silver Press Play Stickers and high quality USB cords

ugh, makes me want my own vci even more! Would definitely rock the green ones

Amen. LOL

Arcade bottons, here I come!

oh that green ..crew name is GreenTeam Djs..when i get a day job definitely gona cop that green arcade vci…

that tshirt is RAD

[quote comment=""]that tshirt is RAD[/quote]
cool

i’d like to see 2 products

first a black ( blank )DIY overlay

second i dream of a kind of transparent piece of plastic that would substitute the metal original overlays.
so we can put a transparent paper with our custom labels under it , between the vci and the transparent part

il would be a 2 parts overlay i guess , but transparent and made of hard plastic, with holes that we can cut for knobs , etc…

cheers

Thanks for the feedback everyone- feel free to offer us any suggestions on other types of products we should work on or anything we could do better! :)

Ean, what about a 11-knob option for VCI-300 users? Or a combination of green/white like like at the link I received from the DJ Techtools email?

i was hoping for the midifighter release. damn rss got me excited.

what about using those shirts as promo tool for the midifighter? like people who buy a shirt today get a priority spot on the pre-order list?

Ah hell yeah! I REALLY want a MIDIFighter!

Ean – Are you able to release info on how much they might cost? So we can put those pennies away in time for November ;)

Now that I switched fron Torq to TS Pro, a midifighter would be dope. I had the chance to touch Ean’s Midifighter at Musikmesse and really liked it.

What is a midi fighter really interesting to see

you guys should make laptop skins

Looks like I am going to have to hide my wallet from myself, i want that t-shirt.

Shirt looks great Ean. Can’t wait for the MIDI Fighter!

I’d love to see a in-depth performance and tutorial video. I know the website gives them out for free, but a well put together video filled with tips, techniques, and so forth would be a great sell I think. I would totally buy that DVD. Or if can be a paid digital download HD so that the djteachtools team doesn’t even have to ship.

Just my 2cents

Already saving for that midi fighter. Can’t wait, Ean!

I would like to see a light blue version to match with the blue of the overlay and the led light.
There is any chance to make the knobs and faders painted with Blue UV reactive paint?
(like this PC fan? http://www.overclockers.co.uk/pimg/FG-016-AK_400.jpg)
There is a way to make the overlay labels UV reactive too?

I’m just imagining a shiny blue vci-100 :D

I forgot to put my name on :)

might have to pick up a shirt. I have this one

Damn, I can’t wait for the midifighter. Might put me off buying a Trigger Finger or MASCHINE for a bit.

Midi Fighter announcements are coming very soon… Its hard to explain how very cool this controller is going to be. We made a lot of changes and improvements to the core set up, its going to be offered in 2 configurations:

1) 16 button Kit Set – build your own version and totally customize the color scheme of the buttons and top sheet. expandable so you can add your own custom analogue components. totally open source firmware. Assembly requires no soldering and can be done in 20 minutes.

2) pre-made dj instruments with 16 buttons and analogue controls – completely gorgeous and bad ass musical instruments made from wood and metal- specifically designed for very exact dj uses. Imagine the love child of a monome/battle mixer/arcade controller/

Any Chance you’ll be getting the new knobs and faders in different colour’s ?
I have the original arcade buttons the blue,green,red,yellow and I would love to have the knobs and faders to match the 4 colours on both sides !!

Cheers for the great new developments Ean

badass! thanks for the MidiFighter details…i think i’m leaning toward the custom build concept…cant wait for the release!

Ean, your just making me want a midi fighter even more.

Cant wait to see those DJ instrumnts. Then I can steal some ideas into my own MIDI.

yall arent in the streets ditchin thugs with ur controller straped to your back like the nija tho.

Midi fighter?

How about vinyl fighter?

Just my luck, placed an order for arcade kit & other bits (shipping to UK so not cheap!) then the next day you guys add new white knobs (which I’ve been looking for!!) and this cool ass t-shirt!!

So gutted :(

May get too tempted and get it in a week or two though!! :P

Dang I can’t wait for the release. I was saving up for vci100 but now i’m jazzed to see what comes out and how affordable it is.

I can’t find the green knobs, and when I click the link it takes me to the shopify “admin” login I think.

[quote comment=""]I know I’m being lazy on this one but do you know off the top of your head if the knobs and faders fit on an Akai APC40 by any chance?! Thanks![/quote]i can’t speak to whether the knob/fader specs of the APC and VCI are similar…but one thing to consider about these knobs is they have a marker on them and the APC knobs are endless. i know it’s small detail, just sayin.

arrrggghhhhhhhhhh! i just recently bought the black ones… would love the green chunky ones! I HATE YOU !!!!!! :D

no 2x t-shirt?? thats fcked up Ean… no love.

Ean do you think that there will be enough midi fighters available so that they dont all get scooped up as soon as they are released?

Love that shirt..
Ean, is it a possible to purchase the digital print, so i could print it on a shirt of my choice?
idea – you can make a ‘remix the shirt’ competition!
interesting experiment

I want to know if the midifighter will have the same outline as ean bento and midli.. And will it be mapped out? The four lights make me think that it also has scenes, does it??? Finally does the cutomizable mean that there’s room for more buttons with the same chip… Cause I want something with maybe 36 buttons!! YEAH

Sorry I forgot, any estimated PRICE???

out of curiousity was the umc32 and sawna buttons used for this controller?

[quote comment="22448"]Sorry I forgot, any estimated PRICE???

Do the math 16 LED + 16 Buttons + EXTRA => 32 …

The buttons are Sanwa (only the best)

All the electronics/software have been engineered by the DJTT team.

how about some 2xl tees for us larger midi fighters?

You totally just saved me some $$! That was a big oversight on my part actually. Now I am on the hunt for some colored encoders unless DJTT has them in the wings.

I currently have the top section of my APC40 mapped with Bento’s SMart Mixer and I could use 5 colored encoders to make those controls stand out more. definitely not a necessity but would be nice.

still waiting on “Midi Fighters- Mid November”

any news???

Hey Ean,

I’m really looking forward to modding my knobs on the VCI-300. I find the original knobs a bit small. But I’m more looking for the Xone 92 type of EQ knobs. How do you know wich will fit the VCI?

I can find verry little information about this on the web.

YThanks in advance.

Hey does anyone know the best way to remove the black vci-300 nobs and CAREFULLY replace them with the new green ones??? I really don’t want to screw it up!

Thanks =]
