Are these available at the DJTT store? Or are they different from the $500+ midifighters?

The color changing leds are bad ass!!

I’ve always commended you guys are doing great things, and this is no exception, but I just don’t see how this fits in my set… I’m a hip hop DJ (who occasionally plays house), how would would this fit/help my Hip Hop Sets, but regardless you guys are still really innovative…. and I can see the potential for people that play music more friendly to that style or approach…

The possibilities are just endless now! Kinda waiting for encoder support, but that’s just wishful thinking!

@Dj PC3
I’m an SSL dj, but some of the ideas and theories coming out of the DJTT site are (to me) advancing my skill sets, rather than scratching/backspinning into the next track. The time to learn a new way of “performing” your mixes in the end are going to put yourself ahead of most Dj’s (that I know of anyway).

One great example is cue point juggling. There are times I don’t like looping a track in/out (echo fade), so I simply “drum” them in, (kick/snare/hi hat). Rearranging the beat to match the next song, and then hitting the last cue point for the drop. Great for a build-up and slowing down the tempo a bit for those Wiz Kalifa/Cool Kids tracks that just don’t match up.

Cool looking prototype! Can’t go wrong with faders and arcade buttons, one day I hope to own my own diy fader/button battle controller. Something to control 4 fx units and cue’s

hahaha awesome stuff! :D
dang, cant wait until I can actually afford all this stuff!
(no sarcasm)

@Dj PC3 – I totally agree with Dj Windz One. I’m from a turntablist background and I love the more options hot cue tricks present but still mixed with traditional turntable moves, Wether there performance based or not I think it’s 100% pos to play these midi instruments with a hip hop flavor. Click on my name for a link where theres a number of transitions that wouldn’t be pos without hot cue juggling in my hip hop/scratch dj style mix.

Ps. Happy new year every one!

Are you saying that MIDI instruments can’t be played in a hip hop style?

You can use it to lay some hip hop beats on the fly. Make your own remixes live. and with the bridge the possibilities are endless. live remixing with these is the way to go for hip hop users using ssl.

what is the remix of this underworld – always loved a film track called?

@Anonymous – I think it’s (it is) 100% pos ( possible ) to play these midi instruments with a hip hop flavor!! (style)
Considering I said I agreed with Dj Windz One, it seems odd that you could then interpret my comments as, I don’t think you can use midi controllers with Hip Hop?
The reason for pointing out the link to my mix is simply there for any one who wants to hear many good examples of different transitions combining button mashing and scratching or traditional mixing.

It looks really cool as a unit but that mini promo/demo video is a bit well… not great. I look forward to seeing more videos in the future, maybe a proper routine?

Another Overpriced MPD!! with that iraqi look feel and quality!!!!

I was not a big fan of these but I can see where people might like them. You guys who only use trakor do not need touch sensitive stuff to trigger loops, but you really should scratch this video. The clicking of the buttons is louder than the music. The video makes the product seem worse than it is. Mute out the clicking and get some solid ON TEMPO beat making.

For your own sake, just make a better demo. I like the lights.

For $500 dollars you can get NI’s machine and use the traktor software template

Underworld – Always Loved A Film (AmpLive Remix)

i love the idea of this and the fact we might be able to buy them amazing but the video dosn’t show the midi fight off that well

love the idea hate the video cause the midi fighter can do so much more

What is the name of the track being played at the end???

I, just wondering it would be difficult to use Seimitsu buttons instead of sanwa and to put the leds beneath the outer transparent button rings.

I know it’s possible because I did so in the past on customized arcade sticks but I wonder if if would prove difficult given the pcb and spacing. I know seimitsu’s buttons are slightly harder than sanwa’s but they are still arcade grade and hit-confirm perfect.

I mean it’s only an additionnal light but I really digged the concept of lighting the button itself. Not to mention you still can use other LEDs (like the current ones beside buttons or anywhere else)
