Im liking the mixer orientated designs the most.

[Stewe]

This Traktor unit is divided in to two sections (one mixer channel and deck transport) that are both supported with individual deck focus mapping which gives you ability to control any of four decks at each side of the unit. This means you could have all your basic mixing and matching controls over one deck or to focus your deck of the choice to both of control types. It's quite flexible.

-Shift button that doubles the layer in both of focuses
-3 band EQ with filter/gain (holding Shift displays current line fader position at the bottom encoder LED ring for the soft takeover)
-6 hotcues (Shift delete)

This controller could be support deck in any digital DJ setup.

Daaaamn, synthet1c! Those designs are awesome...

Cheers Pat! I'm pretty happy with how they turned out. I tried to make a dj effect one first but everything i tried looked tacky on screen. Decided to go with controllers I would actually want to use for production.. But I think it's the pink and black that makes them look cooler than they actually are

I couldn't resist...

This is a combination of two of the controller's I made, but offers a better workflow in a D.A.W. than the previous two combined.

It is laid out as a sequencer, clip launcher and a controller for effects/synths.

I took a bit of artistic merit in adding LCD screens above the endless led knobs, but this makes the controller much more versatile as the user gets instant feedback of what the knob they are turning does, this means the shifts to change from the most used effects "eq, compressor, reverb, delay etc.." can have quick launch buttons so the user can easily change the sound of the currently selected pattern.

The sequencer has the ability to change the focus so you can get that early snare in minimal, and buttons to move forward and backward so you can see everything at the closest zoom.

Choosing patters remain as before with the endless encoder with the lcd feedback, but now you can press the blue shift button to quickly change patterns on the fly.

There is a clip launcher that retained the ability to change the x and y axis but now offers the ability to change the volume knobs into effect sends for ease of use.

by my count it should be able to fit everything with midi
16*16= 512 messages for sequencer
16*16= 512 messages for clip launcher
8*6*16 = 768 messages for knobs
18 for extra buttons
2048 - 1810 =

This thing would be awesome for every stage of production of techno from initial creation, to mastering to live performance with ableton live

AKA the MF-80

[midifidler]

those are some awesome designs guys!

The midi fighter max that was posted today is pretty much my dream controller for compact mixing. If I could have all the basic functions of a mixer in the MF format that was daisy chainable, I would be in heaven. Midi fighter max with a spectra on each side. soo many possibilities in that compact form factor. Wish I had a facebook so I could vote on it...

Hi everybody! My name is Jaime and I'm from Madrid, Spain. I've been reading the forum for a long time, but this is my first post here. I just want to show you my entry for the contest, so you can let me know what you think!
Thank you very much!

It's called the MIDI FIGHTER VERSUS.

The VERSUS is designed to be the brain of a whole new modular midi fighter setup. It can work with one or two midi fighters (spectra/3d/classic) depending on what you need in
different moments.

The VERSUS is a 4 deck mixer mainly designed for Traktor with a brand new great feature: you can change "on the fly" the mapping active in each module. For example, if you are performing with a VERSUS and 2 SPECTRA/3D, you can set the DECKALIZED mapping to both modules connected to the VERSUS so you can easily control two track decks. Then, with the 2 encoders and 4 buttons at the top, you can change "on the fly" the functions assigned to each module, for example, set the REMIX DECKS mapping to module 1 and DECKASHARED mapping (new mapping created by me
based on the DECKALIZED mapping which allows controlling 2 decks simultaneously) to module 2, or even the INSTANT GRATIFICATION mapping in case you want to focus on effects.

The VERSUS has 2 touch stripes and 8 endless potentiometers with LED feedback. It also has
two toggle switches to change between decks A and C, and B and D. Instead of using regular faders, I've chosen the touch stripes because with only 2 of them it's easy to control
4 decks. The same reason made me choose 8 endless potentiometers with LED feedback, which allow equalizing, filtering and adding effects on the 4 decks.

I think it's easier to understand how it works with the following pictures.
