You can use it to load internet explorer if you want! It can be used to trigger any function that is 'mappable' in DJ Software, including cue points. To answer another question from you guys, it's a software controller, requires a computer :)
actually i just saw in the " review " section of the midi fighter spectra in DJ Tech Tools that some people had recently said (the most recent one was posted on the 16th of July which was 2 days ago) how they were happy that the spectra was brought back but when i go to the section where you can customize it, it just says "out of stock" and it also says directly underneath that "save the spectra" so i am confused has midi fighter brought the spectra back or what?
if using this for ableton drumracks & efx would you suggest spectre over 3d? i don't think im going to be holding this in the air & turning it about...is that the main difference btwn the spectre & 3d?
nice video, but i noticed that your studio monitors aren't right. You sill get better sound quality if the tweeter is level with your head, and you should form an equilateral triangle- you being a point and the two monitors being the other two. Try it out.
I get that it is more of DJ controller, but I like it more as a Ableton live type of controller. I like using for drums and stuff more than launching clips and fx
kinda funny i was just watching mad zach's tutorial before i came to this ;) learning to finger drum.. takes a lot of time as i have learned lol using my maschine mikro.. these midi fighters look hella fun though.
Hey I am really wondering what is the difference between the spectra and the 3d. Which one is better? I am thinking the 3D is better or has more things to it because of the price but idk.
Hey guys do you need Ableton live intro or better version to use this with Mad Zachs sound packs ???? please answear dunno weather to buy this or not. Thanks
ridemytube247 Definitely. All DJ software and DAW's accept MIDI. It'll work in all versions of Traktor, Ableton, Serato, Logic, and any other software you can think of.
No you don't you can load his samples right into the sample decks of Traktor or whatever software you are using that can use samples. If the software you are using dosn't have dedicated sample decks or something like abletons setup where its in its own mixer tracks then I would avoid using samples but other than that the Spectra is so worth having and I would jump on it.
Im going to the Arts Institute to get a bachelors degree in Music Production. I want to become a dj/producer like Hardwell Deadmau5 and Alesso. Im only 18 so im still young :) Will I need the Midi Fighter Spectra?
You don't NEED any particular piece of gear. Look around, go to GC or your local music store, get a feel for different brands and controllers, and do a lot of research :) find out what works for you, and how you want to perform. Deadmau5 uses countless different controllers live, and has a really unique way of performing. Figure out what works for you. If you're looking for a pad- or drum- type controller, or something with a bunch of extra buttons that'll last you forever, the MIDI Fighter is a kick-ass little beast. You don't need it, but you can certainly get one if it's something you think you'd use live. :D hope I was somewhat helpful :)
Well the Midi Fighter is an amazing Midi controller. You can use it however you like. Cotts just love using his as an FX controller. Some even use it to do live Mashups. So since the Midi Fighter is completely Midi mappable, you can map it to whatever software you'd want. :D Completely up to you man. :) I'd say it's a great buy!
Holy shit, I want one. I'm not even a dj, I just want to play with it!
same XD

Saw your video and decided to buy one for myself. Awesome review. Thanks heaps! :)
I really don't know what i will do with this, but i am definately getting one....
Very first track is HALCALI - Strawberry Chips (JAKAZiD's Rave Breaks Remix) by the way; its up for a free download on Soundcloud.
Wow. That's an amazing setup!
Awesome and thanks for the review !!!
What is the name of track at 0:39?

K thanks mate I have a NS6 with Serato Dj so I should be good then ?
O_O I JUST REALIZED THAT YOU GOT NEW DECKS!!!
sneaky bugger :D
It's a computer security conference ;)
Thank you for the outstanding review :)

Thanks Nicholas! I fixed it in recent videos, you are right sounds so much better.
no prob
how do you change banks on it?
I get that it is more of DJ controller, but I like it more as a Ableton live type of controller. I like using for drums and stuff more than launching clips and fx
What midi mapping are you using? I use the spectra all the time with Traktor, but im always derping on the controller hahaha.
kinda funny i was just watching mad zach's tutorial before i came to this ;) learning to finger drum.. takes a lot of time as i have learned lol using my maschine mikro.. these midi fighters look hella fun though.

What are your thoughts about the Novation Launchpad?
what's the name of the song that you were "remixing" around 8:30??
does it come with software to put each sound to a button? Or do you have to buy a program
Hey guys do you need Ableton live intro or better version to use this with Mad Zachs sound packs ???? please answear dunno weather to buy this or not. Thanks
Would this be a cool device for someone like me who just wants to jam/mashup on this alone ? (i.e. not dj-ing or producing)
It's fantastic for that :D as long as you have software that accepts MIDI, it's perfect for that :)
Can you use it for cue points?
what kind of software is used with those?
Cottsy ... where can i buy one in Aus???
It works with any software that uses midi
so its kinda like an mpc sampler?
what software and mapping are you using?
Going this year?
are you on the djtt forum?
new to midi's, does this work with ALL tractor software??, "A6" scratch pro to be exact, any issues on i5 4g macs?
ridemytube247 Definitely. All DJ software and DAW's accept MIDI. It'll work in all versions of Traktor, Ableton, Serato, Logic, and any other software you can think of.
We use the same mapping :') I feel professional
What's the background song!? D:
I just want one can it be used without speaker? I ain't even a dj
+ItsChayceandAdrian Headphones.
you can map it yourself or go to there website djtt for midimappings
there isn't a built-in speaker in it, right ?
+Zion Robison right
No you use ableton to make lights and sounds and you use your computer speakers
Cotts did a whole mix on it, just search Djcotts - Nomad Hardstyle
best convention ever!
Do Numark Orbit, please! ^_^
No you don't you can load his samples right into the sample decks of Traktor or whatever software you are using that can use samples. If the software you are using dosn't have dedicated sample decks or something like abletons setup where its in its own mixer tracks then I would avoid using samples but other than that the Spectra is so worth having and I would jump on it.
What is the midi mapping you are using?
maps.djtechtools.com/mappings/1277
For a beginner, which is better/easier between a 3d or a spectra ?
+Zion Robison
The spectra is ded
Goplay Launchpadder compared to... what? Saying "midi fighter" can mean two different controllers .
+Zion Robison No, he said that the only MIDI Fighter available now is the 3D
Can i recod midis myself and play them?
Tomas That make absolutely no sense.
Im going to the Arts Institute to get a bachelors degree in Music Production. I want to become a dj/producer like Hardwell Deadmau5 and Alesso. Im only 18 so im still young :) Will I need the Midi Fighter Spectra?

apart from the gopro what the hell is that on you're head its bugging me -_-
nice toys bro
Cotts... with such epic tunes on the background it is almost impossible listen to you.
does it only run on Traktor?
No ableton too
Any software that accepts MIDI :))
Someone please answer his question I WANT TO KNOW TOO
I might get it...

cotts the best harcore!
Is it worht buying one of these if you just like mixing sounds and aren't a good dj… Pls answer me
Well the Midi Fighter is an amazing Midi controller. You can use it however you like. Cotts just love using his as an FX controller. Some even use it to do live Mashups.

thx for the feedback!
Not a problem!:D

Now I can sleep again after so much pondering, lol
That's DJ Nomad. Look him up.
Nomad - Ahead Of The Curve (Original Mix)

Give away your old ones :D ?
lol, thats dope, that thing uses sanwas

n god that thing looks sexy lit up
これはプロの仕業
thats what shawn uses
RoBLOXXER TM yep, Shawn also got a personalised Spectra that has 64 buttons.
dem likes
probbally not , its a usb connected device
Probably at an outrageous price just for a midi controller. :/ cost to make=20usd. Sell=300.
Defcon from zombies hmm what.
Haha, i guess that they didnt agree.
sharks attacks ? who dj with sharks? i want to see that shit
Thos memes in between are really useles
But then it would take years to load...
no
U releases button like u hav disease
lol defcon? defqon
abuses that software
Launchpad Pro much more better, u know, ahha =)
No its not Launchpads are uncomfortable
yeah cuz launchpads almost suck
+Ally.Kat true because the spectra was disconntinued due lack of demand theres only 3D
+Ally.Kat yes but it has just 4 extra buttons and motion tracking
+Goplay Launchpadder anyway its the same
do you use the standard mapping for your traktor kontrol x1 ?
Can i recod midis myself and play them?
