The values and quality of the data coming out is unprecedented.Can we customize the look of the 3D* The first batch will be matte black, with the ability to control the color of the arcade button rings via software. In the future we may produce special editions in various color configurations but for a full custom build- the Midi Fighter Classic is the way to go.BIG THANKSThe Midi Fighter 3D is the culmination of over a year of very hard work from everyone at DJ TechTools. Big props are in order to:Michael: For your tireless effort in bringing this to light and dealing with my perfectionism. This a triumph of engineering!Robin: For creating the best MIDI controller firmware ever!Peter and David: For helping make the 3D super-sexy!Mark: For helping teach us how to manufacture a great controllerChris: For helping pull this project through (and continued mapping skills!)Daniel: For creating a great MF utility!Although it is a gimmick, it would be great to have one, I love the idea of how by tipping the edge farthest away from you towards, you, it grabs the song and apply's a beat-masher, then tilt it either left or right to add 2 diff kinds off effects. See the end of this video for an example!http://www.djtechtools.com/2012/03/01/dj-techtools-on-g4s-attack-of-the-show/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SolDios Posted March 29, 2012 Author Share Posted March 29, 2012 Yeh, I can imagine some Idiot rolling around on the floor with it. Good concept though, they should put the customization color buttons on the regular midi fighters Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

legunner Posted March 30, 2012 Share Posted March 30, 2012 I can see this product hurting their company its just not practical to use in any situation that i can think of. Cool Concept - Not practical in this case imo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
