just got my Midi fighter but there has been a mix up!

[HerbStrike]

i am a mixture of happy and mad just got my midi fighter now the proud owner of number 444 of 500 but my order is wrong! i ordered 4 red 6 white 6 black buttons and the diy options ( i was really looking forward to putting it together) but i got 7 white buttons 5 red and 4 black and it came already assembled, plus the certificate has my mom's name on it haha i should not complain she bought it cause it was my half christmas half birthday present. is it easy to take apart to change the buttons around?

Edit: just turned it on and all the leds are in the wrong place not a happy chappy

What do you mean the LED's are in the wrong laces? It's pretty easy to take apart. The buttons just push in so you can take the four screws out of the corners and pull the top off.

The leds only come one way dude... contact the service dept and they will sort ya buttons out.

O - second thought I assume you mean the light pipes ( the little clear cylinders) are not aligned due to the top plate being in the wrong orientation.

Someone needs a slap!

Your certificate should be signed by whoever built it - name and shame!

thanks for the swift reply Sorry was not very clear before I was full of a strange mixture of rage and happiness i have not experienced before (rage nothing to do with this very stressful day at work, just happy to have a midi fighter at last) had to go away for a beer and a calm down.
@midifidler you are bang on there the face plate was fitted in the wrong orientation so i had to pull it to bits, but then i got to put t back together again, just gonna keep this button combo for a while i think it will be a faf on to get more sent out as it's in my mom's name she would have to get in touch etc etc. i feel bad too cause someone took the time and effort to put it together when they really did not have too, it was 01/03/11 so i am assuming some one had the mother of all hangovers that week TONY?

[midifidler]

No prob - ill be sure to give Tony some shit for ya :P
Get in touch with the orders dept and get them to send the correct buttons out to ya any way!

[HerbStrike]

Cheers , I sent Zach a PM about getting my finalist prize for the t-shirt comp, so i will ask about buttons when he gets back to me.
took it apart again this morning and changed the plungers on the buttons and swapped stuff about again took me about 15 mins to strip it and put it back together i could do that all day for minimum wage. wink wink nudge nudge.

Can I offer a suggestion before you get the guys in the US to re-post things over?

There is a UK stockist of the MF buttons:
http://www.gremlinsolutions.co.uk/products/OBSF-24.htm

Maybe if HerbStrike could order himself the 2 black buttons that he is missing - then could DJTT just send over the funds to him?

I'm guessing that getting a UK company to post buttons within the UK will be much quicker than via the US?

Plus you can do the custom button combinations on that site - it's also quite easy to do yourself.

No worries if you'd rather sort it all out via the US but the buttons are only £1.60 ~ $2 so seems that would be the quickest way!

Good luck and I hope that you overcome this initial annoyance and can start mashing your MF !!!!

Ahh nippy!

That happened to me , but wasn't as bad,
Paid for it to be assembled arrived un assembled.

It wasn't a problem tho, had fun building it.

The real pain in the ass was that I had to flash it.
Hope they fixed that issue now.

Tut tut Tony

Are you in Win or OSX? Have you used the new installers?
