Hey Everyone,
My first post but I have been stalking this site for over a year now and I have a question for all of you Midi Fighter owners.
Disclaimer: This is not meant to start a war; just an honest question.
Here it is - I have been debating on buying a Midi Fighter or a custom Midi Fighter, but after doing some serious research I ask myself - "what is the point?"
I just priced a Midi Fighter out (assembled, etc.) and the total is $200, not including shipping. A custom Midi Fighter is $450 to start.
Doesn't it make more sense to purchase an MPD 24 or MPD 26? Both are available for $200 (including shipping where I live). How about the MPD 32 for $300?
The Midi Fighter doesn't have touch-sensitive pads, faders or knobs but is more expensive than the akai products. The MPD 32 has more options than what the custom Midi Fighter can provide and is pound-for-pound a better deal.
AGAIN - I'm not bashing DJ TechTools, but I have to ask you all, what is the advantage to purchasing a Midi Fighter over an MPD? Am I missing something?
I want to purchase one more controller with pads or buttons for DJing with my S4. I plan on mapping hot cues and FXs to the controller instead of using the buttons on the S4.
Can someone let me know if I am missing something really groundbreaking between Midi Fighter and MPDs (other then selecting the button colours)?
Thanks - Peace and Beats!
