MIDI Fighter Spectra

At least now we know the name. Commence gearlust.

Today I noticed a small software bug which affects some (~20%)units, the symptom is that when upgrading the firmware instead of going into boot-loader mode the device just resets.

I have released a firmware update which fixes this on all units, once you update your Spectra with this code the firmware update will work without any issue.

To do this ...

Connect your Spectra, start the utility, click update firmware, when you see the Spectra display its start up pattern pull out the USB, hold the four corner arcade buttons and connect the USB again. The device should now show the blue boot-loader pattern and the utility will continue the update process.

But still, you just know the name. ;)

Could be an RGB MIDIfighter?

Could it be more than RGB? Like full spectrum of colors?

Ooh exciting

I don't know what the 3D certificate looks like but they weren't customisable, this cert says designed by you like the classic and pro... Not entirely sure what to make of it. RGB buttons surely, but what could the rest be?

RGB would imply full spectrum (RGB LEDs, like those in the MF3D, can display a full range of colors).

I'm guessing it's a combination of the LED rings on the 3d, plus some of the faders/knobs from previous MIDI Fighters (with Chroma Caps of course), perhaps minus the accelerometer (which wouldn't necessarily work as well on an asymmetrical device), and maybe some entirely novel feature we haven't seen in a DJTT/MF device before.

Possibility to design your own layout?

Seems like a distinct possibility.

Also seems like a hell of a lot of work... DJTT are trying to sell large numbers of units these days rather than batches of a couple of hundred like they did 2 years ago, I doubt that individually machined and soldered products are how they see their expansion continuing. I may be wrong though!
