Midi Fighter Vs. Akai MPD

[fullenglishpint]

Keep in mind that it will take someone hours and hours to map out the MPD from scratch to match the midi fighter's mapping.

Not really. All you have to do is change the MPD's midi notes to match the MF ones and then use the same mapping. You can even make a kind of 4 banks mode for the IG mapping by using different pages.

For a lot of people I dare say that could take hours :P

hehe yeh, fair point.

Feel I should point out that I've never EVER heard of someone who wasn't pleased with their midifighter. Unless of course it's not working.

I had come to a similar conclusion (though i do plan to order a custom midi fighter just for those dang arcade buttons) but I wound up using an extra padkontrol I had with farmpad. one advantage I like with using the padkontrol is the multiple scenes independent of traktor mappings. but as they say for beat juggling the arcade buttons do have a nice feel to em. One thing i would like to see on a midi fighter is the XY pad as I really like to use that for expression for some scenes on my controller multiple scenes (independent of traktor) would be nice to

I also do all my own mappings so having premade mappings is not that big of an issue for me personally.

I'm sure you could mod a midifighter with an XY pad.

I was actually going to hit up ean about that when I decide to order as i have some design ideas for the midi fighter I would like to have myself
