New DJTT controller?

I don't think MF3D + knobs/faders makes sense... It would be too large and difficult to hold up and control while moving around.

Makes sense if they use same analogs to wire faders/knobs instead of motion sensors.

Well nah, the idea is that it would have knobs + faders instead of silly motion controls that require you to pick up the device.

The mixer idea is obviously not going to happen for a great many reasons... But within this context, they're releasing something in the place of the MF classic, they wouldn't release a mixer instead.

The most likely case is that they're just releasing a MF with RGB LEDs, but no motion controls or side buttons.

I bet it's an LED midi fighter. So the 3d sans the gyro!

This was my thought immediately when I saw that "..something new..." was coming. I want the RGB of MF3D, but don't really have a need for the motion controls. Don't ever see myself using the motion controls at all, but the RGB feedback and remix deck integration is very nice. At the sale price, the MF Classic still has some appeal: to me, it makes a lot of sense as an Ableton Drum Rack controller (I don't need velocity-sensitive pads for what I do...).

I would be down with a Launchpad-esque MIDI Fighter, something with an 8x8 grid of arcade buttons and some extra bells and whistles.

I'd also like to see some kind of revised MIDI Fighter Pro. I LOVE the super faders on my Beat Masher. I'd like to see more of these on more controllers.

Shame that they're going to be honest, kind of feels like part of the DIY-spirit is being discontinued.

an rgb midi fighter with pressure sensitive buttons is my guess. Not pads. Still buttons.

yup

with pressure sensitive buttons is my guess. Not pads. Still buttons.

nope

If its only rgb lights it wouldn't be much of a change at all.
The motion control would have never been guessed before hand so who knows. But the rgb would be really nice

It'd be a big enough change to replace the MF classic... it's not like they're making a huge deal out of it like they did with the MF3D

That's a solid point actually.... We wouldn't have predicted the 3D, because motion controls are gimmicky and minimally useful, and pressure-sensitive arcade buttons would also be gimmicky and minimally useful. You might be on to something.
