I’m a (tiny) little bit confused what you mean by [quote]“would like to have one on each side to
use with deck A and B then to double up on the loops at the bottom”[/quote] but if you mean what i think you mean my answer is:
I don’t see why not.
Assuming you have a typo in there and want 1 midifighter for deck A + B and 1 midi fighter for deck C + D you would have 8 buttons per deck to configure any way you can possible dream of.
And your regular midi controller ( S4 MAN I’M JEALOUS ) will work as if the midi fighters are not there. In other words, it does’nt matter for the S4 if your using other equipment alongside it. ( as far as i know )
My apologies for any typo’s in my little comment, i’m dutch and i’m sticking with that as an excuse
Good luck with your gear man, an S4 and 2 Midi Fighters… I think i’ll start bribing Santa for that set right now so i’ll get it for Xmass!
You should only really need one midi fighter. You can make a 4 deck mapping yourself. I’m currently working on one with the Four banks mode. Unless you really don’t want to bother having to hit an extra button or two.
I have 3… 1 for each deck, and a third for deck C, which I use for doing mashups and songs used in transitions. I use the three with my Ecler Nuo 3.0 and an Xone 2D as a soundcard and for browsing, loop, filter, and pitch controls.
Depends on the setup really. With an S4 I would just use one with the InstantGrad mapping, anything more alongside a S4 seems like overkill in my book.
