sooo ive posted on here before and obviously people are too cool to help me or they dont know a damn thing about the midi fighter 3d. no one can help me program the thing for myself so i get to just use the they have sound packs for free. and even better, dj tech tools wont send me their weekly emails so im stuck with like 14 sound packs, 4 of which dont even work. im kinda getting pissed off over here, because its been a couple weeks and the most help ive gotten is: “to put sounds on it, use the drum rack in ableton.” HOW HELPFUL DESCRIPTIVE. can ANYONE help me? im really trying not to waste this $250 controller by only being able to play other peoples shit thanks to a lack of help and understanding.
okay well what does it mean to program my controller? i think it already is.
i want to put my own sounds and effects onto it using ableton. i want to controll the effects with the tilt function, the whole point of the MF3d. i just want to know how to use the controller i purchased without being limited to someone elses sounds and effects.
Use MIDI learn function. Enable it > find effect parameter you wish to control > mark it by clicking on it > tilt your MF > disable MIDI learn > test function. There are plenty of examples on yt, make sure to check them. Mad Zach made some pretty tutorials on this subject.
could you post links? because ive been looking for weeks. literally. ive found zero videos on mapping any form of midi fighter. unless its explaining pre-made mappings.
It seems like you bought some professional/expert gear and software, then got mad that it didn’t instantly make you a professional/expert. I know it’s frustrating, but this is powerful shit that takes some time to master. DJTT just provides the tools (and actually provides more guidance and tutorials than most pro gear companies), but they can’t be responsible for making sure you are qualified to put them to good use. Relax and take your time. Keep asking questions without getting angry, and you’ll eventually get the help you need, man.
by no means do i hope to instantly become an expert haha. im an artist, and i know any form of art takes a lot of time and practice to get down. i do appreciate everything DJTT does, but i dont appreciate not receiving emails im promised. which is the only thing i brought up about them btw, lol. and its hard not to get angry when jumping into such a complicated world. i dont mean to take it out on anyone, but fuck, when you have no idea what youre doing and you just blew a decent amount of money trying to pursue something you love, frustration can mount up quickly. so im sorry if im sounding like a dick.
It’s all good, man. It’s a steep learning curve, but it’s worth it. We’ve all been there. Hell, I’m still trying to figure out how to make all this shit work smoothly. Best of luck.
