We may add this functionality to the MF pro in the future, however the MF Classic is very unlikely. At very least you need a way for the controller to change the page it is focused on. Not having access to buttons for the other functions makes it of very limited use.
You also need a way to display multiple colors or at very least some way to display multiple levels of brightness which neither the Classic or Pros have.
We had to take the spark effect and button rotation out to fit the new HID functionality onto the device, I have a little space free so I may add it back in, but first I would like to see what new features people dream up after experimenting with the Remix Decks.
@Oriyong - I have just PM’d you, Ill help you get it back up and running .
This sounds cool, my take on this is: is it possible to add the HID triggers for the remix decks 16 slots to one of the 4 smaller buttons when running the mfpro in 4banksmode.
So if using a mf pro with any mapping the “c” or “d” buttons can give that bank HID mode for one remix deck, for me personaly just having the 16 slots triggable would be all I need.
OK, I have tried and tried and tried, but cannot get this to work for me. Let me explain the issue.
Midi Fighter 3D, check
Downloaded new MF utility, check
Installed new Remix Deck firmware, check
Launched Traktor (version 2.5), check
Made sure both deck A & B were set to remix decks, check.
Tested the HID side button on the MF3D, bank lights dim, check.
Then, after all that, there is no “cursor” change to indicate which deck I want to assign the MF3D to. It would be nice if the PDF showed what this is supposed to look like. I’m assuming the cursor on the screen for Traktor should change, but maybe it should be some blinkering light on the MF3D. The point is, I have no idea how to make the “cursor selector thingy” show up or even what it should look like if it does show up. Currently, my traktor shows up the same as always, with no special cursor thingy anywhere. As a result, no Remixing for me
I have even gone so far as to remove the MF3D flashflooder DeckGratMotion mapping to make sure it wasn’t conflicting with the HID thingy. So, I’m kinda stumped. I hope the mistake I’m making isn’t too stupid!!!
I have had a similar problem before, which effected both the MF3D and any F1’s. I resolved it simply by restarting the computer.
I’m guessing you may have tried that already…
What OS are you using and did you install the F1 drivers when installing T2.5?
Can you try setting all decks to remix decks.
The cursor will appear as four green leds which indicate the quadrant of the currently selected deck. Ill update the user guide at some point with more pictures to help illustrate concepts like this.
As in. we dont need rgb feedback for the remix decks.
with the preset switches and basic led feedback
we would love to have atleast 1/2 the fuctionality as the
mf3d…
So the there’s no way to run this as a bank in four banks mode?
Any chance of this happening?
What about making it midi-mappable? I understand that it might not be a smart business-move… But as you pretty much had to have already created this functionality… It would be awfully nice to release it to the public so we can map things. Right now the MF3D is still the only RGB bank around, most people would still buy the MF3D, it would just be nice to be able to custom map it with the remix decks.
1- I’m on OSX 10.6.8 (macbook pro, 8gb ram, 2.8 ghz proc Intel Core Duo). I don’t believe I need to install any special drivers for the F1 since I’m on the mac.
This is likely to be the case - ie you can assign HID functions to the top four arcade buttons in four banks mode, however that is limited in that it only allows you to acces 12/16 samples in each page.
to me as a classic owner that seams like a brilliant idea to allow the pages as in total the 4 pages of 12 samples provides more or less full slot access
Wait, the videos makes it seem like you can toggle on and off this remix deck mode with the “HID toggle”. Is this correct? Could I say, set one rectangular button to toggle on the HID remix deck mode, and the other three to toggle modifiers, to control other decks?
MY goal here is to buy two MFD3’s to control four decks, one of which being a remix deck, and the other three being track decks. I was planning on using bank mode for this, but this recent development says i can’t do that. Will I be able to accomplish this goal using the HID switch?
I think there’s going to be a whole lot of call from the community to control both track decks and remix decks on the same arcade buttons…
This is exactly how it works already, you can load Flashflooders mapping at the same time and by pressing the HID toggle switch between MIDI mode where it will work just like a standard MF3D, and HID Remix Deck control.
You can then also enable MIDI on arcade in HID mode, so when you push an arcade button it will send MIDI and HID at the same time. You could for example use this to trigger and effect which switches on as you trigger a sample and lasts for as long as you hold the button.
well my mf3d isnt being recognized by the midifighter utility. i followed the installation steps and everything went fine with the firmware installation etc, fired up traktor but noticed that nothing was happening (could not get the cursor to appear), so i switched all decks to remix sets and closed traktor and went to open the midifighter utility to change it to four banks disabled hold mode to see if that would make it work, but the mf3d is no longer detected by the utility. i have reboot my computer three times and used a different usb port and it still cannot be detected. the mf3d lights up when plugged in, and the buttons light up when pressed but there is a significant amount of lag between the button light and pressing the button. not sure how to get out of this mess and get back to using my mf3d!
well its not bricked, i got it working back in standard mode, not remix deck mode. i plugged it into my macbook and it recognized it and i set it back to standard mode, and now it works the way it used to on my desktop pc again. but if i set it to remix deck mode it wont be detected at all. i think the new driver that gets installed when switching it to remix deck mode makes it so the mf3d isnt detected. im running windows 7.
