Midifighter Extreme!! mod project!!

Very impressed mate - great work :smiley:

Thanks everyone for the supportive comments!! The project is nearly finished except for a few hold ups :disappointed: Cant wait to get it finished!! Have a gig on the 23rd and want to road test it!!

When we ordered over a certain amount we got free shipping.
The faders feel like the pitch fader on a cdj1000,theyre quite nice.I originally wanted 45mm ones but there was a 15 week lead time so i got 60mm ones.Think id prefer shorter ones cos thats what im used to!

The mapping is not quite finished,I will post up drawing soon listing out functions soon!

theres still a few slight bugs to fix but we will be releasing everything when everything is finished and we have a write up done!

Ha im thinking paypal new pcb donate button here ----> [PAYPAL] :smiley:

New atmel chip arrived this morning dunno if thats the problem but ordered one just incase!!

Funny thing is it was working normally,went to flash it and it lit up like a christmas tree giving pcb fail symptoms. :disappointed:


when everything is finished im going to clean up this mess by etching a circuit board

Nicely!!
:slight_smile:

sweet. would love to see it in action!

Bit of a hold up,seeing as the pcb failed! Cant wait till its ready!We’re already putting together ideas for an improved version!!

that is one sexy beast. me likes.

New PCB ordered… now we wait!!

Very very inspiring stuff. Thanks a lot.

New pcb shipped!! Oh the excitement!! We’ve come up with some awesome changes to the firmware and are really excited to get things moving!!Watch this space…you’re going to love this!!!

Im also thinking of redoing the case with a metal top as the faders dont feel natural without that “click” you get with a normal mixer,maybe thats just me but its been bugging me and I only just figured out why!

That is a NICE looking controller. Great work.

Man you need that click well i do. Did a couple of nights in a club that had a djm500 where the mid had no click on one channel so annoying and the booth was dark.

Hell yeah! No the knobs have the centre dent so thats not the problem,
What i mean is the faders feel different because its a wooden case,they give a hollow thud when you flick them up or down instead of that solid click you feel on a normal mixer with a metal faceplate,so even though the faders are lovely and smooth they didnt feel right and I couldnt figure out why till now

dude!!!

you are the best midi fighter modder I’ve seen on here.

I might go and visit my grandma in Ireland later this year.

I’m gonna come and see this controller as a DJTT tourist attraction like it was the giants causway!!!

I’ve been wanting to do something like this but I cant program anything at all, let alone a custom firmware.

how many hours went into creating the firmware control scheme?

would you consider writing one for someone else?

let me know if you’d consider it and I’ll do a drawing of the layout to see if its realistic.

Couldnt really estimate,we did a lot of trial and error trying to get the extra led’s working right

we will probably be releasing the firmware when everything is ready, tested and our build log is done!

Maybe you can design your layout around our firmware,that would save alot of work and some small changes would be easy!
If you use 4 cd4051b multiplexers you can have 32 analog inputs
Our firmware has 12 allocated for knobs/faders and 20 for buttons
4 of those buttons bank everything into 4 global banks and 4 work like the standard midifighter 4 banks mode giving you a lot of controll

We are adding some more awesome features to our firmware too but were gonna keep everyone in suspense till its finished!!

Did another little bit of modding!!

HAHAHAHAHA ! I hope my MF doesn’t end up like that …

Man this is an amazing project!! Please do a write up because I might have to make this myself! Really good at putting things like this together, it’s just the programming that gets me. But you’ve already got that part covered!

New pcb arrived today!! Thanks djtt!! Now to get this project finished!!
