So I now have a Traktor Kontrol S2 With BeauBryte’s mapping. With it I almost don’t need anything else. Having midi fighters with instant grat. and deckalized was crucial when I only had a numark mixtrack pro. I’m only using them sometimes for making music at the moment. I currently have a midi fighter classic and spectra and I would love to incorporate it back into my setup. So here’s my question:
Is there any other things I could use the midi fighters for that maybe I’m overlooking?
I don’t really need extra cue points or effects controlling. I’m also not very fond of using the spectra as an F1 because there’s no monitoring or volume control. I have a feeling there’s something I’m missing.
Some other options might be-
EQ kills, one touch loop controls (I like to use one-touch micro loops with flux mode), beat jump. If you’re using S2 for FX, you could use buttons on the MF for FX presets… Using the MF to setup the FX preset and the S2 to activate/manipulate it.
Either way, with no need for FX, Cue points, Remix decks, or transport controls; two Midi fighters is definitely overkill. I’d sell/trade one.
hey Dalton
it could also be that you are trying to create a job for a company that doesnt really need to exist.
In that i mean, at this point with your technique and equipment, you might have some redundancy going on.
I have a few items i no longer need in my rack system because all my midi equipment now does this for me.
And its only because, times change, and we gather new equipment for our needs.
You can do two things here
A) see if you can make up something to use the equipment for
or
b) let yourself go a bit, take a step back and really look at your setup, and really take a moment to see if you really do need item X,Y, and Z. Or is it that X and Y are doing everything you need.
Considering how long it took to get your Spectra, I’m sure it bugs the hell out of you to hear someone complaining about not having a use for their Midi figthers…
