Official "Is That Ean's New Controller?" Thread

looks like he had 2 black mf pro’s, a white mf pro, and a black classic mf.
…that’s a serious amount of buttons

That’s what I figured, guy probably had never seen a mf or maybe though the white one was the new one. I would love the option to buy a white mf pro. So sexy.

Considering it’s been 3 pages and the OP hasn’t responded, I’m calling SPAM

sorry, I had to work a double yesterday and didn’t get a chance to report in.

ended up going to EPR, obviously, and they turned off all the lights and some dude got on the mic to hype Ean and his NEW CONTROLLER and said they had to keep the lights off for it- but then the lights came on?

anyway, i pulled out my phone when the dude said that ean was gonna have a new controller and took a video. What the hell is this? :confused:

EDIT: reuploaded to fix sound

a midi fighter with accelerometers!!!BOOM!

Couldn’t tell much, but it did look like a 4x4 button grid, and I did like the the lights on it.

Looks to me like a mf classic with an accelerometer. Although I’m sure a ton of people including me will think this is badass, I hope the people expecting a mf mixer aren’t too disappointed. Who knows, maybe there’s more to it :smiley:

Edit: also maybe looks like RGB? It’d be sweet to have all clear ring arcade buttons with rgb leds for super flexible color coding.

woah- thats a pretty cool controller :wink:

and god himself spoke…

Try God’s son :stuck_out_tongue:

jesus only wishes he was as cool as ean.

Wireless MIDIfighters… MIDI over wifi. :slight_smile:

Hmmmmmm can’t tell if the cable was for his controller or his earbuds…

The midifighter is slowly transforming into a monome… :stuck_out_tongue:

he should call it a midi flyer, midi fighter flyer, midi flighter, or a midi fighter flight

:stuck_out_tongue:

MIDI-FI tur? :smiley:

Controllers are the Guitar/synth of 2012? Doesn’t anyone else find this stuff, over the top?

It’s part of Ean Golden’s show- he’s more of a rock star in the way he’s putting on a performance and people are there to go and watch him rather than the regular DJ thing where you ignore the DJ and dance to the music. Happens to any artist with a niche and an element of fame.

So from what I’ve seen in the video it looks like a MF with:

Fully lit buttons (unless they used the clear ones) that change color (or could be the lighting)
Has an accelerometer function
May or may not be wireless (I’m guessing it’s still wired via USB)

I wonder what it will be called. I’m guessing there will be a hand strap if that controller does have an accelerometer function. It would sort of suck to accidentally throw your MF into the crowd lol. I hope they do another naming competition and we get a chance to win that thing!
