Use the New Midi Fighter Utility to flash your MidiFighter
Hey,
I’ve noticed lately that a lot of guys who have just purchased MF Pro’s
are trying or have updated their MF PRO’s with the MF Classic updater.
Please don’t!
There will be a MF Pro updater coming soon!
EDIT: The new Midi Fighter Utility is safe for use with all versions of Midi Fighter
The Midi Fighter Utility is available [URL="This firmware updater application has been replaced by the new Midi Fighter Utility check it out HERE
+1.
Stuck for now.
First post so be gentle.
I have my beat masher here waiting for my S4 to arrive. I’ve read multiple comments asking for a flash, what is the problem that is making people want it? I’ll still be able to map out the MF and have fun yea? I guess what I’m trying to ask is, why is this flash update important?
It’s not. They come loaded with the firmware already so there is no need to flash it.
That’s what I thought, but then I see things like this.
So it had me curious. But it’s good that I don’t need to worry about updating anything as of yet.
Basically at some point you will need to reflash with new firmware in order to get new features as they come out. However, currently there’s no way for a user to easily reflash a MF pro without losing all the functionality of the faders, preset buttons and knobs. If you reflash with the standard MF updater, your pro will effectively become a MF classic.
^^^^
This
and what do you do if you do flash it?
contact DJTT support and go through a seriously tedious process of trying to reflash back without an updater program.
seriously tedious process is ABSOLUTELY right! these no easy way around it folks, we just have to wait until they come up with a firmware update or you can continue with trial and error process.
can someone tell me what this process is??
the tedious one? my work schedule doesnt fit in with DJTT’s shitty work schedule and the fact that im EST doesnt help it doubly.
what in the hell do i have to do to make the $350 i just blew worth it?
Why do you need to flash your Midifighter at all? Whats wrong with it?
You shouldn’t need to ever flash it unless something is broken, in which case, contacting tech support is the best thing to do (if you email, expect it to take a while; best bet is to ring them).
Note that most electronic products don’t provide any means f flashing them with new firmware at all.
a case of internet fever … seen it posted somewhere, not read the full instructions or why it was issued … and then after things go wrong, blame the manufacturer.
and this isn’t sucking up, but DJTT staff have been nothing other than helpful with any of my enquiries, believe me there’s some really sh***y companies out there who should be banned from making anything other than a cup of tea!
Breath in, breath out …relax
i didnt think i was “flashing” (aka “erasing”??) my midifighter when i used the updater. i simply had the thought process of when you buy any electronic thing nowadays:
-comes out of box with factory settings, so you prolly need to find the latest updates
-found updater
-broke (“updated”) my midifighter
i did however figure out that if you go into the midifighter menu and go to 7, analog, and push on all 4 lights, that the faders and stuff work again.
they should just have a better updater that lets you tell it which midifighter you have, or lets you point it at a hex file though. the fact that their updater points to ONE hex file is retarded.
im sure theyve helped you before, JSM, but ive never gotten any useful help from DJTT, only headaches. 
perhaps a different approach is required.
anyone getting angry with me always gets sent to the end of the line …niceness costs nothing.
I see they are working on a new updater, hopefully this will rescue yours, but in the short time you have to wait, try the (almost very) cool “keyboard” MF, no it’s not the best, but it dos get access to most of those lovely super combos
does anyone have a fix for this? or can someone put a write-up of the “tedious process” por favor!? I beg you!
hey
i fixed it by holding the top left button of the midifighter and plugging it in, that enters midifighter’s menu or some shit
then you hit the last button (#7, if you count across the top row then across the second row down) and i then turned “on” all 4 lights that appeared on the following menu.
this got the fx and stuff to work in traktor pro.
i actually got the menu 7 to work but there are no presets.. i tried flashing it again… ya i know… and now it wont update. SMH! whats the best way to contact staff in order to get this resolved?.. figured they’d have a fix by now…
Don’t flash or try to update your MF Pro…simple!
If you do you will turn it into a classic and you won’t be able to use the faders pots and fx bank buttons
And if you do you will have to contact support to fix it
You can update your MF only if it’s a classic!
The MF Pro updater is still to be released, don’t ask me when as I don’t know that information
