Four different models are available, which offer variations on the same basic concept:

  • Beat Masher

  • Super Knob
  • XX Fader

Key Features:

  • Robust metal casing
  • Chip proof surface
  • High performance arcade buttons
  • Bright blue LEDs
  • MIDI controllable mode buttons
  • Rugged faders and knobs
  • Smooth high performance surface
  • Analog controls send super knob values out of the box
  • Digital buttons send super combo values out of the box
  • Trade in program for existing Midi Fighter owners
In addition to offering the four models, multiple color options are available for the buttons.

wht song is this? 


BelfonteFurnace 07-May-12 09:53 PM

Very true, though im not really debating witch one to get. just stating how they are different. All about user preference and of course the users budget.


DeeJayFl0 07-May-12 07:51 PM

your correct, however Mashine can be used the same as this, you can use it also as a midi controller, so essentially it can do EVERYTHING this can do, so my recommendation would be to just fork out the extra 100 bucks and get the Mashine mikro and have a dual purpose unit rather than just a midi.


qgwueirbtbyo 23-Apr-12 06:38 AM

what control is best for beginners?It does not have to be a midi fighter brand, any brand as long as it is beginner friendly:]


DJabSRD 14-Apr-12 07:57 PM

Anyone run this with an S4? Would like to but wondering how they overlap through the software.


monkeyfire320 11-Apr-12 11:49 PM

I'm new, can you use the MF interchangeably with an MPC?


tinagetchel 11-Apr-12 06:08 PM

i've been doing my homework on dj equipment, and found this thing! it looks really cool!


Merutochan 03-Apr-12 09:12 PM

THUMBS FUCKING UP FOR ANAMANAGUCHI AND RAC


devpaintball1 03-Apr-12 05:00 PM

do u need turntables to use this? or can u just hook it up to ur computer? 


fastfingers2009 03-Apr-12 03:28 PM

Hey Guys, got some questions: Does this thing have a preset Mapping? If so, is it compatible to be used together with an S2 without problems? I basicly want to control FX with the Midifighter.


the72pins 02-Apr-12 09:52 PM

love that anamanaguchi remix.


pmGOdrums 02-Apr-12 06:46 PM

i want this so bad . just to be sure i did some finger drumming on an old "turtles in time" video game on a gig last friday. Maybe i just hung in too many arcades as a kid, but those buttons felt more natural to me for playing beats than any pads i've ever come across . waiting to find out more about the 3d though before i decide. djtechtools rules.


ChurbroNZ 01-Apr-12 09:56 AM

I ordered one, can't wait until I get it!


BlackSGMan 31-Mar-12 02:15 AM

MIDI Fighter is cheaper and basically does the same shit.


DekkaHD 24-Mar-12 07:15 PM

Are they compatible with the Allen & Heath Xone 42?!


Rastaapple 19-Mar-12 05:57 AM

Works midi fighter pro with any sequencing software? Like ableton 8 or propellerhead reason 6?


aanrander 19-Mar-12 01:07 AM

wat een kanker ding


fastmekillyou123 16-Mar-12 04:02 PM

It's a remix of Airbrushed by Anamanaguchi


jackofclubz 15-Mar-12 07:29 PM

Great product but let me get this straight...

Your going to fucking make me pay $200 for an item and then make me figure out how to do "secret combinations"? What the fuck kind of marketing strategy is that? If that is how you are marketing this, then go fuck yourself. I'll just get an X1 and an F1 and not from your site either thank you.


fanboyvalorofficial 15-Mar-12 08:22 AM

im drooling...


Reallifetothemax 13-Mar-12 09:14 PM

i had the same issue, get a machine first, it does more. than get a midi fighter later


Reallifetothemax 13-Mar-12 09:10 PM

JUST ORDERED !!!!!


Kabzoer 12-Mar-12 04:59 PM

maschine


SovietMaca 11-Mar-12 04:06 PM

What song is this? o:


wallang 05-Mar-12 09:15 AM

two completely different things


TheTweeker79 01-Mar-12 02:53 PM

Boo!! 


BelfonteFurnace 01-Mar-12 02:09 PM

Maschine and the MIDI fighter are two very different concepts.. Maschine is an all in one hardware/software music production system. You run it with the provided software. The MIDI fighter is a standalone MIDI controller that you can use in any DAW or DJ software. Essientially the MIDI fighter is a DJ controller for Serato, tracktor etc (atleast thats what it is targeted towards) and Maschine is used to produce music. 2 different concepts, 2 different purposes.


israel0823 01-Mar-12 07:57 AM

whats the difference between the MF Beatmasher and the MF Cue master? 


djdokser 26-Feb-12 12:29 PM

Hello, my name is Phillip and i am a 17 years old PRODUCER... i am trying to get to TOP50 REMIX COMPETITION of BEYONCE official site, i would like if you would HELP ME and SUPPORT ME (of course if you LIKE my REMIX) and THUMB UP THIS, so more people can see this...CONNECT-----------> soundcloud . com / d-toks / beyonc -end -of-time -d-toks VOTE endoftime . beyonceonline . com / tracks / 1542 THANK YOU VERY MUCH, and sorry for the bad english.....


ttoxique 25-Feb-12 07:39 PM

Maschine has velocity control. Necessary if you ever want to do dynamic drums.

In the end, you'd just buy this for the aesthetic.


lukepamphlett 16-Feb-12 08:48 PM

Maschine always


balldip 14-Feb-12 02:25 AM

if it was $150 or cheaper i'd buy it


4tun3dBACK 11-Feb-12 04:47 PM

go with the maschine.....it costs a bit more, but IMO its much better..


TheDjflb 05-Feb-12 05:10 PM

please view my midi fighter pro mix on my channel! would be great!


DJVC1993 04-Feb-12 06:11 PM

i ve got a maschine, it's awesome. That toy in the video is just so LIMITED, you cant do shit with it


DJTOfficial6 26-Jan-12 03:35 PM

MASCHINE 


TheDjflb 25-Jan-12 04:12 PM

if you want to see my midi fighter por beatmasher in action go on my chanel and view the mix!


TheLouification 25-Jan-12 12:40 PM

Maschine mikro is great for studio but live you need to make your own midi setup. the Maschine (the big one) is also great live


thefamilyk 25-Jan-12 04:26 AM

COOL I GOT THIS NOW I NEED TO LEARN HOW TO DEE JAY


SamSwagert 25-Jan-12 03:22 AM

and for only $350 you could have some buttons and a fader!


lumo1 24-Jan-12 01:19 AM

NI Maschine


LimboyMusic 23-Jan-12 03:45 PM

The sole reason this video makes me want a Midi Fighter is because of Anamanaguchi.


TheDjflb 18-Jan-12 04:55 PM

please view my midi fighter mix on my channel! i am a begginer dj and i just want to get some where with my djing, so please give me a chance and just view and like my vid thanks!!thumbs up so everone can see!


gabymac09 17-Jan-12 05:44 AM

Maschine if you want to produce... MF if you want to beatjuggle and do crazy FX live (and other essential dj stuff)


SuperGabbyz 14-Jan-12 04:40 AM

can this be used with serato? 


DiagramOfTruth 10-Jan-12 11:30 AM
