Midi Fighter 3D walkthrough

The Midi Fighter 3D went on sale last night at a very reasonable $249. Of course, I already have mine after winning it in a contest. People often come up to me on the street and they're like, "Hey, so what does the Midi Fighter 3D do?" Actually, that never happens. But DJTT did post a handy walkthrough video that explains the features quite well. Check it out.

Midi Fighter 3D unboxing

Finally received the Midi Fighter 3D in the mail that I won in this contest. I was inspired to make a quick and messy unboxing video, the first unboxing video of an MF3D on the interwebz!

Evolution of my Midifighter

Gotta love how customizable this bitch is. For some reason I can't get over this bank of arcade buttons. Must have something to do with my childhood years spent in arcades coupled with my fetishizing of midi gear. The Midifighter I won in May started with a clear top and exposed sides.

Since then I've rearranged the buttons slightly, installed a shiny black top, and added a silicone case around the edges. (Thanks dictionarys0up for the case!)

Next step, installing an LED that blinks to the beat.
