A midifighter is a midi controller made up of 16 arcade buttons (slightly smaller than your standard arcade ones) on a light frame that connects to your PC or Mac via USB. This controller talks to your DJ software, in this case, Traktor Pro -- and with the aid of different mappings you can create something out of nothing.
Check out this demo video I did using the Deckalized mapping and below is the Instant Gratification mapping.
On Friday 28th January, Melonfarmer and myself were lucky enough to catch one of UK (if not the world) leading Drum n Bass DJ's Andy C with his partner in crime MC GQ. This duo have been touring Australia for 10 years, however, this was the first time they had been to Brisbane. Having seen our city ravaged by the floods only weeks earlier, people were in a mood to party and give at the same time, with $2.50 per person being donated to the cause.
Anyway, I've tried to capture the entire vibe of the night in this 19 minute video made from photos and video taken by myself and Melonfarmer. Enjoy!
