Midi Fighter Spectra
Posted on: 03.11.2013 by Candi Winnie
Hi there,

I got my Midi Fighter Spectra this week and I want to know if I can use this in the Maschine software?
I couldn't find any good Ableton mappings and I'm really new to Ableton..

Also, would you recommend Ableton or any other software for fingerdrumming?

Thanks in advance!

Just substitute the MF utility for the QuNeo editor in this video.

Thank you for this, but it doesn't work?

When I look into the MF Utility, I get "90 24 7F" as response.. I can't enter that..
If I go to Traktor and check which key it sends, it gives me C2 for the bottom left button, but it doesn't react..

Also, I reset my MF to the factory settings.. Loaded the Mad Zach Murda Pack and it doesn't trigger ANYTHING..

All Midi Fighters map automatically to Ableton's drum racks, all you need is to enable it's Track In in the MIDI preferences and arm the track with the samples loaded. You can use it's trial for 30 days before deciding if it's good enough for you and shell out money for it.
I've put the MF back to Factory settings.. Set the Input to MF and then I see the input turning orange.. Is there some way to reset Ableton to standard settings?

Thank you for your reply.
Yes I signed up and I've also bought the volume 1 and 2 with the Spectra.
I don't get it to work though.. I've loaded the mapping onto the MF and put the folder Spectra_Launcher in the correct folder, but it doesn't trigger any samples..
