Last month we started a contest that challenged all of our readers to use the samples from the video above and re-arrange them in their own unique way with any controller. It was my hope that people would be inspired and take the clips to an entirely new level. I am very happy to share the winning entries with you. Several people came up with arrangements and performances that might have even smoked mine!
Winner
I love this video because the timing is clean and the passages would be very hard to pull off. Most importantly this video had one of the best musical arrangements. Each section has its own unique flavor and each verse flows very cleanly into the chorus. Overall a solid, musical performance with 4 decks and one controller- exactly what I was looking for!
The Winner will get a brand new Midi-Fighter DIY kit, which are finally going to be back in the store by June 10th.
Runner Up
The drumming here is really good, and I really like the chopped up hip hop feel. The only thing it lacks is the great musical arrangement from the video above. One small suggestion would be shortening the performance. I would have wrapped it up at 1:10 with a nice finish for a solid video.
The Runner up gets a free Midi-Fighter T
Honorable Mentions
Loved the Piano style!
This guy killed it with the intro. Amazingly fast 2 handed playing. Someone get him some arcade buttons though- because those BCD buttons must have been a pain on the wrist.
A tweed midi-fighter- gotta love that 🙂
Harmonizing the vocals- brilliant!
