Japanese turntablist duo Hifana have some pretty good finger drumming chops of their own as they show in their live sets made up of MPC’s, turntables, and CDJ’s. They keep Korg Kaoss Pads around for effects and even some live drums and drum pads to splash organic sounds into the mix. The only MIDI specific controller in this setup is the padKontrol though it’s likely triggering samples off their MPC, a popular move if your pads are worn out or you want to double your playing surface. This video from their last DVD takes you up close and personal with their gear via spy cams mounted on their hats and fingers!
For their new DVD and album 24H which dropped this past July it looks like they’ve embraced their MIDI controllers and USB capabilities. Wonder what software they’re using…?
