Good generic controller

aftino, 03.08.2018

I bought the Twister mainly to be able to control soft-synth parametres within Maschine live - as my controller for Maschine is the Mikro Mk2 - hence it lacks the hardware rotary encoders needed for me to be able to manipulate synth patches from Massive in real-time during a jam.

Hardware-wise, I can't fault it - it's of really really high quality - and durable to the extent that I've incorporated it into my live Maschine rig.

My gripe with it pertains to the software - it's really cumbersome, counterintuitive and not properly documented - hence initial setup does take a bit of tinkering.

Once you've got it going, though, it does go without a hitch - Maschine recognized it each time and has accurately mapped each Learn command to the Twister's encoders each and every time.

I would have expected - for the price, at least - that the software would have been a bit more frictionless.

excellent

19.07.2014

I use the twister to control 1-2 instruments/channels/racks in ableton and it just works..

Pros:

- Very simple 1 color + 1 value per knob style makes it easy and fast to design midi/instrument mapping setups.

- Works great with Ableton live out of the box with the regular midi mapping mode (no scripts or m4l) and correctly displays the value coming from live as well.

- It stands firmly on slippy surfaces which not all medium/small sized controllers do.

Cons:

- The configuration software is a bit buggy, especially when modifying several knobs at once. It's just a bit tedious to work with at times, the end result is the same.

- On my unit one of the knobs has a slightly different twist resistance than the others but not enough to be a real problem. I guess that the resistance will even out after a few months of use.

Useful controller for knob freaks

djoek, 10.11.2019

I love my Twister, especially for live performances and in combination with a launchpad, it gives you all the control to tweak your sound to your audience on the fly. Also, since it's a class compliant device, you can use it to control other stuff like lightroom with a bit of hacking :) build quality is great, lots of modding options. If there's one downside is that the control software on windows is fickle

Piece of art!

DJTT, 16.05.2019

Midi Fighter Twister is a great flexible knob-based controller that i have used for FX and sequencer. I received the product within 15 days and i have been glued to this controller since then. Now that i have used this product, I'd love to buy another to dedicate it to control Traktor sequencer for remix decks. Rightly said, "These are NOT your average knobs."
