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
Anonymous 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.

If you use Traktor only in my opinion this is overated
Pigs are Flying 17.08.2021
I use a Traktor Z2, two X1;s and two F1's, in my opinion you can do everything this can with my combination,
It's not at all intuitive and has to be learnt, which of course you have to do with other controllers, but this is harder.Push the side buttons and it moves around.
I know a lot will not like my opinion, but my money could have been better spent on something else.
The build quality can't be faulted.

Finally, just many knobs!
Aidar K 22.05.2021
Smart, but simple device. Finally, I found device with many knobs and nothing else.

They are not just knobs, actually, because it's a buttons too.

Very handy device in any studio. Build quality is good, everything works perfectly and immediate. You get slightly more than what you see but you don't to learn this device. Just twist!

High quality & feature-packed: I want two!
thejoerevolt 06.04.2018
I really don't understand why other manufacturers don't try to compete with this product spec - it's ideal.

I've used this for touring & studio use for several years - it's light, reliable, really programmable, looks cool, *feels* great and packs a lot of functionality.

The editor software is a little fiddly, but I've used far worse.

Cons: It could be cheaper and the side function buttons are quite hard to access

Highly recommended, nonetheless.

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."

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

Midi Fighter is a compact and powerful midi
Anonymous 10.04.2016
I'm using this midi controller already 2 years in every live performance that i play. The small size plus the light weight make it very portable to everywhere , when the nice design with the colorful lights make it suitable for every Dj or producer. My personal opinion is that the company did very good job to the mechanical part, however the price is high just for a midi controller with 16 knobs. Summing up is a handy tool for live or studio purposes, with a lot of midi functions, in a small size but a little bit pricey.

a very intuitive controller for any occasion
ipnoteca 20.09.2019
I mainly use as usb controller over ableton DAW to control allover parameters. i also enjoy to use as a "usb mixer" to have a quick control over volumes. the unit is build like a thank, it feels very solid even if it's a light weight controller, also the touch feel of knobs is amazing! love the smooth material used. the software to configure the midi fighter is very easy to use and to configure, allow the use to make it's very personal and unique controller ready for any kind of set up. the only thing i don't like much since i have set up many configuration at once, is that i have to remember all the side button combination to change settings. beside this the controller is perfect! being also so small and portable is a big plus for small studio or even for travelling.

Needs time to map but it's amazing!

If you are familiar with mapping midi controllers and making them control what you need and want, get this. It's crazy fun!
