The DJ Techtools Midi Fighter Twister is the brother of the popular Midi Fighter 3D, which now enjoys cult status among Dj's, finger drummers and performers. For maximum control over all MIDI controllable parameters, the robust controller features 16 high-quality, high-resolution push encoders including visual Feedback by illuminated LED wreaths with 11 positions. All LED colours and functions are MIDI controllable and can be freely configured through the Midi Fighter Utility software. Standard on board is an innovative Step Sequencer for Traktor Pro, which in combination with the Remix Decks turns the DJ software into a powerful groove production tool. Power is supplied entirely via USB, and thanks to its compact dimensions, the Midi Fighter Twister fits into any gig bag.
Software is partly buggy (could be it is not following recent changes with system updates - can lag behind changes and quite a mess when changing between different presets, and when switching between installs on different machines: ought to import the last setting from the former location to keep the setting up to date as it is not updating two way). Encoders feel impressive at the first touch, but do jump + - a step if touched under a slight angle. Not all the encoders are exhibiting the same friction - some are much lighter to rotate but the others.
