Complete Control

Four banks of 16 high-resolution encoders with a configurable button on every knob. Little space, lots of control.

Multi colored LED rings that provide clear feedback on a knob's position. Always know what's happening without getting lost in the software.

Easy to Integrate

Compact and completely USB-powered, the Midi Fighter Twister is easy to fit into any gear bag and integrate into every work flow.

Configure & Customize

The MF Utility software allows you to customize everything including LED Color and switch styles for advanced control.

DAW Buddy

With 64 flexible knobs and buttons, this is the most compact and powerful studio controller for automation out there!

Traktor Sequencer

The Twister comes with a hardware step sequencer designed for Traktor that turns a remix deck into a powerful drum machine.

"This is a NICE piece of hardware. What do I love... the strong resistance of the knobs, the sturdy feel of the button click, the variable sensitivity, the array of functionality within each knob and button, the way the detent is colored pink, the fact that it's small enough to fit on my keyboard. I use it with Ableton to control live FX for my keys rig. Highly recommend – yesbergerplease"

"I'm sooo psyched on the Twister, it's helping me get control over a strained setup of multiple IOS devices (running Synth One, Troublemaker and Animoog), a Minikorg and Ableton. I'm not there yet but getting closer each day ( I should prob RTFM). Endlessly versatile and adaptive, this will relieve that knob twiddling itch and add a tactile satisfaction to an otherwise non-gratifying touch surface device. I was initially concerned about redundancy of this with my Push2, but I feel that each can hold it's own with a dedicated purpose. I added some Chroma caps to help me remember the functions and Chroma cables to help makes sense of the train wreck of wiring I got goin'. Get it, give it a chance and you'll wonder how you got along without it. -Wayneward Distractions"

"Man look...I'd put off grabbing a Midi Fighter Twister for long enough. As Popeye would say, "That's all I can stands, I can't stands no more!" With wondrous potential at the fingertips, its functionality, power and control, when melded with Traktor's remix decks is phenomenal and literally inspires new life and inspiration into my mixes and production style. It urges creativity. Every dj and production setup should have one! Thanks DJTT"

"Fantastic product, Build quality is great. This is the perfect device for a step sequencer in Traktor. It is better than my D2 for this. I wish I bought on sooner if is fantastic. Highly recommended. "

"High quality build and tons of focus on the most miniscule detail. It feels sturdy and nice to the touch. The encoders are smooth and the LED lighting is vibrant. I wasn't even expecting the indentation underneath - which makes carrying it easier, but is the perfect side to tuck and carry the associated USB cable. Love it, thank you!"

"What is there to say? There are basically no other options for 16 high-quality encoders with visual feedback in a MIDI controller. The out-of-production BCR-2000 is the closest animal, and it's bigger, more expensive, and no longer being supported or updated. This is a no-brainer if you need more knobs."

"It's really something unique. I purchased this product after seeing it mentioned in a blog that described using midi translation software to utilize midi controllers for editing photos. I had always wanted to have physical dials to control all the settings in photo editing and this one looked to be the perfect controller. Fast shipping across the country, and great supporting software as well. This controller has worked great for me and the more I learn within the midi translation software (Bome), the more useful the controller becomes and I'm still only using bank 1! There's 3 more banks plus the side buttons!! So versatile. The colors of the LEDs are superb as well. You can tell that a lot of thought and engineering went into this device. I like this controller so much that I ordered a Midi Fighter 3D to complement it, and to start learning some sampling controls in Ableton and Traktor. Not to mention that both controllers will be used to produce my live streams by controlling the scene switching and graphics! Powerful stuff!! "

"Probably the most versatile piece of midi equipment I have at the moment. Awesome buy. "
