If you use Traktor only in my opinion this is overated

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!

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!

Useful controller for knob freaks

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

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!

a very intuitive controller for any occasion

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.

Piece of art!

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."

Good generic controller

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.
