3. Open Ableton Live

4. Go to Preferences > Midi/Sync

5. Go to the Midi Ports section and turn Remote on for the input and output of the Midi Fighter. You will also need to turn Track and Sync of the Midi Fighter to be able to use the sequencer. More information about what this means

Traktor

1. Download the Midi Fighter Utility, it is an essential tool for configuring and updating your Midi Fighter

2. Plug in your Midi Fighter Twister via USB (not to a USB hub) and follow the onscreen instructions on the utility.

3. Once the firmware is up to date you need to download one of the mappings available here

4. Import your mapping.

  • If you are using only one controller, click the big "Import" button in the Preferences menu ("Import" is between "Export" and "Setup Wizard") and check all available boxes under "Select Categories to Import"
  • If you are using your Midi Fighter Twister with another controller read this article importing multiple TSI files

6. If your effects aren't working correctly, then you need to import the effects settings a second time (this is a well-known issue with Traktor mappings). Use the same big "Import" button. Import the .TSI file again and only check "Effects Settings" when the "Select Categories to Import" screen appears.Traktor Sequencer guides:
