Complete Control
Four banks of 16 high-resolution endless encoders with a configurable push switch on every knob. This dedicated knob MIDI controller gives you serious control in a small space.
Dynamic LED Feedback
Multi colored LED rings provide clear feedback on every knob's position. Always know what's happening in your software without looking at the screen.
Easy to Integrate
Compact and completely USB-powered, this encoder controller fits into any gear bag and integrates into every workflow. No drivers, no wall adapter.
Deep Customization
The free Midi Fighter Utility lets you customize what each knob and button does. Assign any MIDI CC, note, or channel. Configure LED colors, speed, and acceleration.
Three In One
On the Twister one knob can equal up to three controls, giving you a lot of power in a small space. Use shift layers to double your parameters without adding gear.
Automatic Mapping
On Mac computers the Twister will automatically turn any knob you select with your cursor. No more mapping hassles.
Always In Sync
Adjust a knob in Ableton, and the encoder will instantly update to reflect the change. Only endless encoders can do this.
Your Versatile Friend
Each encoder can be three different styles of knob, and is always there for you when you need it.
16 Encoders = 64 knobs
Because encoders change position as you switch pages (unlike fixed knobs) you actually get 64 controls in one tiny space.
