The Midi Fighter Twister Hardware
This section describes the hardware & MIDI operation of the Midi Fighter Twister in detail and
should be used as a reference when creating your own MIDI mapping in your software of
choice.
This section assumes that the reader is already familiar with the basics of the MIDI protocol.
Introduction
The Midi Fighter Twister consists of 16 encoders each with an integrated push switch, and 6
side buttons.
Each encoder has a display consisting of 11 white LEDs to indicate the current control value
or position, a large RGB segment which indicates the switch state, and a red/blue LED to
indicate detent state.
The Midi Fighter Twister firmware makes it possible to access up four virtual ‘Banks’ or
‘groups’ of encoders. To access the virtual banks ensure that some of the side buttons are
configured for bank change actions in the Midi Fighter Utility Software.
Each of the 16 encoders will send a different message in each bank, allowing access of up to
64 unique encoder & switch controls across the 4 banks.
For a full description of the bank operation refer to the virtual bank section.
