MIDI Fighter Twister
The DJ TechTools MIDI Fighter Twister is a compact live performance controller with 16 endless encoders, each with a push switch, an 11-segment LED ring, and an RGB indicator. Modulaser's default mapping uses two banks: one for live clip sculpting, one for output group mixing.
Plug in via USB, enable the device in Settings > Devices, and the default mapping loads automatically. Switch banks with the middle side buttons. Every mapping below can be customized through MIDI learn.

The six side buttons are shared across both banks.
