    Yup. You can configure it in the MF Utility software.

    There is no physical detent, only a larger region where the output will be set to middle value and the middle Led in the ring will change colour.

    It feels like a pretty good attempt at a detent, I prefer it in many ways to an actual physical one.

    Hope that helps.

    I've always thought that DETENTED means a series of clicks when you turn an ("clicky") encoder, and DENTED means the physical STOP at 12 'o' clock on a NON-DETENTED encoder (like on a mixers EQ).

    But - I HAVE been known to be wrong in the past, fellas...

    I've always used detent to refer to any points where it clicks into place. So EQ pots tend to have a centre detent and the NI encoders have 30 (I think).

    The Twister encoders can be set to mimic the centre detent only.

    Ok. Now it is more clear.

    Thanks!
