So, I just got a midifighter twister that I essentially just use as a simple controller (MIDI CC out from the knobs and the switches, no super knobs, no sequencing, nothing fancy like that) just for Presonus Studio One 3.
I have two main problems that limit the functionality of the Twister for me...
The first is that it keeps not being discovered by Windows on startup. Specifically, when I turn my computer on the twister doesn't do the little startup animation, then it loads up and the twister looks fine but Windows gives me a 'device not detected' message. Every single time I want to use the Twister I have to unplug it and plug it back in and then the twister does the little start up animation and then and only then does it get detected by Windows and finally work.
The second and bigger issue is that in Studio One 3 I will instruct Studio One 3 to transmit the midi values of VSTi's to the MIDI Fighter Twister and this works without flaw on the LEDs that correspond to the knob but the long LED that corresponds to the switch behaves erratically. If Studio One 3 sends midi to the switches then I start to erratic behavior with the long LEDs where when I switch through different banks I end up with the LED Settings (the colors I choose specifically per bank) being all mixed up and even in some extreme cases the LED pattern from one bank being "copied over" the LED pattern over another bank. Also what I find is that when I am sending midi messages from Studio One 3 to the switches the little white LEDs that correspond to the knob will flicker slightly sometimes.
How do I resolve these issues?
Also, newbie question but do I really need to download and install a 'mapping' (as instructed here http://djtechtools.com/midi-fighter-setup/ ) for the twister considering that I just want 64 knobs and switches (across four banks) sending and receiving midi cc and nothing more?
