You have 4 banks that are accessible two ways. One is through small recessed side buttons.
Unfortunately I find them a bit weird to work with.
I guess they would just take some getting used to. I want to add to that the fact that Twister also sports an accelerometer based midi controller option. That means you can lift it from your desk and control a few things with its up down xy movement (It has been brought to my attention that I wrote this in error. Indeed Twister does not have an accelerometer function. However the Midi Fighter 3D does have this fumctionality) I am sorry for any confusion.
I myself prefer to maintain the controller in a modular style side by side configuration on my workstation.
Which leads me to
the second way to access the four banks is through Midi control. basically, Twister receives certain midi notes through a predefined midi channel and voila! You have bank change!
Initially I spoke with Mattias in depth about this matter. He even created four ableton clips for this purpose. That worked! But whenever I launched the clips then of course Ableton’s transport would play. I might not want that! All I want to do is change the banks on the Twister without pressing play!
I decided that I wanted more flexibility. So, i called upon my brave Max 4 Live crew to develop a solution.
