    Just got my MF twister and i'm having the same issue. Encoders continue to send bank 1 CC#s 0-15 and encoder values while on other banks. The only thing changing are the encoder colors.

    Hm ok I re-loaded the factory firmware and that seemed to get banks working again.
    Hopefully the problem won't happen again!

    Yes, this is it ! I just got a Midifighter twister and was having this same problem. By opening the Midifighter Utility, you can go to Tools > Midifigther > Load factory firmware and pick the first one: Midi Fighter Twister (2 Oct 2019). Apparently the 2, 3 and 4 just change the name of the device (for use when you have multiple twisters)

    I too had the same problem with firmware 02Oct2019 . Reloading the same firmware 02Oct2019 solved the problem! Hopefully forever!

    Bank 2-4 shows up with the right color but when I press the knobs they switch to Bank 1 colors and never gets back..

    Was this ever solved? Still no fix for this anywhere? Newest firmware 2019. Did I miss anything else of importance regarding DJ Techtools, updates, firmware, and the Midi Twister?

    I am on a Macbook pro M1 2021.

    (edit: typo)
    One of the many issues I hadf with the brand new twister I got yesterday. Per Stevan, they don't currentlyt have a developer working on the project, so no fixes are coming unfortunately. Sucks cause the 3D was such a solid piece of kit. :-(

    Default disappointed

    Just got my Twister. Shipping was very fast, but very disappointed by the firmware. Basically, banks don't work -- all banks revert to bank 1's off color when switch pressed, and while encoder settings for banks 2-4 appear to be saved to the device, the device uses bank 1 settings always.

    Best to treat banks as if they do not exist. This seems like a pretty big problem, given the website and the manual assume it works. Is a 1-bank Twister worth what they charge? Maybe? Depends. Missing firmware features don't detract from the quality of the knobs and chassis.

    Blame the pandemic, blame whatever, my guess is that the company is basically walking dead. They have a bunch of units from a production run that they sell but don't have the capital to hire a contractor or do much new development, update the website, or anything. I can sympathize. But when I realized the state of things reading this thread, it still really left a bad taste. I'm still on the fence as to whether to keep or return mine.

    There aren't a lot of other options: Intech EN16? Faderfox? Shik? Akai? Arturia? None of them great. Maybe the Intech comes closest, but they're another small startup, who knows how long they'll be around or what issues their product has?

    Hey Agrover,

    Could you please see the following support article and verify that reloading the firmware fixes the bank issue? Thank you.
