**Twister Looper – a looping workstation built around the MIDI Fighter Twister**

Hey everyone,

**As a new user, I apparently can’t upload attachments yet—could an admin please enable this for my account so I can share the project files here?**

I’ve been building **Twister Looper** , a project for Windows and Ableton Live 12 Suite that puts the MIDI Fighter Twister at the centre of a complete looping setup.

The idea is simple: record something, bring in existing clips, reshape the groove and perform with it—all from one interface, with the Twister giving you useful feedback under your hands.

**What’s inside:**

- **Four independent loop players** , each with selectable inputs, volume, clip gain and stereo meters before and after the effects.

- **Four clip slots per player** for keeping variations ready. Drag clips between slots, bring files in from the browser and drag your results back into Ableton.

- **An integrated waveform editor** with movable loop boundaries, cue points, grid snapping, zoom and endless jog control. Shorten phrases, shift their timing or build polyrhythms.

- **Pitch and tuning controls** with Sync, Master/Slave operation, half/double speed, Key Lock and independent semitone transposition.

- **31 internal effects plus three DJ filter types** , selectable per slot, with encoder-push functions and several signal-routing options.

- **External FX mapping** for both encoder rotation and push, including parameter names, values and matching LED-ring feedback.

- **Separate headphone cueing** , session saving, Quick Saves and a browser with favourites.

The controller has four software banks: **LOOPS → FX INT → FX EXT → CLIPS**. Native Mode handles the colours and LED rings, while active transport functions pulse with the beat. The interface remains usable without the controller too.

One feature I particularly like is taking an edited loop—with its timing offset and chosen boundaries—and dragging that version straight back into Live. There are separate Pre-FX and Post-FX export options.

**Current requirements:** Windows, Ableton Live 12 Suite with Max for Live, and a MIDI Fighter Twister with compatible Native beta firmware. The setup is based on **Midi Fighter Utility 3.0b**. FFmpeg is installed separately through the link provided in the installer.

The installation starts completely empty: no bundled music, samples or external VSTs.

**A personal note before you try it:**

I’m not a programmer. This project came together through days of testing, trial and error, and long—sometimes quite painstaking—discussions with ChatGPT/Codex.

I hope it works on other computers, but I can only speak for my own setup. I can’t guarantee compatibility, reliability or a trouble-free installation elsewhere.

**Please don’t send me technical support requests.** I simply don’t have the programming knowledge or capacity to troubleshoot other people’s systems. This is a personal project I’m sharing, rather than a supported product.

You’re welcome to experiment with it, modify it and develop it further in whatever direction interests you. Ideas, improvements and shared experiences are welcome—just please approach it as a project to explore and build on.

**I will upload the files as soon as possible.**
