Twister reset values crooked

Twister reset values crooked

Hi, when pushing a knob button to reset a parameter in FL Studio, the result is never accurate.
(This is with detent) Pitch, Pan etc. The knob never returns to exactly the middle, and that’s a big problem.
Especially for functions that are disabled when in the middle, but enabled when the knob is tweaked (LFO amount for example). If a pitch knob is even slightly off, the instrument doesn’t sound in tune. This issue happens with any bipolar parameter in FL Studio.

I assume this is because the MIDI values can only be 0 to 128 (or 1 to 127). There is no exact middle value for either of those ranges. I think Image Line had fixed that problem by converting that range to a 0-100 system. So their mouse reset features always work perfectly.

Is there a work around for this? Or are my knobs always going to be messed up using the Twister?

Reset with the Twister knob:

Reset with the mouse:

For values 0-128, 64 is dead center.

For values 1-127, 64 is still dead center.

Hey Trev,

Can you give a little more info such as:

  1. Do you use CC Encoder or 3Fh encoder?
  2. Which effect/plugin are you working with? (the one in your provided pics)

Thanks!

LOL.
Zero is a value in 0-128. So there are 129 values. 64.5 is centre.
1 to 127 includes 1 in the total, so it’s 127 values, not 128. 63.5 is centre.

They are all CC’s. I’ve never changed them away from that; don’t know what 3Fh is. I just checked, and the encoder settings say CC.

The example pics are the volume LFO module in the FL Studio sampler instrument settings tab.
But any knob is the same result.
I’ve asked Image Line too, but haven’t got an answer yet.

Thanks for providing additional info!
I tested and duplicated the same result as yours… Than I changed the Mapping Formula to "Center dead zone (small) which fixed it for me.

PERFECT! I love you, thanks.
It also provides a slight pause when crossing the zero line, too.
I should have known a formula would fix it. Thank you!

Happy to help =)

Stay safe out there!

I was referring to where FLStudio reads the center dead zone.

Just trying a midi fighter twister for the first time today, and I’m having a similar issue in Ableton Live. I mapped the midi fighter twister knob to an auto filter in DJ style mode. When I press the knob to reset, it doesn’t reset to the center. Instead it reset to a low, low-pass around 100hz. Is there a way to adjust the reset position in Ableton?
Thanks.

Are you using the “Center Detent” setting for the knob?
