We don’t consider ourselves anything more than human iPods when it comes to “DJing” parties, but that doesn’t make the upcoming Midi Fighter Twister from DJ Tech Tools any less awesome. DJ Tech Tools built the entire project around community submitted designs and ended up with a MIDI controller with more knobs, buttons and lights than we would honestly ever know what to do with. If you’re into digital mixing–especially if you happen to use Traktor–the Midi Fighter Twister is definitely something you should check out. Each of the 16 knobs is designed for good tactile feel and functions as an encoder with push state, surrounded by an 11-position LED ring with a large RGB status indicator at the base. It also functions as a four channel step sequencer with Traktor software. They also managed to make it completely USB-powered, so you don’t even need a wall adapter. The amount of ear candy you can create with the Midi Fighter Twister is pretty much endless.
