There may be some MIDI detection issue, faulty device, but need more info.

Does it work with any other application ? E.g. the Midi Fighter Utility ? Did you successfully upload the mfs file to the device ?
Can you check if the device is properly detected using MIDIOX http://www.midiox.com/?http://www.midiox.com/moxdown.htm (menu -> Options -> Midi devices)

You can also do the following..
- Open VDJ, goto Settings->OPTIONS and enable (set to Yes) createMidiLog setting
- Close VDJ, make sure the MFT is properly connected and open VDj again.
- Close VDJ again.
- Post here the content of the generated file Log Rport.txt you will find in /Documents/VirtualDJ folder

For some reason, your Midi Fighter Twister has incorrect PID.
The factory values are ..vid="0x2580" pid="0x0007" while yours has ... pid="0x3007"
Not sure how this happened, not aware of any way to change the products USB VID/PID, so you will need to contact DJTechTools and explain the issue, in case they have a way to correct this.

If for any case, they say that it's some other version of the same model (like some MKII version) that we need to support, please ask them to contact us.

Hi thank you it worked I am so happy thank you very much for your help.


(DJ TechTools)

Thanks for reaching out to DJ TechTools.
Sorry to hear that configuring your Twister is giving you a bit of trouble. It is likely that your Twister has a special firmware installed on it (the one for multiple twisters).

Please follow the steps below to install factory firmware. After that, Virtual DJ will be able to recognice the unit.

Download and install the latest version of the MF Utility for your OS: Windows / OS X
Download the Recovery Firmware file and unzip it, it will give you a *.hex file. Don't open it, you'll do that in step 6.
Connect your Twister to a USB port, do NOT use a USB hub.
Close any music related software that can handle MIDI such as Traktor, Maschine, Ableton, SeratoDJ, VirtualDJ, FLStudio, etc and then Run the utility.
Click Tools>Midi Fighter>Load Customer Firmware>For a Twister
Navigate to the file you downloaded in step 1) and click "Open".
The utility will now flash your Twister and it should now behave correctly.

If your Twister sends MIDI to other software but the MF Utility doesn't recognise it in OS X do as follows:

With your unit connected directly to your computer go to Applications>Utilities and open the Audio MIDI Setup application
Once that is open click on Window>Show MIDI Window
If you see your Twister greyed out then select it and click on Remove Device
Finally click on Rescan MIDI and your fighter should work properly
Note: If your computer detects it as a Generic MIDI Device then double click it and change the Device Name to "Midi Fighter Twister".
