LED Feedback not working on Midi Fighter Twister in Ableton Live

Hi everyone,

I’ve built a custom control surface in Control Surface Studio for my Midi Fighter Twister, and everything is working perfectly except for the LED feedback.

  • I can control Ableton parameters from the Twister (encoders, push buttons, etc.) without any issues.
  • But Ableton does not send any MIDI feedback back to the Twister — the LED rings or button colors never change.
  • I followed everything exactly as shown in this video:
    👉 https://youtu.be/Rh8plD3ajno?si=DoeV6syBNG4cqNfX

Here’s my setup:

  • Ableton Live 12 Beta (latest update)
  • Control Surface Studio latest version
  • Midi Fighter Twister (latest firmware)

I’ve already checked:

  • The script is saved in the correct MIDI Remote Scripts folder.
  • In Ableton’s Link/MIDI preferences, the Output port has Remote = On.
  • The Midi Fighter Utility is closed while testing.

Do I need to configure something inside the Midi Fighter Utility to make LED feedback work?

Or is there anything else I should change in either Control Surface Studio or Ableton to get the LEDs responding (e.g. sending color/feedback messages)?

Has anyone else experienced this issue with the Twister + CSS + Ableton 12 Beta combination?

Thanks so much for any help! 🙏

Patrice

If I’m honest, I’m not exactly sure 😉 I suspect I made a mistake in the LED
