Depending on what midi mode it uses ? Yes?
x y z isn't what you are looking for in conjunction with moving heads... It's 2D pan and tilt (the 3th dimension you get for free)

yes you are right , it is more a general Question about this controller and its usability as encoder / positioner for moving lights and the like.
Does anybody use this controller for this purpose?

what i noticed is that DJ Techtools Midi Fighter Twister encoder sends a midi command which increases from 0 to 130 no matter what direction of turn i use
this means clockwise or anti clockwise generates the same command
strange isnt it?

and what is even more strange ... midi is 7bit so there is NO digital possibility to get a value of 130...
How or where do you read these values? I think, for debugging purposes, it's better to use a midi tool.
It also might be that your device is sending CC signals, which are mal-interpreted.

the value 130 is shown in the VC probably as DMX value
I found the Docs to this device and will spend some time working through..

If the VC is showing you 130 (or 131 - depending on the flip-side-of-things) You got Input - and that is important.
How things will come out, that's the manual to say...
