SETUP:
Download and un-zip the file. Inside you should see a .MFS and a .TSI
1). Open the MF Utility software and import the .mfs file (Midi Fighter Settings) then click "Send To Midifighter" to apply new settings to the device. This mapping doesn't use utility to determine the button color for each bank so all the buttons should display BLACK after importing the .mfs file.
2). Run Traktor and click the gear symbol to open the preferences window. Click the BIG IMPORT button in the bottom of the preferences window and navigate to the folder where the mapping file is saved. Once you select the .tsi and click OK the next window will pop-up asking you which settings do you wish to import. The "controller mappings" and the "effect settings' categories will be automatically selected - then click OK. Please note that you need to repeat this step one more time to successfully import the FX settings. (this only matters if you're installing this mapping for the first time)
3). Go into the Controller Manager and make sure that the In-Port and Out-Port for the mapping are set to your MF Twister.
4). The RGB animation screen at start up indicates that the mapping is installed. Push down any of the 16 rotary knobs to close this screen and access the FX control.
That's all folks! I hope you enjoy the mapping.

I'd check if you had imported correct .MFS file.
