Trigger Finger And Reason 3, How do I set this up? Options

[ArolaMorre]

Hello everyone. . .

I have just purchased an M-Audio Trigger finger to use with Reason 3. I have an Evolution MK-449C keyboard already so I (wrongly) assumed that like my keyboard the trigger finger would "Just Work" when you plug it in (being class compliant and every thing.

Unfortunately the trigger finger pads don't make my Redrum (in Reason) make any noise. My Powerbook recieves the volume and slider MIDI info but does not respond to the pads being hit.

Does any one know how to make this work??

try changing the presets on thr trigger finger, if you dont see them listed they are in the Enigma program that ships with the trigger finger, here's from a review thats out there

"Next I tried Reason, the default is designed to control Redrum (naturally) but it’s setup a bit different from what is expected. It basically splits the 16 pads in half with each side mirrored, sounds kinda complicated, but try to follow mentally if you can. The left half triggers samples 1-8 as does the right half, however the left half also triggers send effect 1 on whatever pads you hit and based on the velocity and how long you hold the note, keeps that level up. The right half controls 1-8 as well, but without the effect send. This was the confusing part for a couple of people, I personally don’t’ understand why on a 16 pad controller you can’t access 2 of the 10 channels (9 and 10), but the simple work around is to simply load preset #16 which is the unassigned one designed for you to experiment with and it’ll function just like a regular keyboard controller would."

gist of it is switch to preset #16, should work fine
