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??

Here is an update, I made a remarkable discovery 5 minutes after posting above on how to make your trigger finger work with reason 3.0 on a mac. This is for anyone's benefit experiencing similar trouble as us. Here it is:

1. Go to reason prefs
2. make sure your control surface is properly identified under "control surfaces and keyboards" - this case it is the trigger finger. You want it to have a green check mark.
3. Next, go to "advanced midi" section of prefs.
4. Assign USB Trigger Finger to any of the Buses labeled Bus A through D.
5. open a new reason file, and you should notice that it opens with a green/grey device in the rack called "MIDI IN DEVICE". Here you select the appropriate bus, I used bus A and it should read USB Trigger Finger when selected.
6. If you have properly mapped out your keys, which you assign to the TF from Enigma (which I explained in my last post) then using a pad/fader/knob on the TF will activate a red light on one of the channels on the MIDI IN DEVICE in the rack. For some arbitrary reason mine is channel 10.
7. Next, you pick the channel that is in use and select a reason device to recieve the midi commands, i.e. ReDrum, Dr. Rex or whatever.

That is it, now I am looking at how to record events from the TF, it's being a little stubborn... we'll see how that goes. Anyway, hope I could help somebody out, good luck!
