Trigger Finger Setup

Ok I found out that if you want to control Redrum with a controller, you use the first 10 notes starting at C1 and up.

So if I plug in my keyboard, I can just play those notes and it plays the corresponding drum samples in Redrum. I have done this, and it works fine.

I even found out how to assign certain pads on the trigger finger to certain notes, using the edit mode on the trigger finger itself.

Still doesn't work though.

I bought that Trigger Finger from GC and apparently it had been returned because the instruction manual was not there. I downloaded it at work, so maybe this afternoon I'll be able to make sense out of it.

I sure would appreciate some input from anyone who's dealt with this before.

Thanks.

Wish I could help mate. But I've never used Reason except for a ten minute play once.

I know a guy I can ask on tuesday if you're still struggling.

I'm still struggling.

Unfortunately, the guy I thought would know hasn't used Reason for a while.

But his comments were along the lines of:
The Trigger Finger comes with a tool (Enigma?) which should help you out. And there should be some Reason Redrum presets shipped with the TF (maybe on the CD if not already installed) which map the finger to the necessary software cells.

Hope this helps a little.

Ya, like I said the CD was not included. I downloaded the drivers from M-Audio's website, but I didn't think there was any additional software for this. I'll check the website again for that Enigma program.

I actually did read something about presets for Reason, but there's no way to do that without that software probably. I can probably just download it for free too.

Thanks for the help.

Let us know how you get on. Sorry, missed the bit about you not having the CD but glad to hear you managed to download it.

Best of luck. I have my trigger fingers crossed for you -- see what I did there.
