From Our Research Team:16-Pad MIDI Drum Controller for Itchy Trigger FingersMore DJ's, Hip Hop artists and electronic musicians are leaning towards software based setups to create beats and grooves due to the huge variety of sounds available as well as the limitless opportunities for mangling sounds that sofware offers. But most beat-makers feel that their most interesting patterns comes from banging out a rhythm on the edge of the desk or on their knees, which is much more intuitive than using a MIDI keyboard or the tiny finger pads on many drum machines. M-Audio's Trigger Finger offers DJ's, Hip-Hop artists and drum programmers an easy-to-use dedicated drum pad controller, which offers larger pads than most drum machines.M-Audio Trigger Finger at a Glance:
Play Expressively with Velocity and Pressure Sensitive Pads M-Audio Trigger Finger's 16 "MPC" sized velocity and pressure sensitive pads contribute to the feel of triggering "real" drums and percussion, ensemble "blasts", and virtually any sample or loop requiring a more percussive method of playing. Or, for VJs, Trigger Finger can even control video projections - and applying pressure to the pads can generate any MIDI controller you wish. Assignable Knobs and Sliders Trigger Finger also gives you 8 knobs and 4 faders that are freely assignable to MIDI parameters such as volume, pan, pitch, and effects. Pre-programmed maps for Reason, Live, GM Drum, XG Drum, iDrum, and more make setup a snap-and full programmability lets you customize the unit to fit your needs.

To me, it's been around forever, it's what I started my music career on, and it's not going anywhere anytime soon. It's 16-pads are dead accurate on velocity &pressure, and each feels the same, which is extremely hard to come by in midi-controllers like this. I've owned one for about three years now, and it feels almost the same as it did out of the box those years ago. I use it to utilize Ableton Live, and it's a dream for my needs. If you're looking for a midi-controller/Pad-controller, this is the one to get. close [-] trigger finger

This is such a simple and cool little controller I use for Reason. Yes you can use it for Redrum and triggering samples as well.

If you don't know anything about Midi you may find a slight learning curve. Generally you should be able to just plug and play the device, but I found initially (as many others have as I found) there can be some nuances getting this to trigger Reason seamlessly. Once you get the basics though you can do it on the fly. Pad have great responsiveness. close [-]

I'm using this mostly in conjunction with BFD in Digital Performer and find that this combination is very sweet. It is easy to reprogram an individual pad to another sound, so you can replace things in the 16 pads if the situation calls for it. Saving presets and setting them up is simple with the software utility (Enigma) that is included. Plus Enigma works for other M-Audio devices you might have. close [-]
