To set up Arsenal with Trigger Finger Pro in Standalone Mode (without a DAW):
Important: To use Arsenal in Plugin Mode (with a DAW), please see the steps on previous
page instead.
1. Connect Trigger Finger Pro to your computer using a standard USB cable. (If you are
connecting Trigger Finger Pro to a USB hub, make sure it is a powered hub.)
2. Power-on Trigger Finger Pro.
3. Turn Trigger Finger Pro's Value Dial to browse through its available presets, and then
push the third Function Button (Load) to select one whose name includes Arsenal.
(These are Trigger Finger Pro presets and are not related to the patches in Arsenal.)
Your Trigger Finger Pro can now communicate with Arsenal.

the application where you installed it. These are the default locations:

5. In Arsenal, click the Setting icon (the gear) to open the Settings window.
6. Click the I/O Settings button to open the Audio/MIDI Settings window.
