Timing; Tempo - M-Audio Trigger Finger Pro User Manual

Timing

Trigger Finger Pro has four main timing settings: Tempo, Swing, Gate, and Time Division. All
four settings are saved with each Sequence rather than globally.
Important: While these settings affect only the Sequence they are saved with, you can "lock"
to a single set of these parameters while in Next Sequence Mode. Learn more about this in the
Next Sequence Mode section of this chapter.

Tempo

The Tempo setting determines the speed of a Sequence in BPM (beats per minute). Each
Sequence has its own tempo, which is saved with the Sequence. The available Tempo range
is 30–300 BPM. The default tempo is 120 BPM.
To set the Tempo of a Sequence, do one of the following:
Tap the Tempo button at the desired rate. Trigger Finger Pro's Sequencer will detect and
enter the new tempo based on the average the speed at which you tap.
Tip: You can set the required number of taps in the Preferences. See Preferences:
Tempo for more information.
or
1. Enter Sequence Mode by pressing the Sequence Mode (Seq) button.
2. Turn the first Knob (Tempo) to adjust the value.
3. Exit Sequence Mode by pressing the Sequence Mode (Seq) button or fourth Function
Button (Exit).
Important: This setting is for Trigger Finger Pro's internal Sequencer, which can be used to
send MIDI Clock to external MIDI devices and/or some DAWs that support it. Similarly, if you
want Trigger Finger Pro to follow your DAW's tempo, set your DAW to use its own MIDI Clock
(if applicable) and set Trigger Finger Pro to receive it. See Preferences: Clock to learn how to
do this.
