Using the Trigger Finger With Your Software

When installed, the Trigger Finger will appear in the computer as a simple MIDI device with one input port and one output port. You will select the Trigger Finger input
port as the MIDI input device in your audio application. The application will then be able to read any of the data transmitted by you from the Trigger Finger.
The MIDI ports have different names depending on whether you are using Mac or PC, and whether you've installed the Windows Multi-client driver or not:
Mac OS X
Windows Class Driver
Windows Multi-Client Driver
You may be wondering why there is a MIDI output port for a controller that has no sound-generation capabilities. This is to facilitate bi-directional communication
between the Trigger Finger and the Enigma Librarian. The Trigger Finger also allows you to exploit this MIDI Out port as an additional output for your computer by
selecting USB as the source for the Trigger Finger's MIDI Out jack (see the Global Parameters section later in this manual).
