Using An External Midi Module - M-Audio Trigger Finger Pro User Manual

Using an External MIDI Module

You can use Trigger Finger Pro as a controller for an external MIDI device. Use a standard 5-
pin MIDI cable to connect your external device's MIDI input to Trigger Finger Pro's MIDI Out.
Also, make sure Trigger Finger Pro's Preferences are set properly depending on your setup:
If you are using both your computer (DAW) and an external MIDI device, enter Trigger
Finger Pro's Preferences, and do the following:
•
Make sure the Clock source is set to External.
•
Make sure the MIDI channel (MIDI-Ch) is set to the desired channel.
•
Make sure the MIDI Output (MIDI-Out) is set to USB+Jack (Jack refers to Trigger Finger
Pro's MIDI Out jack. USB refers to Trigger Finger Pro's USB Port.)
Important: Any pads whose MIDI channel (MIDI-Ch) or MIDI Output are set to USB will
send not send their messages to your external MIDI device. This may be intentional (e.g.,
if you want to use certain pad banks to send messages to your DAW while others send
messages to your external device). If you do want them to send their messages to your
external MIDI device, though, set them to Jack, USB+Jack, or UsePrefs.
If you are using only an external MIDI device, enter Trigger Finger Pro's Preferences, and
do the following:
•
Make sure the Clock source is set to Internal.
•
Make sure the MIDI channel (MIDI-Ch) is set to the desired channel.
•
Make sure the MIDI Output (MIDI-Out) is set to Jack or USB+Jack (Jack refers to
Trigger Finger Pro's MIDI Out jack. USB refers to Trigger Finger Pro's USB Port.)
Important: Any pads whose MIDI channel (MIDI-Ch) or MIDI Output are set to USB will
send not send their messages to your external MIDI device. To fix this, set them to Jack,
USB+Jack, or UsePrefs.
See the Preferences: Clock and Preferences: MIDI chapters to learn how to configure these
settings.
