16-Pad MIDI Drum Controller for Itchy Trigger Fingers More 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.

Customer Reviews  trigger finger   by peter from oceanside,ca (us), February 05, 2008 Music Background:  emcee,beat maker,dj “the TF is a good piece its was kind of hard to figure in the beging but atfer you learn it its amazing what it can do.I use this thing with live,reason,and batter3 and wire it all to live.really good to have when throwing in samples or drum patterns.the next step is the mpc 1000” • Click Here to Read More Customer Reviews • Write Your Own Review Sweetwater Expert Advice     "I own a Trigger Finger and I use it with Traktor DJ. I know, sounds kind of wierd huh? When I am pounding beats on the dance floor and I need to kick my performance in to overdrive, I hook up the Trigger Finger and shatter the dance floor. I produce and DJ everything from hard style to drum 'n bass and industrial. I use this for production in the studio, then throw it in my M-Audio Studio Pack and hit the road. A must-have for the live performer or studio producer." Carson McClain   "The Trigger Finger is the perfect accompaniment to programs like Ableton Live, Native Instruments Battery, Propellerhead Reason, M-Audio Torq, and many more! The 16 pads, four faders, and eight knobs provide the tools you need in a MIDI controller to define new sounds, remix existing songs, and create completely new instrumentals, beats, and complete orchestrations. Imagine the Trigger Finger as the replacement tool for on-the-road production. If you don't want to injure your new MPC unit, then take a Trigger Finger with you and use it with Battery. If you want the ultimate in remix capabilities with M-Audio Torq, the Trigger Finger is the answer. The pads on the Trigger Finger are incredibly sensitive to the touch, and it doesn't take a superstar in the UFC to pound out rhythms. You can be as gentle or as tough on it as you like and it's going to keep delivering the control you need for any program that accepts MIDI control. There are tons of MIDI controllers on the market, but when you need a serious solution for drum style/MPC replacement MIDI control, then the Trigger Finger is the perfect choice! " Scott DeMarko   "I never could play drums on my MIDI keyboard very well... but the Trigger Finger now lets me play BFD, Strike, and Ethno Instrument beats into Logic and Pro Tools simply and intuitively. No one who uses virtual percussion instruments should be without a Trigger Finger!" Ron Daniel  Tell a Friend About the Trigger Finger!  Print This Page See Also:  Drum Samplers
