I found this on the macmusic forum
"Hey, I use trigger finger and reason 3.0 and have the exact same problem.
Here is a step that is necessary to make any loaded presets work: once you have uploaded from enigma to TF you must immediately press Save & Exit button followed by a preset button (P1-16) to correspond to your preset.
Once I did this, I successfully managed to get reason to recognize midi signals, but the preset I am using (which is supplied by the accurately described 'enigma' software) only activates the s2 (send 2) note dials and does actually activate the sound! What the fck are they trying to pull? Anyway, so now I am looking for a preset that actually signals the notes, I have merely told you what I have found in order to activate the settings.
I must say that the unit was released with no helpful documentation, anywhere, except from intelligent users online and I must say fck M-Audio. Their customer support is closed during regular business hours as I have found also...
I apologize but I have a tendency to rant on this subject, if anyone knows how to get the TF to activate ReDrum noises, please help!!!!!"
"Here is an update, I made a remarkable discovery 5 minutes after posting above on how to make your trigger finger work with reason 3.0 on a mac. This is for anyone's benefit experiencing similar trouble as us. Here it is:
1. Go to reason prefs
2. make sure your control surface is properly identified under "control surfaces and keyboards" - this case it is the trigger finger. You want it to have a green check mark.
3. Next, go to "advanced midi" section of prefs.
4. Assign USB Trigger Finger to any of the Buses labeled Bus A through D.
5. open a new reason file, and you should notice that it opens with a green/grey device in the rack called "MIDI IN DEVICE". Here you select the appropriate bus, I used bus A and it should read USB Trigger Finger when selected.
6. If you have properly mapped out your keys, which you assign to the TF from Enigma (which I explained in my last post) then using a pad/fader/knob on the TF will activate a red light on one of the channels on the MIDI IN DEVICE in the rack. For some arbitrary reason mine is channel 10.
7. Next, you pick the channel that is in use and select a reason device to recieve the midi commands, i.e. ReDrum, Dr. Rex or whatever.
That is it, now I am looking at how to record events from the TF, it's being a little stubborn... we'll see how that goes. Anyway, hope I could help somebody out, good luck!"
Hope that helps.
