M-Audio Trigger Finger Pro [39/97] About control banks

Assignable Controls (Knobs, Faders, and Buttons)

Trigger Finger Pro's Assignable Controls are the knobs, faders, and buttons below the

display on the left side. You can use these controls to send MIDI CC or Program Change

messages to your software or external MIDI device. Alternatively, you can set them to

communicate with your software using the Mackie Control or HUI protocols or to

communicate with Arsenal. (The knobs also let you adjust the parameters shown right above

them in the display.)

About Control Banks

Press the Control Bank button to cycle through the four independent banks of Assignable

Controls. The current control bank letter (A–D) will appear in the display. If the Assignable

Buttons in each bank are colored differently (which is likely the case), then their colors will

change to indicate the control bank, as well.

Note: To learn how to configure the settings of your DAW Control buttons, see the DAW

Control Buttons section of this chapter.

Alternatively, you select a control bank directly (without cycling through all of them) by

pressing and holding the Control Bank button and then pressing Assignable Button 1, 2, 3,

or 4 to select Control Bank A, B, C, or D, respectively. The selected Assignable Button will be

completely lit and its letter will have an asterisk () next to it in the display (while the Control

Bank button is held down).

Important: When a control bank's mapping is set to Mackie or HUI, that bank's Assignable

Controls can control either Tracks 1-4 or Tracks 5-8. (This does not apply to control banks

whose mapping is set to MIDI or Arsenal, even though the option appears in the display.)

To switch between Tracks 1-4 and Tracks 5-8:

1. Press and hold the Control Bank button (in any mode).

2. Press the fourth Function Button (Tracks) to switch between 1-4 or 5-8.

3. Release the Control Bank button.
