Tried this after using (and returning) an Akai MPD16, which looks pretty similar - but this feels better, responds better, has more features and is easier to use. And unlike the previous reviewer, I didn't have any problems whatsoever with hooking it up: I just plugged in the USB cable, it worked,... Read review on www.amazon.com

One review gave it 1 star and said it wasn't XP compatible ha ha. A few others griped about it not working well with Reason 3, that's an oooooold version of Reason (5 just came out) I run 4 and it works great with it. Setting it up wasn't exactly plug and play, for Reason any ways. But it wasn't... Read review on www.amazon.com

I bought this as my first ever drum midi and for the most part very pleased. My only gripe was that it did not come with any kind of manual. wtf? Anyhow i really like that the pads are velocity effected. It gives what ever im making a real sound which is nice. Came packaged with Ableton live which... Read review on www.amazon.com

Rating: 4.0 out of 5A Solid Product, But Requires Programming

-- The Short Version -- Sensitive pads and lot of flexible controls make this a useful piece of gear for a computer-based studio, but I wouldn't recommend it to someone who doesn't have a good grasp on how MIDI functions. Also, keep in mind that this is only an interface -- it doesn't produce sound... Read review on www.amazon.com

This item is a hot item, especially if you can figure out how to use it. I bought this for my son as a Christmas gift because it was more affordable than the one he originally wanted. After reading the reviews, I thought this would be a great buy. My son was very satisfied but he is having a little... Read review on www.amazon.com

I bought this product because I wanted to experiment a drum-playing gesture in computer-music making. But, if used as it was a percussion, it suffers of unreliability: if you don't hit the pads perfectly at the center, they don't respond reliably to your gesture, since they are not too sensible,...

Unlike the first reviewer my experience with Trigger Finer has been a good one. At first it took me awhile to figure out how to get the device to control the drums in Impulse (Ableton Live) once I realized that each pad had to be set in order to have each tone mapped it was a breeeze.

Ordered the product and it shipped with NO manual. I had to find it online in a pdf. It's written not by a musician but by a tech geek. I see people on Youtube using the thing just fine, only it's not working for me in ableton live lite M-Audio edition. I need a drum map so I buy Native Instruments... Read review on www.amazon.com

I've had the trigger finger for about three weeks now. The first problem that I had was mapping controls. Even though the Trigger Finger comes with M-Audio's Enigma, the program sometimes works.
