The M-Audio Trigger Finger and Ableton Live 5 have both earned top kudos in electronic music production circles. In fact, we have so many customers using them together that we decided to bundle them as a special offer for a limited time. Use Trigger Finger’s 16 touch- and velocity-sensitive pads to trigger sounds and program beats in Live clips and tracks. Control filters and other parameters with the eight knobs and four sliders—all MIDI-assignable, of course. Trigger Finger has a pre-programmed map for Live 5, so assignment is a snap. Trigger Finger can even be powered from the USB bus on a laptop for truly mobile production. Available only while supplies last.
