M-Audio Trigger Finger

[Ruimixx]

I'm thinking about getting one of these and the best price I'v found on the web is $129.74. (Amazon) Anybody know of a better price than this. Thank you in advance! Peace.

What about the Akai mpd16? I'm trying to stay in under $130. (broke ass)

 

[NorthJack ENT.]

well the 16 is good if u use mac only because it crashes soo much on windows....Do a search on here for mpd16 and u'll find a lot of stuff (Bad/Good) about it....

dude I am thinking of trading in my MPD16 for a trigger finger. The MPD16's pads are not sensitive at all.

 

[open mind]

ruimix try both out before u decide to buy one of those.check the pads and the feel of them wich you prefer more to avoid dissapointment.

 

[Ruimixx]

Appreciate if fellas. I'm calling around to stores in the city to go and play around with them. (No Pee Wee)

try guitar center, i got my trigger finger (used) for 120 dollars

If sensitivity/velocity is a big deal to you while laying down your drums, I wouldn't suggest the MPD16. Also, if you're using WinXP and don't have MIDI capabilities, I would again suggest avoiding the MPD16, as the USB connection is notorious for crashing WinXP at random. Just my two cents. The Trigger Finger pads are slightly softer as well, imo. Slightly.

There aint nothing wrong with the trigger fingers pads the device is perfect

The Trigger Finger is nice...

$129 is a damn good price... amazon right? Definitely try it out in person. you won't be dissapointed.

Alright folks, I just got my trigger finger last night!!!! I haven't had a chance to mess with it too much, but I plugged it in and was already banging some ish out! The pads are dope!!! While I was at the guitar center last night I got to mess around with the MPC 2500 for the first time. Dayyuummnn!!! But the sensitivity of the pads on the trigger is great!

Oh yeah, guitar center price was 149 but they price matched amazons for 129. Hey that's lunch money holmez.

 

[open mind]

CONGRATS!!!!!!! iam happy for you my friend. now let hit them pads!"

 

[Ruimixx]

Thanks Open, man I'm hyped!!!! Seven more hours in this cube and then I can get to the crib and bang em', lol!! Torture.

 

[NorthJack ENT.]

So u like the pads I really dont like em maybe I need to try it out more....but im stickin wit the mpd24 if I do get 1

 

[manguino]

sorry if it's a bit off topic, but are there any latency issues? how about compared to the other midi controllers? congrats by the way, i'd be hella happy as well!

 

[Ruimixx]

I have an M-Audio Oxygen 8 keyboard and that seemed to have more latency issues. Basically, I think the trigger finger is more responsive. I've already recorded some stuff and they are more on time then the keyboard. If you tweak that buffer length time just right (FL studio), you'll have some good results.

Thanks man, yeah so far so good.
