Hardware Only Functionality, Basic Mode and Optional Controller
Boot Functions
Your TriplePlay controller has several optional boot modes which can be useful for certain functions of the
product when operated outside of TriplePlay software or for resetting factory defaults and other diagnostics.
These can be initiated by holding a D-Pad control down, while simultaneously turning on the power switch of
the TriplePlay controller.

Basic Mode:

Power Switch On without D-Pad engaged, AKA Basic Mode: TriplePlay in POLY Mode, TRIG Bends (No string
bends). If the D-Pad ENTER button is pressed, after the controller is turned on, the Basic mode will toggle to
POLY Mode, AUTO Bends (see Pitchbend in Parameters Menu section of this user guide for more detail), Pitch
Bend Range 2 (see Pitch Bend Range in Menu Tree section for more detail). If BACK button is pressed, device
will return to TRIG bend settings.

System Reinitialize:

Power Switch On while D-Pad BACK Button is engaged: System Reinitialize. This will return TriplePlay control-
ler to factory defaults.

Boot in Hardware Mode:

Power Switch On while D-Pad UP Button is engaged: Hardware Mode. This will boot the device into Hardware
Mode, with the unit on hardware patch #1. See the description in the Hardware Mode section for more infor-
mation on Hardware Mode patches and functionality.

Hardware Mode

Fishman's TriplePlay hardware can be used to directly control any MIDI, USB compliant device with a type A
USB receptacle capable of providing compliant power to the Fishman TriplePlay receiver.
Some possible uses for hardware mode are:
• Direct USB MIDI functionality to a computer or personal device, without use of Fishman TriplePlay soft-
ware. This may include computers and devices incompatible with TriplePlay software.
• Direct control of MIDI capable hardware (sound modules and keyboards, for example). In this case, note
that there are very few sound modules and keyboards that allow type A USB input or are prepared to receive
MIDI from a USB MIDI device in this way. The most straightforward way to access 5-pin MIDI devices would
be to connect the Fishman TriplePlay receiver to a unit that can convert USB type A input to 5-pin MIDI. The
USB MIDI HOST by Kenton, is a device that has been tested and is approved for use with TriplePlay in this
application.
