The Menu Tree - Fishman OEM TRIPLEPLAY User Manual

The Menu Tree

This is a system of nested menus that largely duplicate functions from the main interface with two important
exceptions. Note that two Global parameters Tune Base and Pitch Bend Range are not accessible anywhere
but the Menu Tree through use of the D-Pad on your controller. Here in the Menu Tree, you can display and
edit these and other menu settings via the TriplePlay controller's D-Pad buttons.
• Here you can set the sensitivity independently for each string on a scale of 1 to 16, with 1 rep-

TriplePlay to suit your playing style. (Guitarists with a light touch generally prefer higher settings, while play-
ers with a heavier touch usually opt for less sensitivity.)

Press the right D-Pad button to go a level deeper in the menu hierarchy, and the
