What is TriplePlay?

TriplePlay is like a musical interpreter, translating your guitar performance into MIDI, a language understood
by most music software and hardware. With TriplePlay, a guitar can sound like any instrument, real or imagined.
TriplePlay doesn't change what you love about your guitar, nor will you sacrifi ce any of your current sounds.
In fact, you'll probably fi nd yourself combining traditional and synthesized sounds in exciting new ways. MIDI
guitars have existed for decades, but they've never been this powerful, affordable, or easy to use.

What's Included?

TriplePlay includes a factory installed pickup and controller mounted on your guitar, a small wireless USB receiver
that plugs into your computer, a charging cable and power supply. You also get a library of software for recording,
performance and notation, featuring stunning collections of sounds and virtual instruments. You need no addi-
tional music software and no music software experience, to get started.
But if you are an experienced computer musician, you'll appreciate how well TriplePlay performs with your
favorite music software, including synths, samplers, drum machines, and digital DJ rigs. TriplePlay also
integrates well with most popular DAW software compatible with AU or VST format plug-ins.
*Please consult the Pickup and Controller Installation Guide at www.fi shman.com/tripleplay for more information
before attempting to install any TriplePlay hardware on your instrument.

In a Hurry? Basic MIDI Controller Mode

Fishman's TriplePlay controller and USB receiver will likely be usable as a basic MIDI controller, without any additional
software, when connected to systems and applications that support MIDI input.
To determine capability, simply connect your USB receiver to your device and pair it with your controller. Your
TriplePlay should appear in most software as a MIDI device with a single MIDI channel for all guitar string
output. See "Boot in Hardware Mode" for details on how to use basic MIDI controller mode with six separate
MIDI channels, one for each guitar string. Note that some hardware functions, such as global string sensitivity, are
saved to your TriplePlay controller during use of our TriplePlay software. These settings will travel with your device
even when used in Basic Mode.
A minimal installation of TriplePlay software on any compatible computer will allow you to set your string sensi-
tivity and transport it with your hardware for use in Basic MIDI Controller Mode with other systems.
