What Is Tripleplay; In A Hurry? Basic Midi Controller Mode; Tripleplay Software - Fishman TriplePlay Intro Manual

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 it eliminate any of your current sounds. In
fact, you'll probably find yourself combining traditional and synthesized sounds in exciting new ways.

In a Hurry? Basic MIDI Controller Mode

Fishman's TriplePlay controller and USB receiver will likely be usable with any software that supports MIDI
input. This may even include hardware and software not meeting TriplePlay's written requirements. Basic
MIDI Controller Mode is useful for quick access to MIDI functions, with little or no software installation
required, and will allow access to proprietary plug-ins and instruments not usable within Fishman's software.
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. Note that some hardware functions, such as global string sensitivity, are saved to your Triple-
Play 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
sensitivity and transport it with your hardware for use in Basic MIDI Controller Mode with other systems.

TriplePlay Software

Once you've paired the controller and receiver, open the TriplePlay application and you will see the Perform
window.
Perform Window
A. Patch Readout Area. Here you preview, select,
load, and save your TriplePlay patches. (A "patch"
is a snapshot of a TriplePlay setup, whose info
includes your choice of instruments, fretboard
layout, and other parameters.)
B. Sensitivity/Tuner Area. This area doubles as a
tuner and a calibration tool that fine-tunes
TriplePlay to suit your playing style.
C. Mixer Area. A virtual mixing board for adjusting
the levels, panning, and solo/mute status of the
guitar and synth sounds that comprise each patch.
D. Fretboard/Edit Splits Area. Displays each note
you play in real time. It's also where you
create "splits" — patches that assign different sounds to different parts of the fretboard.
E. Pull-Down Menus. Here you set your TriplePlay preferences, check for software updates, and call up
various views and windows.
