Controlling TriplePlay Software Via External MIDI Device

Users may want to control TriplePlay functions using an external device. Once a device is connected to your
computer, select its input port via the Preferences menu, under Options from the pull down menus. The Foot
pedal MIDI input allows you to select your MIDI input device.
The TP application has fi ve possible externally controlled functions. These should be sent via MIDI channel one:
1. Hold / Loop. Send CC 66 value 127, 0 on release, for hold/loop
2. Patch up. CC 68 value 128, 0 on release for patch up
3. Patch down. CC 67 value 127, 0 on release for patch down
4. Program change. A MIDI program change will change to a user patch number which is one greater (de-
pending on the pedal brand – some pedals will correct for this automatically, and the numbers will correspond)
than the program change number. Program change commands will only work if you have currently or previ-
ously opened the user patch list and currently have a user patch selected. It will not work within the default
patch list. So, for example, if you send program change 5 on midi channel 1, and you have the user patch list
engaged in our software, TriplePlay will go straight to user patch #6.
5. Volume expression. CC 80, controlled via expression pedal. Use this command for control of TriplePlay
volume post Master fader (for this to work, the fi nal volume dialog in the Preferences menu must be toggled to
on.
