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 nd yourself combining traditional and synthesized sounds in exciting new ways.

What’s Included?
TriplePlay includes a pickup and controller that mount on your guitar, a small wireless USB receiver that
plugs into your computer, a charging cable and power supply, hardware for multiple mounting options, and
installation tools. You also get a library of software for recording, performance and notation, featuring stunning
collections of sounds and virtual instruments.

Basic Concepts
A different kind of pickup. Traditional electric guitar pickups convert string vibrations into electrical signals
which are sent to an amplier or recording device. The TriplePlay pickup sends six individual signals to the
TriplePlay Controller which converts them into MIDI data, then transmits the MIDI wirelessly to the TriplePlay
Receiver connected to your computer.
MIDI guitar vs. traditional guitar. TriplePlay does not wirelessly transmit your traditional guitar sound.
You still need to use a cable to connect your guitar to a computer, amp, or other device. The best way to
connect your guitar’s audio to your computer is by plugging into the computer through a dedicated audio
interface. This allows the user to combine traditional guitar and MIDI inside the TriplePlay software. (While it
is possible to connect directly to most computers via their audio input jacks, most users prefer the superior
sound of a dedicated interface.) If you only plan to use MIDI, you can do everything wirelessly without an
audio interface.
Virtual instruments. A virtual instrument (VI) is software which mimics the sound (and often the look and
feel) of a physical instrument. TriplePlay comes with VIs from the world’s most respected developers. You
can conjure and combine the sounds of hundreds of standard instruments or tweak them into exciting new
tones. TriplePlay can also control most commercially available virtual instruments.
Basic Concepts (continued)
Virtual guitar rigs. A virtual guitar rig (VGR) is software that replicates the sound of amps, pedals, and other
guitar gear. VGRs can reproduce convincing electric guitar tones, just by connecting your traditional guitar
signal directly to your computer. TriplePlay comes with an industry standard virtual guitar rig that will have
you believing you’re playing through your favorite analog gear.
Plug-ins and hosts. A plug-in is a computer program that runs inside another “host” program. TriplePlay
works as both a plug-in and a host. When you run TriplePlay in standalone mode, it hosts all the plug-ins
that come with the program and any others you’ve installed on your computer. TriplePlay can also run as a
plug-in AU Audio Units (Apple) or VST (Steinberg) plug-in within any compatible recording software,
including the powerful program Fishman provides with TriplePlay.

Audio Setups
Many players connect their guitars to a computer via a dedicated audio interface. In this scenario,
TriplePlay’s controller transmits MIDI data wirelessly to the receiver, while the audio interface conveys the
audio signal from the guitar’s traditional pickups. These sources get mixed and manipulated in the TriplePlay
software, and the combined sounds exit the computer via the audio interface to your headphones or speakers.
(To utilize the included virtual guitar modeling feature as part of your TriplePlay patch you will need an audio
interface, guitar cable and headphones or speakers)
Other setup options are diagrammed in the online documentation. These include connecting to your
computer’s built-in audio hardware, using a conventional guitar amp or hardware amp simulator, and using
TriplePlay to control hardware synthesizers.
* Windows installations may require the use of a low latency audio driver to avoid long delays.
