Calibrating TriplePlay (cont’d)
5.
Set the sensitivity level by plucking each string, and then clicking the up/down arrows to the right of each
meter to specify more or less sensitivity. (These arrows appear when you hover your cursor to the left of the
numerals
(fi gure 6).
6.
The sensitivity is best calibrated so only your very loudest notes send the meters to the tops of their ranges.
(Don’t be surprised if some strings require higher sensitivity settings than others.) TriplePlay remembers these
global settings. You can also set sensitivity levels independently for every TriplePlay sound, if you prefer.
Scanning for Installed Plug-Ins
After you install the plug-ins bundled with TriplePlay, they should ap-
pear in the program’s plug-in list. But if they don’t, or you have other
plug-ins on your computer that you’d like to access within TriplePlay,
you must run two plug-in scans: one for the Guitar channel, and one
for the Synth channels.
First, the Guitar channel: In TriplePlay’s mixer section, click-hold the
gray box in the lower portion of the Guitar channel,
(fi gure 8)
will
appear.
Click Scan for effects. TriplePlay searches your computer for com-
patible plug-ins
(fi gure 9)
. This process may take a few minutes,
depending on the number of plug-ins the scan detects.
Once the scan is complete, all available plug-ins appear on this list.
To complete the scan process, click-hold the gray box at the bottom
of any of the mixer’s Synth channels.
This popup
(fi gure 10)
will appear.
Click Scan for sounds. TriplePlay now searches your computer for
compatible plug-ins. This process may take a few minutes, depend-
ing on the number of plug-ins the scan detects.
Add Traditional Guitar
If you do not want to hear your traditional guitar through your computer, you can skip this section.
If you haven’t already done so, check out the Typical TriplePlay Setups and Audio Hardware settings to connect
your guitar’s traditional audio to the computer. Make sure your TriplePlay controller slider switch is set to guitar
or mix.
