TriplePlay Software
Please note that no one guide could be large enough to detail all the features and options in the huge variety
of software that is provided with your new guitar controller system. We encourage you to read and investigate
the full features of the partner software from their individual user guides and internet knowledge bases. The
next section will discuss the specifi c features of your Fishman branded TriplePlay software.
The Perform Window
The Perform Window is TriplePlay’s primary user interface. It’s arranged into several sections:
A. Patch Readout area.
Use to audition 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.) More details in the Patch Readout
area section of this document (page 14).
B. Sensitivity/Tuner area.
This area doubles as a tuner and a
calibration tool that fi ne-tunes TriplePlay to suit your playing style. For
more info, see Sensitivity/Tuner area (page 16).
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. Its components and
functions are covered in Mixer area (page 18).
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. More details in Fretboard/Edit Splits
area (page 23).
E. Pull-Down Menus.
Here you set your TriplePlay preferences, check for software updates, and call up
various views and windows. The specifi c menus are detailed in the Pull-Down menus section of this document
(page 24,25).
