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 equipment.
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 or VST formats)
within any compatible recording software, including the powerful program Fishman provides with TriplePlay.

Typical TriplePlay Setups
TriplePlay hardware can be used as a basic MIDI controller. Your TriplePlay hardware should appear in most
software as an available MIDI device with six separate MIDI channels, one for each guitar string. 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.
