Fishman TriplePlay Bridge Wireless MIDI Pickup Review

Next level tech

This might be the coolest gear purchase I have ever made. The fishman plugin that comes with the pickup is not that great in my opinion as I have had horrible latency issues with it. The magic comes from being able to use it as a midi controller in my daw with all my synth and piano plugins. I have no latency problems with any plugin I have used in FL studios. My only complaint… read more is they haven't released a bass guitar version yet.

Fishman triple play - w/ software bundle

DELIGHTFUL product! SO amazing to just be sitting on my couch - while skillfully playing a piano [or ANY instrument] with my guitar! SAMPLETANK is the company I ordered from in order to complete my "sounds library" -with: SAMPLETANK- 4 ----- as for the free "EAST-WEST" so called "teaser" pack, was just THAT for me - nothing but a "tease" - because I could NEVER get it operational… read more and stop trying when TWO of the E/W tech people, each gave me two DIFFERENT sets of instructions on how to fix it - good grief =( and if you read other reviews regarding the E/W teaser pack, you will find that I am only confirming how difficult their software is to navigate by my comments here. Back to the 3xPlay - I went ahead and later bought the TRIPLE PLAY "FC-1 Foot Controller", and I am so glad I did - it is REALLY useful! The HUGE display is awesome! The Triple Play ITSELF, will need to be "dialed in", even though its pickup mounting gets REALLY close to being a perfect setup distance to the strings, just read the mounting instructions GUYS!... like I said though, there are a few subtle electronic "sensitivity level" adjustments needed in order for each of the strings to make up for the small differences in the string height and proximity to the 3xplay pickup. This will "equal out" the volume output levels of each string to your DAW - kinda like a "compressor" adjustment for each string. I used my FC-1 pedal to do so because it is so easy to SEE and adjust UP/DOWN with the foot switches! One last thing regarding "set up", you will need to play with the "buffer" rates in order to get rid of any "warbles" or "note dropouts" while you are playing. The buffer rates which work best for my Macbook Pro with a solid state hardrive are set at 128 or 190. The Grand Piano in SAMPLETANK XT sampler, then becomes an amazing "instrument" to hear and play VIA your guitar! It tracks and picks up string pulls and hammers, giving the piano amazing nuances of keyboard "rolls", and sounds that you don't even notice when you play the same thing with just your guitar strings sound. As part of the free software and In the sample sounds in SAMPLETANK XT, you can do your own EDITs - I added more reverb and other alterations and then renamed and saved it with my OWN mix to recall next time I boot up. LASTY, As of TODAY, I have now almost completely sold off ALL of my "analog" effect pedals, everything I could want or need is in my laptop - easier and much lighter to carry - great for air flights too - no effects rack to transport! I use a the Fucusrite 2i2 3rd gen for my computer interface and it sounds pristine! LOVE the Fishman Triple Play and the SAMPLETANK software for instrument sounds - tons of other digital amp modeling software with IK multimedia too- The PROGRESSION software makes it so you can write sheet music or tabs recorded as you play, for printing out for other musicians, or for ease in doing a copyrighting your songs. FIVE STARS on the Triple Play in spite of some software issues with EAST/WEST - I LOVE the TRIPLE PLAY!! But please be sure to check your applications - your computer memory - speed and ram so you will be happy with the results!

Fantastic Product

Best wireless guitar product on the market. I have tested several in Live performance and this one delivers. The basic sound set covers a large range and sounds sensational.

Great synth. Expert Advice.

Very happy with this purchase. I've owned many guitar synths over the years & the tracking was always the major stumbling block. This is the first time that I feel a company has gotten it right. The included software allows much more than sequencing/recording guitar controlled synth patches. Special thanks to Skyler, who has always offered excellent advice & goes the extra mile.… read more Highly recommended.
