Fishman has announced the new TriplePlay Express MIDI Guitar Controller, the latest iteration of Fishman's line of MIDI guitar controllers. Here's what they say:
This new system easily connects to nearly any computer or tablet device for recording, transcribing or creating new sounds.
Fishman's TriplePlay technology has proven to be the most accurate and responsive way to convert guitar playing into usable MIDI data for integration into the user's audio workflow. TriplePlay offers the best real-time guitar pitch-detection on the market with the lowest latency, allowing players to focus on creating, not editing.
TriplePlay Express connects easily to your DAW via USB-C, providing power and multi-channel MIDI data over a single, modern cable. Non-invasive installation is possible on most 6-string guitars using the included mounting kit.
This affordable package includes a free set of software tools for Mac, PC, and iOS featuring the new TriplePlay Utility that simplifies getting the most out of the controller and connecting to the user's virtual instruments.
Fishman's software suite also includes TriplePlay Host, an advanced VST host allowing for fret and string splits and layers. Supporting all VST2 and VST3 virtual instrument plugins – up to 5 at once – it can run standalone or from within a DAW.
The TriplePlay Connect app – designed for iPad – is a musical performance tool for creating music on the fly. It offers a breadth of virtual instruments and samples with advanced features for loop creation, arpeggiation, digital effects, and more.
Price: $199.95 at Sweetwater. Prices may vary in other countries or territories.
