TriplePlay Tips
Install the TriplePlay software
As noted earlier, we highly recommend using the free TriplePlay Software package when connecting to your
computer and DAW. Aside from offering a wide range of music-making features and utilities, it helps ensure you
achieve the most accurate performance. In particular, the Sensitivity Settings utility is crucial to the installation
and setup of the TriplePlay hardware on your instrument. It works hand-in-hand with the string spacing
procedures mentioned earlier in this guide (see 'Adjusting the hex-pickup on your Guitar’). The software is
available as both stand-alone application and also as a VST plugin for use with a DAW.
TriplePlay Pickup and Sensitivities
The relationship between the pickup-string spacing and the sensitivity settings in the software is the key to
capturing the most accurate performance. If the pickup is too close to the strings, the pitch of the notes will
act erratically, sometimes playing completely wrong notes. If the pickup is too far from the strings, the controller
will have trouble detecting any notes. The same applies to the sensitivities settings. If the sensitivities are too
high, incorrect notes may trigger erratically, but when set too low, TriplePlay can have trouble detecting
notes altogether. String sensitivity settings are saved to your TriplePlay controller and will always travel with your
device.
By default, the Sensitivity settings for all strings are set to a value of 8 (1-16), which will most likely allow the
controller to work at an acceptable level, provided the string spacing was set properly during installation.
With that being said, we highly recommend installing the software and setting the string sensitivities properly
before trying to use the controller outside of the TriplePlay software.
