Fishman TriplePlay Wireless MIDI Pickup Wireless MIDI Guitar Pickup System for Electric Guitar with Hexaphonic Pickup, Wireless Transmitter, Wireless USB Receiver, and Software Bundle - Mac/PC $399.95 $ 399.
The recipient of multiple major awards, these newly created EastWest MIDI Guitar Instruments from producers Doug Rogers and Nick Phoenix, differ from other EastWest virtual instruments, which are optimized for keyboards. They have been specially programmed to take advantage of the complex and unique waveforms produced by a guitar’s vibrating strings. These five titles cover a wide range of musical styles and instrument families.
The EastWest production team, working closely with Fishman's software developers, optimized the instruments for guitar players. Pitch bends, whammy bar, dynamics, etc. all function as expected, and in fact provide a much more organic experience than using the instruments with a keyboard and mod wheel. The tracking and latency is superb as you can see in the product videos EastWest produced. Even the sampled guitars are useful, you no longer have to take multiple guitars, acoustic guitars, etc. on the road, but still have access to a vast array of guitar sounds that can be switched with the TriplePlay FC-1 Floor Controller. The other volumes offer sounds that allow you to produce any kind of music you desire, the collection offers every genre imaginable, even inspirational soundscapes and percussion. The guitar has entered the 21st century with a palette of sounds that are the best available!

'We have been testing MIDI guitar systems for many years, and the Fishman TriplePlay Wireless MIDI Guitar Controller is the best in class,' says EastWest producer Doug Rogers. 'So EastWest and Fishman worked closely together, re-programming the instruments and making adjustments to the software specifically for the Fishman MIDI Guitar Controller. It all works incredibly well as you can see and hear in the videos we produced for each collection. In fact, it opens up a whole new world for guitar players who have been grappling with decades-old technology. I know many of our users consider themselves to be guitar players first, so they will now be able to compose 'anything' using their preferred instrument, instead of a keyboard.'
Fishman founder and president, Larry Fishman states, 'The opportunity of collaborating with EastWest is very exciting for not only our two companies, but also for guitarists who are looking to explore new avenues of creativity and sound. EastWest virtual instruments are the choice of top music, film, TV, and gaming performers and composers. We worked with the EastWest team to expand the TriplePlay orbit of guitar-optimized, easily accessed and compatible virtual instruments that will build on the already formidable list of TriplePlay features and benefits.'

Fishman's wireless TriplePlay guitar-to-MIDI system has a strong reputation for fast and accurate tracking, and the company now offer these benefits in their TriplePlay Connect for iOS. This system combines a hex pickup and mounting kit with the TriplePlay Connect App (for iOS 9.3 or later), and the latter is used both for setup and for sound generation. An included USB-to-Lightning cable connects the pickup to the iPad and also powers the pickup, which comes with a variety of spacers so it can be fixed to the guitar without modifying the instrument or leaving screw holes; a simple slide-lock allows the pickup to be separated from the spacer when not in use. It is vital to install the pickup as close to the bridge as possible and to use the spacers and adjustments to get the pole pieces as close as possible to 1mm from the strings. (The pickup fits most guitars, including steel-strung acoustic models, though not Telecasters with traditional 'ash tray' bridge plates.) You can then download the app, which requires around 2.5GB of free memory, and start playing.
Many of the factory patches include a split to put bass sounds on the bottom two strings, but you can set up your own splits and layers by string and fret position.
The app introduces itself with a guitar tuner and a page for balancing the string sensitivities. You're then taken to the main page, where you can select from a library of instrument types and sounds and explore the factory presets. While the sounds that come bundled with the app are fairly conventional with very limited editing available, they're of generally good quality and are arranged by instrument type, including drums, bass, keyboards, wind and so on. There are even guitars, both electric and acoustic. There are also numerous ready-made musical loops, plus the ability to record and store your own — the idea is that you can trigger these from specific notes on the guitar and then play along with them. The preset examples use the low strings above the 12th fret for starting and stopping loops, so you're unlikely to stray there by accident. Further clips can be bought as an 'in-app' purchase, but so far you can't add new sounds this way (something for the future?).

Many of the factory patches include a split to put bass sounds on the bottom two strings, but you can set up your own splits and layers by string and fret position, all shown on the fingerboard display running across the bottom of the window. You can also set up arpeggiators or program chords to be played from single notes. There's a lot to explore, including a range of onboard effects, but a series of video guides makes the process fairly painless.
Using a USB cable, also included, you can plug the pickup directly into a computer running a DAW and the pickup will show up as another MIDI input. There's no adjustment when working this way and with the current version, all the data runs on a single MIDI channel, which limits pitch-bends to single-note lines, but I found that it worked very reliably when teamed with Logic Pro X and is ideal for laying down pads or basic melodies. Having said that, Jam Origin's MIDI Guitar software also does a good job in this context, is cheaper and doesn't require a hex pickup. I mentioned this to Fishman and they revealed that a multi-channel update would be available very soon, which should make the USB controller option far more appealing, as it would allow for string-independent pitch-bending, note splits and so on, all with the speed and accuracy for which Fishman are renowned.
As with earlier TriplePlay systems, the tracking latency really is minimal, making everything feel very immediate and if you play cleanly you shouldn't find yourself triggering rogue notes. The app is a lot of fun and puts in a very solid performance — and if you prefer to work only in your usual DAW, then the standard TriplePlay system may be more flexible, and costs only around 50-percent more.
