Fishman TriplePlay wireless guitar controller arrives in the UK

The long-awaited Fishman TriplePlay wireless guitar controller has finally arrived in the UK.

The groundbreaking TriplePlay (£499 UK RRP) is the composing, performing and recording system that puts an unlimited palette of instruments and sounds at your fingertips – all with the freedom of wireless control.

Ideal for the guitarist who doesn’t play keyboards and wants to be able to lay down ideas and tracks on any instrument, the TriplePlay lets you compose music with unparalleled tonal options, easily share arrangements with your band, and switch between instruments, or play up to four instruments at the same time – choosing from a huge variety of guitar (electric, acoustic, classical, etc.), bass, brass and woodwind, strings, keyboard and drum sounds, and more.

The TriplePlay is remarkably easy to use. Easy to set up and install – and with no permanent guitar modifications necessary – the low profile TriplePlay controller fits neatly behind your guitar’s bridge, and it’s wireless, so no heavy 13-pin DIN cables to trip over.

The rechargeable Lithium Ion battery has over 20 hours of life – plenty of juice for a full day of composing and a night of gigging. Accessible onboard menu navigation buttons, volume control, and the guitar/mix/synth switch make it easy to change settings or instruments during performances.

Handily, the TriplePlay comes complete with all the software you’ll need for recording, editing and playing back your music. With the easy and blazingly fast note encoding, preset editor and mixing console, you’ll be mixing your own music in no time. Bundled with the TriplePlay are:

– Native Instruments – KOMPLETE Elements and GuitarRig LE
– Notion Music – PROGRESSION 2
– IK Multimedia – SampleTank 2 XT and AmpliTube Custom Shop
– PreSonus – Studio One Artist TriplePlay Edition

Already lauded by players such as the legendary John McLaughlin, a MIDI guitar aficionado associated with the technology for some 27 years, the TriplePlay is set to revolutionise how we approach the electric guitar – so make sure you see it in action as soon as possible!
