The name TriplePlay references Fishman’s software bundle that allows you to record using PreSonus Studio One Artist, compose with Notion Music – Progression 2.0, and perform with Native Instrument’s Kontakt Komplete Elements and GuitarRig LE as well as IK Multimedia’s SampleTank XE and Amplitube Custom Shop software. Fishman’s own TriplePlay software lets you pick and control up to four virtual instruments at a time with your guitar. You could, for example, set your two lowest strings to an acoustic bass virtual instrument and the upper strings to sound like a nylon string guitar or electric piano.
