Fishman, mostly known for their acoustic guitar pickup systems, just announced the release of their new guitar midi controller, the “TriplePlay”. Unabashedly calling it “the best Midi guitar controller the world has ever seen”. It uses a very thin hexophonic pickup that easily mounts to the guitar with no permanent modifications, and uses a wireless receiver to connect with your Mac, PC or iPad. It also comes with an assortment of software from PreSonus (StudioOne Artist), Native Instruments (Kontakt Elements and GuitarRig LE), IK Multimedia (SampleTank and Amplitude Custom Shop) and Notion Music (PROGRESSION 2). It’s available at most retailers now for $399.99. More info HERE.
Joe Gore, who will be demo-ing the system for Fishman at Musikmesse, did a couple of unofficial demos on his blog, and it looks really impressive.
