- Jennifer Batten comes to the Sam Ash Spotlight to talk about the Fishman Triple Play Wireless Midi Guitar System. Watch Jennifer discuss her history with Synth Guitar from her days playing with legendary guitarist Jeff Beck. Jennifer praises the compact form factor of the Fishman Triple Play and how it has transformed the ability of artists to play this style of guitar while on tour.
Watch Jennifer play through some great riffs using just the Triple Play and her laptop. Jennifer also explains how to divide the guitar up into quadrants to create full arrangements with Bass, Synth, Drum, and Guitar each assigned to a distinct quadrant.

Was thinking about this system, seeing that Batten is endorsing the product was enough to convince me. She is one of those guitar players that doesn't get nearly the recognition she deserves, she is an amazing musician and you will never hear anyone play with better feel.
Great guitatists are Everywhere these days....Nowhere near enough to make you stand out anymore
Stevie's chromatic harp at the very end did it for me! Thanks, Jen.
That's almost too perfect, like you would expect a little more grit from the actual harp. But yes, very impressive.
I caught everything when I saw Jeff, RIP. It was amazing to hear those synth sounds coming from her guitar. Blew me away. I had no idea what was going on, how was she doing that? I went out and got a GK-3. This IS the next step in that evolution! She also went toe-to-toe with Jeff, until he turned and walked away. She was on her Game. Great concert.
Thank you, Jennifer, for the demonstration. - In particular for mentioning that you could drive a hardware synth without a computer in between. You had me check the manual of the FC-1 foot controller, and it states so with a diagram.
Note that two people at Fishman didn't understand my question, and that someone at Thomann said it couldn't be done. EDIT: I misinterpreted Thomann's response.
You explained a number of things that made me want to buy it!
She plays the intro to 'I am the walrus' by Beatles
I just bought a used one, can't wait to receive it. Glad to see this positive feedback :-) And what a demonstration! Great guitar player
Wow, you mesh really well with that pickup. You're the first person on you tube who really knows how to use that thing Very cool, you rock!
Best video on midi guitar I've found after a lot of looking, thank you!
Great demo. The string bending and whammy bar track really well. Stevie sounds authentic. I used to play a Midi guitar. Out came a grand piano solo, and no-one noticed or even cared. Oh well, that's show business!
Very informative. Thanks for posting this, Jennifer. I really wish you lived next door to me.
wonderful job Jennifer. I think you sold me on this product. I guess I gotta go get one. I have the old 13 pin system that might have outlived its usefulness. Thanks
Batten is the best !
Thank you Jennifer
That is one cool controller! Loved the harmonica!
Brilliant player!
Hi Jennifer, maybe true temperament fretting system would be better with this synth system. Maybe you can add it to the green gold telecaster I gave you in Holland.
Brilliant! Love it!
The good stuff: 4:01
AMAZING!
Jennifer Wow you are so wonderful !
Love your playing Jennifer!
Can I ask what software DAW you are using in your setup as well as hardware and patches for the Beatles Walrus, thanks.
Sorry I just now saw this-didn't get a notice. All the sounds are from the 140 presets that come dialed in with the TriplePlay. If you email me at battenposse@earthlink.net I'll send you a screenshot of the sounds
How easy is it to connect and use this with GarageBand?
I purchased the Fender Strat with factory fitted Fishman TP. Early days but so far, very frustrating. The unit seems to bundled with a very small amount of tones and everything seems to require a download which can take hours. At the moment live use seems fraught with time consuming set up problems. I feel the public are Beta testing this product. The wireless idea is awesome but I'm afraid the absolute ease of use delivered by Roland GR55 is making the FTP seem like an in the house toy.
It sounds great. I always did like this thing. I guess at this point I was kind of waiting to see it they would come out with a new and improved unit but I guess they just update it from time to time? Its been out for a number of years now. Also, anyone know what that thing is that she flipped up and down at the bottom of the neck?
Hell, you can assign different instruments to different strings....OR.....even assign different instruments to different frets on the SAME string......CRAZY Amazing!!! Talk about being a one-man band.....you can play different guitars, piano/synth, bass, and even Drums at the Same Time!!!! That is just Wicked Awesome!!!
This is a few years late; but, I think, you're referring to her string dampener. It's for legato playing: tapping
Does it work with Propellerhead Reason? Also I play left handed (left handed models, not hendrix style). Will this make any difference? i assume not but want to be sure
are there any latency issues?
Yes!
How do you connect your iPad to a guitar amp?
What is that strange mute thing on the neck you use?
Simple string dampener... idk why she is using such a strange device, perhaps to appear fancy. The great dave martone just uses a fuzzy hair band and I can testify it works! and is better, you can move the hair string up and down the strings (similar to a capo, but doesn't actually hold the strings down) and do some crazy harmonic effects..
Problem is...The hair tie thing doesn't work when you have a locking nut. It gets in the way when you try to push the tie off the neck.
Straight 8
Her own patent after Michelangelo's
This video isn't very representative of her work. She uses that pad on a lever as a string dampener to kill open-string ring out.
Not that important for most, but her tapping skills are INSANE. Check out the tapping riff on Jeff Beck, "What Mama Said". It contains a lot of 2 and 3-finger tapping on lower strings...which would ordinarily send the higher strings into resonance or accidental vibrations...thus ruining the "clean" sound.
broooo take my m,oney i got the roland gk can we do trhisss??
no bass pickup :(
Yes....there is!!!! But you can use this on guitar to play Bass sounds....so no need for separate bass
WAIT BEFORE YOU BUY... Fishman stopped doing business with East West, so all of the great sounds you hear.... you do not get. I got one this week April /2022, and am sending it back. Basically, all the old libraries have had their plug ins removed so they do not work. All you get is a Synth app and a Few Native Sound Packages. Basically all of the vids from Sam Ash , Sweetwater, and everywhere else are all dated. Emailed with Fishman's Tech support for hours (They won't answer the phone). Basically the Triple Play software is garbage at this point and I had to reinstall it 4 times to get the basic plug -ins to work becuase it still tries to install legacy libraries . Wasted 8 hours of actual Playing time on screwing with software, which I do every day at work. ... very disappointed.
I saw this same frustrated post from you on other TriplePlay videos. Just to be clear, yes you are correct that TriplePlay is no longer bundled with the same software, and yes EastWest no longer offers their MIDI guitar series, but it seems to me that you are being overly negative. Fishman is not trying to trick you. The installer asks you to click skip (i.e. skip installing the legacy patches) if this is a new installation, so it tries to help you avoid this. I get it, if you just click through the prompts without reading you can get a library of patches installed that won't work. And yes, TriplePlay has been out for years, and the bundled content has changed, so now older CZcams videos are not fully up to date. But consider that the TriplePlay software has been updated for free many times, for example we just introduced support for VST3 format. And consider that we developed a free iPad app "Connect" for TriplePlay. And consider that you can (for example) sign up for EastWest's composer cloud package, which I think is $20/month and get thousands of great sounds, or you can purchase NI's Komplete bundle, or many folks already have tons of virtual instrument plugins, or hardware synths, and some are savvy $$$ savers and download any of hundreds (maybe thousands) of free VST VI plugins. TriplePlay is first and foremost a guitar MIDI controller, and can work with just about anything. The latest free plugin for Mac and Windows I just came across is really quite good, called Numa Player by Studiologic, which also works on iPad; give it a try!
You are so right!
Who cares about those sounds, I'm trying to create polyphonic brilliance with the expressiveness of a guitar
@@zapmando I get it ... but there is too much delay no matter what you do. I also tried the other options with this, and when you are recording a 500 ms delay is a killer

Got tired of wasting sting time on troubleshooting instead of playing. Try a V GP-200 ... did the whole Deep Water Album Straight to the Board
Cheers

How much are they
Ha Haaa...pretty cool...pretty cool.
Looks good. But I read the warnings about endless downloading and set up glitches. No doubt there are also passwords registrations and authorisations to further fuck with your head. Ive had enough of all this crap from line 6 products like the UX2 and variax guitar. An instrument is to be plugged in and played. End of. And in this respect IT is spoiling music.Finally, you cant actually beat real strings, piano, sax etc..we do all know this dont we. Great video though and total respect for a sublime musician.
Huh. I was underwhelmed by the sounds demo'd. Advertising below the video shows that the wireless pickup is $400 and the floor controller is $200. At $600, what makes this better than a GR-55? Wireless isn't selling me on that, two voices isn't selling me, the kinda-cheap-sounding sounds aren't selling me, and apparently not having anything like guitar and amp models, not having many many hundreds of sounds, etc. isn't selling me either.
You definitely have all those things. And the sounds are way better on this than on a GR-55, especially violins and pianos... It is much better...
With a GR-55, it really is meant to be a self-contained system. The GK-3 pickup works great with the Roland unit, but not on virtual instrument libraries. Believe me, I really tried to make the GR-55 work on virtual instrument libraries, but I kept triggering false notes (like two octaves away), and just could not control virtual instruments. That all changed when I installed the Fishman Triple Play pickup. It lives up to the advertisements, tracks incredibly well, and I was happy to sell my GR-55 and get the FTP. But if you like the GR-55 sounds and are content to keep them, then the Roland is fine. I decided it better to trade off the GR-55 internal sounds for the extra control that is possible with the Fishman.
Oh, the GR-55 does NOT even compare!!! It costs TWICE as much and is lucky to be HALF as good!! I also considered a Boss SY-300...great unit but not nearly as versatile. It requires NO special pickup or anything extra at all, which is realy cool
I'd love to agree with you, but then we would both be wrong. ;) Now, Jennifer Batten is a bad ass, at least we can agree on that one. But the GR-55 is more versatile. Roland has always had some great synth sounds, and it also has modeling starting at the guitar level. You can use the mag pickups, but if you use the software tones, you can take advantage of a ton of alt tunings without touching anything. Finally, while the wireless is nice, you still have to bring out an amp AND a laptop or tablet to play live. Or, you can bring one box, plug into it, then direct into the PA and it's on.
it all depends.run superior drummer with it and its great .guitar rig.shit like that but lower grate stuff will sound just like low grate shit.
YEEeeees. SORRY TO HARP ON: But lets see it performing while recording in some popular DAWs please. Cut dog and pony show, and show what it can REALLY do. Shortcomings an all. let's have a real look at what this excellent midi-interface can do in a recording situation. then mbe tripleplay will fess up to the considerable fall-shorts on thisotherwise incredible product, address the problem, fix it and lead the market. or not.... Fullfils the promise when in freestanding plugin mode: if only i could get it to function with all aspects active and control-accessible while recording in a DAW.
13 Pins...is way too many pins...7 pins...maybe.
Want to hear something that needs a guitar and can't be played well on keys~
All of the best sounds from a 1980s walmart casio keyboard!
Does NOT matter AT ALL....because you can use ANY midi or vst library sounds you want!! I heard people playing libraries other than what comes with it and they sounded......AMAZING!!!!
David Belcher Exactly! Well said. Encryptor is Clueless.
I just bought one for the synth patches I already have, just a midi controller with some tech that is guitar specific
Don't expect the harmonica or any of the sounds here. They discontinued the patches. FUCKING SUCKS
people want to be Matt Bellamy, no playing piano on Guitar :V
be warned.my buddy bought one that was built in a fender guitar for 1400$,he could have got one for 800 without the fishman .i go to install everything for him,the registration code won;t work.so i sent a few e-mails and no response ,then i say fuck it i'll just call.never an answer but you can leave a message , even left my number for someone to call be back,NOT ONE E-MAIL OR PHONE NOTHING.great gadget but terrible support.and it can control almost any midi software you have.just don;t count on them to help you for shit.
COPYRIGHT INFRINGEMENT!!! Class action suit, please.
It doesn't look very convincing if you see a guitar, but hear a harmonica. Like if there was a machine to turn a woman's voice to sound like Elvis, wouldn't it look just ridiculous, regardless of how it sounds? YMMV.
yzimsx same with keyboards then
Jeuel Sapad good comeback.
