Hi AJ/Don

Regarding your post on the Ketron Forum about using the pianist mode.

I've just started using the SD40 and the Fishman Triple Play, I've found that with the pianist set to auto the SD40 recognises three string chords and allows you to solo using one or two strings, if you set the pianist to standard then the chord changes every time you play a single string. The auto setting also works very well without using a sustain pedal.

Hope this helps, I'm really enjoying the SD40 and my guitar playing is improving day by day.

PS: The string sensitivity on the Triple Play needs adjusting to suite your style of playing, this is a simple operation using the Triple Play software.

Kind Regards, Col

For string pads, and slower passages, the sound source isn't that important, but for the best tracking, you really need to use the dedicated software that Fishman provides, directly into a computer. Tracking is much improved this way.
BTW - I have a Godin Montreal Triple Play ... awesome guitar in every way. I can route the Piezo saddle pickup to the PA, hum buckers to a guitar amp, and the wireless midi signal to the sound source (kb/computer, etc) ... spacious, and lush. Best all around instrument I own, but too heavy to wear all night long, so I save it for studio use. My main guitars (FrankenSTRAT, Taylor T%z) for work are each under 5 lbs, and lemme tell ya ... it's much appreciated after 3-4 hours.

Dave, does Godin still make guitar models with the built in Fishman Triple Play? In checking the internet...it appears they don’t.

Hmmm ... not sure if they sti;l make them, but you can still buy them. Here's the one I have at Sweetwater:

Thanks Dave...Is this the one you said was heavy?
JM

LOL ... yes, but mine is about 8lbs. That 3 lbs makes a difference over four hours on your feet. I know, I'm a woose - that's one reason I never had a Les Paul!

Hi Col, just ordered the Fish man Triple play, Ive always used a midi system my guitar, this method seems amazing. No bulky floor unit, no tangle of wires!!. How have you been progressing since ?, what are you latest thoughts on your current setup.

Would some sort of looper work for that ?

John you could always try it this way with your guitar ..

We do have a "Looper" feature which we will be demonstrating soon!

Thanks,

AJ
