Can hardly wait Jamsire!

In terms of pure tracking, I think they're very close. The TriplePlay does a really nice job. I may not have it set up perfectly, but I believe I have it set up pretty well. It is superior to anything I've gotten from a GK pickup, but the xtSA tracks a touch better for me. As I mentioned earlier, I ...

I'd kind of forgotten that this thread started about the Fishman TriplePlay. I guess I have to give the edge to the xtsa, but the TriplePlay works very well. Especially given that it requires nothing between itself and the destination device. The fact that the usb dongle can be plugged directly into ...

I have much to report. First I want to thank everyone that's chimed in with help. The Guitar: Since my last post, I pulled the trigger and swapped the used xtSA for a new one. All the difference in the world. Clearly, there was an issue with the first one so good riddance. It now sounds excellent ...

Wow. I didn't realize you had a VG 99. I thought you were just using your GR 30. I don't know what's happening either. Maybe there is something goofy about this xtSA. Like I said, it was a returned guitar at MF. If the GR 30 works differently, maybe I'll return it and spring for the extra few ...

I've gotten things tuned a bit more, but the more I read, the more I'm convinced that the VG 99 just doesn't like piezo based hex pickups. this is disappointing, but I can live with it if guitar to midi works well with the GR 30. I'm really surprised that with the gear I have, the Triple Play tracks ...

Interesting. I checked. I am running 1.04 so that's not the issue. However, in the Roland VG 99 Editor, the options you list there don't exist. However, on the device they do. I tried them all and none seem to make any difference. It sounds like the pickup is overdriving the system. However, when ...

Yes, I have the latest firmware. I also have the pickup type set to 'Piezo' and I have each string's sensitivity set appropriately. If there are any other relevant settings, I'm all ears.

I also threw in a fresh battery. No help.

Really great stuff Jamsire. I'm really anxious to try your 12 string thing. I have discovered something interesting. I bought a Godin xtSA today. My intention was to use it through a VG99 that I already have. Wow is this ever a colossal fail. Useless combination. I found a few posts here and there ...

It's a blast Yuma. I can't stop. My fingers are going to start bleeding.

And given that I can't play keyboards, it's critical to me.

Thanks Yuma. I found those three vids last night and watched them. Good stuff. I can't decide if I had more fun watching them or if he had more fun making them! "All Day!" I'm really intrigued by his idea of using the high strings from a 12 string set. I can completely see the advantage. I wonder ...

Thanks for all the replies. I've been monkeying with bend settings and getting better results. Still not terribly natural sounding but certainly useful. As for the lack of velocity control problem, well that really has me stumped. It just suddenly started working! That bothers me because I have no ...

Awesome! Thanks Stephen! Makes me feel better about buying the Karma app for the Kronos not 24 hours ago! Also, I've determined that the dynamics issue definitely comes from the TriplePlay. I connected another guitar I have with a GK-3 and dynamics seem to be working fine. I'll play with the ...

I guess I'm in the tiny majority of people here that can't play keyboards to save my life but am lucky enough to own a Kronos X. While I can't play keyboards, I can play guitar reasonably well. Before I bought the Kronos, I'd bought a Fishman TriplePlay to have fun with a few soft synths. On a whim ...

I guess that could be taken a couple of different ways. Neither my Krome or my MOX has brought me to the level of incontinence, but I dearly love them both!

Best of luck!
