Would the Tripleplay be reasonable for use in live performance situations? Can you change sounds quickly enough to make it work?

Yes. But with some possible limitations on the number of voices that can be stored in the unit.

You must use a computer or record a loop/track and play along. The controller dial can be used to select sounds during a song but it takes a little time to make the change since the dial is located at the bottom of the controller. If you want to use sat three or four different sounds you build a new file which when open can be dialed in, up or down to get the sequence. I use a radial splitter and two volume pedals so I can blend the fishman vst and the guitar

IMHO, you will be dealing with the same kind of limitations/challenges as any other PC based configurations for live sets. If you are brave enough to work with computers in live performance, just consider the triple Play as any other controller. Delays and change in sounds will depend strongly on your computer configuration. Hope it helps.

I think that would depend on how fast the computer you used it with is. So far I have not been able to do this with my laptop.

Yes, you can. It comes with a remote that lets you do that, as well as alter slide show speed, turn off and on, and some other features...I think you can alos play music with this, but don't have it in front of me, and I don't normally play music with these.

Select "Audio/Video Switch" and then "Impact Acoustics 3-PLAY". Works great on mine!

There are several controls, bass, Treble, mono, sound virtualized. However they seem only minimally effective for me.

It will work, but you'll prolly have no lights. It'll send the MIDI but unless a DAW knows how to "talk back" to it, no lights will come up. If that DAW is automatically listening for MIDI data, it'll work out of the box. If there's a place to select MIDI controllers or enable them, you should only have to do that. Bottom line, it'll probably work, but you're also better off with a keyboard or control surface, in my opinion. EDIT: It does come with Ableton Live, albeit a very limited version of it. My suggestion is: Do stuff in your DAW, and then export the audio from the instruments. Load in Ableton and do all sidechaining on it (EQing before bouncing is fine). That way, should you want the LP S for Live Performances, you can use it. If you want it for production, I suggest you get something else. Novation has great keyboards with sliders and knobs, I'd get that.

Sorry I never responded... You can do 4 mono or 2 stereo. A lot of this varies on your software. I didn't like the ProTools Express software and grabbed Music Creator 6 Touch and that only allows 2 inputs max (doesn't matter what hardware you have) so I upgraded to Sonar X3 and yes I can do 4 tracks with that.

I tried it at a concert and the video looks good, but the sound volume decreases very much as soon as the low bass notes come in. I guess you could edit it afterwards and make it better. It does pick up everything very well when there's no bass, even when the audience is cheering or even when someone in the audience yells something. Here's a little video I made to demonstrate the quality. (Note: youtube compressed the video, but the sound is like the original video.)http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hO0hDh8rZkg

Interesting question. Sounds like fun. I haven't done this but you would have phenomenal sound if you did. The amount and quality of sound coming out of one is more than I thought possible for something that small. But two! You would really have a party! Enjoy!

You can alter the tone for each sound. It has 4 "sounds" but I only use two with the variety of tones.

Yes...Do note that some spots in the venue will have better results. I would try M/S Raw mode @ 96khz/24bit (H2n) & mix the ambient/direct mix later for best results...

Yes. I have been thoroughly impressed by this unit. Multiple sound adjustments available.

I love the shimmer effect but it can be hard to use. There's often times a hash clipping on the reverb if you play a really harsh note all of a sudden. Really depends on what type of playing you're looking to use it for.

Technically yes but it just becomes a generic midi controller. You lose a lot of the features that prompt one to buy such a complex controller. There are better options at a lot cheaper prices for Live 8. Hope this helps.

You have 5 (five) preset stomp switches. Just use another preset that has monster distortion and compression, then go back to your favourite "light drive" afterwards. I set the one on the far right for solos, and the one on the far left for laying back. It's infinitely flexible.

Jason I like your approach and believe it will work very well as you describe. I agree the last thing one wants is to mess up the other music or instruments signals. Remember to first do what you can avoid microphone feedback. This unit can mess up you voice signal as well. We like our FBQ1000 and use it on every gig.

Hi Elisandro, of course you can. Just choose the effect with the memory pedals, then press write and exit buttons to edit. Now you can adjust the effect as desired by choosing the category you want (sound library buttons), and adjusting knobs to get the different variations. I hope it helps you.

It would not be best for this purpose. When you change the playback speed faster/slower, it changes the tempo as well as the pitch. Besides the speed variation may not be enough for your application. I would recommend using an MP3 music file and run it through an audio program that lets you change the tempo and the pitch independently. I use QuickTime Player 7.6.6. or you can use another program like "Audacity". It has so many options to change you sound tracks. Best of luck!!!
