I have added the link to the MR thread for any XP users watching it.

IMHO Windows XP was a tough (but not impossible) OS to setup just right for music at all, never mind the RAM limit.

Wouldn't be my choice for music and DAWs these days for sure, Win 7 and MAC OS ftw.

Too early to call on Win 8 and the soon to be Win 9 or whatever they call it. I read that Microsoft are going to get locked into a similar OS update round as Apple.

But XP is now defunct, unsupported and legacy so bye bye to it.

THE FTP GUI CONTROL PANEL APP WILL NOT RUN ON WINDOWS XP
















The TriplePlay hardwire consists of three parts: the controller, the pickup, and the receiver.




A. Volume knob. Controls the TriplePlay mixer's Master fader, setting the overall volume for your virtual instruments and guitar sounds.
B. Guitar/Synth Selector switch. In the middle Mix position, you hear both the Guitar channel and any active Synths channels. With Guitar selected, all synth channels are muted, and you hear only the Guitar channel. With Synth selected, the Guitar channel is muted, and you hear only the virtual instruments on the synth channels.
C. D-Pad control. A set of four momentary buttons for navigating TriplePlay's Guitar Setup menu and scrolling between patches.
D. Controller LED button/status light. Both a pushbutton and an indicator light. Verifies battery power and the connection between your controller and receiver. When you power up the controller, the LED flashes once per second. Pressing both this button and the receiver's LED button/status light links the two components, at which point the controller's led light once every five seconds. Pressing the button again temporarily breaks the link, and the LED resumes flashing at its faster rate.
E. Charge indicator LED. Glows green while the controller is being charged. The light goes out when the controller is fully charged.
F. Power switch. Turns the controller on and off. (If you forget to turn off the controller, it automatically powers down after 30 minutes of inactivity. To power it up again, turn the switch off and then on again.)
G. USB power jack. Attach the included USB A to Micro USB B cable to charge the controller via the included adapter or most computer USB ports. (20HRS TYPICAL BATTERY LIFE)
H. Receiver LED button/status light. Both a pushbutton and an indicator light. When the receiver is first connected to one of your computer's USB ports, its LED flashes several times per second, which indicates that it's searching for a controller. Pressing both this button and the controller's LED button/status light links the two components, at which point the LED glows continuously. Pressing this button again temporarily breaks the link, and the LED resumes flashing at its faster rate.


TriplePlay software

The Perform window




A. Patch Readout area. Here you preview, select, load, and save your TriplePlay patches. (A "patch" is a snapshot of a TriplePlay setup, whose info includes your choice of instruments, fretboard layout, and other parameters.) More details in the Patch Readout area section of this document.
B. Sensitivity/Tuner area. This area doubles as a tuner and a calibration tool that fine-tunes TriplePlay to suit your playing style. For more info, see Sensitivity/Tuner area.
C. Mixer area. A virtual mixing board for adjusting the levels, panning, and solo/mute status of the guitar and synth sounds that comprise each patch. Its components and functions are covered in Mixer area.
D. Fretboard/Edit Splits area. Displays each note you play in real time. It's also where you create "splits" — patches that assign different sounds to different parts of the fretboard. More details in Fretboard/Edit Splits area.
E. Pull-Down Menus. Here you set your TriplePlay preferences, check for software updates, and call up various views and windows. The specific menus are detailed in the Pull-Down menus section of this document.
