On a Gibson LP with Hipshot Tone-A-Matic bridge, it wouldn't fit between the bridge and pickup. On my PRS SE Mira and LTD Viper 201B baritone, it fit, but with it raised as high as possible, it was still far lower than it's supposed to be from the strings. It must be designed for Strats or Teles. So I jury-rigged a shim to be able to try it out... WOW... the tracking is unbelievably terrible! I played a slow, simple, 3-note riff into a DAW and it tracked as many as 24 different notes!!! (See pics. You can see which 3 notes were intentionally being played.) The software is terrible. It immediately crashed upon scanning my plugin folder during its first run (on a brand new PC w/96GB RAM and 14th Gen Intel i9 24-core CPU). It supposedly can send each string on a different MIDI channel, but I couldn't find any setting to accomplish this with. It does let you divide the fretboard into 4 quadrants that play different synths within the app, but there's no way to do this within the DAW, so what is the point if you can't actually do anything beyond playing around with it?! But even if all of that DID work, the tracking is SO bad, it's completely unusable. So I got the Behringer PP1 eurorack module (which requires a eurorack power supply module to use). This works SO much better at converting guitar to MIDI in realtime. The trick is to use the neck pickup and roll the tone all the way off to 0. I also have EMGs with a VMC variable mid control, and using that to further cut ~1kHz all the way, the PP1 actually tracks better than any other device or software I've used for this. It still gets a few stray or wrong notes, but not so many that can't quickly be edited. The problem with this is, you have to dial in the guitar to be completely muddy for it to track well enough, so you can't simultaneously play the guitar as a guitar thru an amp AND have it converting/sending MIDI to a synth. It's also monophonic. The TriplePlay is supposedly polyphonic, but it's SO BAD that it doesn't even matter... it's completely unusable. It's because it's taking a signal straight from the strings right next to the bridge, where a guitar is the most trebly and mid-forward. It NEEDS to hear ONLY the fundamental in order to track half decently. You have to use a neck pickup AND cut all the treble (and high-mids, if possible) in order to have ANY chance of a usable, reliable-enough, outcome. The PP1 can take a mic input and convert your voice (or anything you can mic) into MIDI. I haven't tried it yet. It also has CV and Gate outputs for integration with any modular synth devices. I've been underwhelmed, at best, by most Behringer products I've used, but the PP1 is the most usable realtime guitar -> MIDI converter I've used... The Fishman TriplePlay guitar MIDI pickup is the absolute worst guitar -> MIDI converter I've used. ## Frequently Bought Together - Fishman TriplePlay Express USB-C MIDI Guitar Pickup - CME MIDI Cable 4-Pack - 1FT / 30cm, 5-pin DIN, Low-Profile - Mirrored 45-Degree Angled Ultra-Thin Plugs for Compact Spaces - Ideal for MIDI Interface, Pedalboard, Keyboard --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.us/products/687710301-fishman-tripleplay-express-usb-c-midi-guitar-pickup-for-6](https://www.desertcart.us/products/687710301-fishman-tripleplay-express-usb-c-midi-guitar-pickup-for-6) --- *Product available on Desertcart United States of America* *Store origin: US* *Last updated: 2026-05-10*
