Triple Play Connect : Fast and accurate, but doesn't do continuous pitch-bending

4 years ago

For context: I use this as a pure pitch-to-MIDI adapter.

The dinky little proprietary plugin/app is irrelevant to me, because I plug it into either a hardware synth or my Linux DAW.

It _does_ register pitch-bends, but only transmits them in semitone steps.

The good: it works quickly and reliably, once you get it set up.

The less-good:

- It's fiddly to install. At least you expect that, so it doesn't come as a surprise.

- The aforementioned pitch-bend issue.

As long as you think of it as a way to get a guitar-shaped keyboard, it doesn't have any real competition.

If you want guitar-like expressivity with pitch-bends and vibrato _and_ multi-string pitch-tracking, you need to look at Roland/Boss or Sonicsmith and spend a lot more.

I rated it "average" for sound, because that's irrelevant for a MIDI device and there's no "not rated" option.
