Read Me First
Installation of this product is a simple procedure, but we recommend this job
only if you are experienced performing minor adjustments to your guitar. If
you are uncomfortable with this work, consider having an experienced repair
technician complete the installation.
What is Connect?
Connect translates your guitar performance into MIDI, a language understood
by music software and hardware. Connect is not an audio interface. Connect is
a new way of using your guitar to create musical textures unlike anything achiev-
able with traditional guitar pickups. With Connect, a guitar can sound like any
instrument, real or imagined.
In a Hurry? Plug-n-Play!
The Connect controller will work with software that supports MIDI. This may even
include hardware and software not meeting Connect’s written requirements. The
Connect controller will power up in a basic MIDI mode, when connected to a
tablet, computer or mobile device, allowing use with applications that accept
MIDI. Simply connect the provided USB or Lightning cable to your tablet,
computer or mobile device. The Connect controller will appear in most
software as a MIDI device with a single MIDI channel for all guitar string outputs.

Controller Installation
Mounting the TriplePlay Connect Controller
Although the controller can be mounted wherever it is comfortable, most players
prefer to attach the controller to the included mounting bracket held on by the
strap button(endpin). The controller attaches to its mount via a magnetic plate.
This magnetic plate can be attached to the guitar directly, with its stick-on adhe-
sive, or you can use one of the provided metal endpin brackets to avoid applying
adhesive directly to the face of your guitar.
Controller Installation - Option 1
1.Loosen the guitar’s endpin strap button slightly (Fig 1).
2.Slide the slotted segment of the mounting bracket between the strap
button and the guitar’s body.
3.Slowly re-tighten the screw, verifying that the surface of the mounting
bracket remains parallel to the top of the guitar.
4.Peel away the adhesive backing from the included controller mount
(magnetic plate).
5.Carefully position the controller mount against the metal endpin
bracket, and burnish the adhesive to the bracket to completely secure
the adhesive.
6.Place the controller on the mount so that the magnets set in place.

Controller Installation - Option 2
Mounting the Connect controller directly on your guitar’s body
In some cases the controller will need to attach directly to the guitar in order to
make sure the wire attached to the pickup has enough length to allow the pickup
to sit underneath the strings as close to the bridge as possible. Checking this
length will help determine whether or not the endpin bracket can be used. The
majority of electric guitars will be able to accommodate the endpin bracket
without any issues. Large hollow body electric guitars and acoustic guitars may
require the magnetic bracket to attach directly to the guitar.
1.Determine your ideal controller position.
2.Remove the controller and clean the application area with a soft lint
free cloth.
3.Press the controller and mount together so that the magnets “click”
into place.
4.Peel the adhesive from the controller mount.
5.Carefully position the controller at your ideal position, and then press
the controller and controller mount against the guitar top. (Fig 2)
6.Remove the controller and verify that the controller mount is securely
attached to the guitar, burnishing the mount and adhesive to the guitar
with your thumb.
