(DID I/WE just hi jack this thread?)

Short answer - you need a PC (or MAC) for the Fishman Triple Play.

It is a USB Plug and Play device, no additional drivers needed EXCEPT that supplied by the OS itself! So doubt it works sans OS.
As soon as you plug in the USB thumb receiver into PC a "Triple Play" MIDI I/O device shows up like any other MIDI I/O port on the PC (like my MIDISport 2x2, FW 410 MIDI I/O port, LoopBe 30, etc.)

You DO NOT need to install anything else.

However, to set string sensitivity, pitch bend range, tuning, etc. - you need to install the supplied SW.

Here the SW is what came with it LAST summer: SampleTank 2.5 XT (not the free ST 2), Komplete Elements MK2, PreSonus Progression, and Studio One 2 (aka free Studio one lite), and the Triple Play SW itself.

The supplied "Triple Play" SW (both 32 and 64 bit supplied), besides being an interface to overall device settings, s Fishman's version of a interface/mixer for the device (stand alone as it were) for up to four of YOUR VSTi plugins (plus what it comes with); your guitar audio (but up to you to get the actual guitar analog signal into the PC - however you already do it); and dedicated VI "pedal" (used mainly for sustain) input mixer channel.

I do not use the supplied Triple Play SW much, it's fun to play with but.... I just plug in the USB thumb drive and play my guitar into PT, RB, Sonar, etc. like any other external controller.

BTW I KEEP the SMALL supplied receiver (RX) "thumb drive" Velcroed to the Triple Play transmitter (TX) on guitar (soft material on the TX unit) and the "hook" part on the RX thumb drive. It costs money to replace that little bugger.
