I have a Fisman Tripleplay that actually tracks really well. I think it’s the best solution out there for using a guitar to play synths. I use it with VST instruments and it does a decent job. I bought the Triple Play about 6 years ago with a desire to play synths with my guitar because guitar was the instrument I could sort of play. Much like you I realized the time would be better spent actually learning to play the guitar. That being said I haven’t used the Triple Play a whole lot, I’ve since jumped as deep as possible in Jazz Theory for guitar. In many ways the Triple Play sparked my passion for the guitar. The theory and things I’ve learned about music has been extremely helpful in that now I can apply things to an actual keyboard. I do think I’ll get back to using the Triple Play at some point but right now I’m just consumed with guitar playing.

Jazz hands!
