228 (whoops you beat me!) now, but what in the buy do I want?
I downloaded Syntronik, but I'm a guitar player, does anyone use this thing?

Could use some input....

I'd be going after the MODO's and the Hammond if it were me, unless you already have them!

I will clarify, I was in when it was just Modo D and Modo B, the Hammond was a plus (and the buy went to 3 as I was demoing all three to be sure).

I have ST3, so level 4 was no biggie, but ST4 for "free" (and nothing in life is "free") was a bonus, but TBH, I yawned.

Now I have d/l'd Syntronik and frankly, WTF does one do with it? (remember, I'm a guitarist who can play 1 handed blues in the Key of C on the piano)

Any/all advice would be greatly appreciated..................

Well, since you're not a synth guy...I would take my time and go through the synths and sounds in it and
see what I could use...that would be my starting point, as a guitarist...

Seriously as being on the keyboard and never was able to figure out the guitar I don't actually have any words of wisdom for you. I'm looking on what to do myself if I actually go for the deal. I know I would use the Hammond...........................

I already have Sampletank 4 Max and Syntronik too. I think I would use MODO bass but I'm not to sure about MODO Drums. I have Razoon Jamstix already.

Midi Guitar by Jam Origin is brilliant!  It opens up the world that keyboard players have had a monopoly on for far too long. 😎

No Larry the right answer is:   Get a keyboard and start learning to play the keys  :D

You don't want to waste all those great sounds now do you?

THAT was the implication of "Going through the Synths and sounds" to see what you would
use was about...I'm not a keyboardist by ANY stretch, but I can play a line or two on a keyboard
and make it "work"

Wish I could say that about myself playing the guitar :(  I can't even strum a chord!

You COULD if you took the time to figure it out...lot's of resources to use...but unless you're
a prodigy, it takes TIME to learn the guitar...and I was no prodigy, and still can't play worth a hoot
after over 40 years of playing LOL

My stumbling block is I'm left handed and  when I tried guitar it seemed worse then trying to learn a foreign language.  I'm actually looking to go in another direction and hopefully get a wind controller to learn. I always wanted to learn how to play one and I have plenty of sounds to try out :)

THAT is the key!  It's what you REALLY want to do...not what you feel capable of.  Everyone is capable, even
though some "just get it" naturally (NOT me! LOL), it's just a matter of "do I REALLY want to", and "am I willing to put in the time"!
So if that's your inclination, and what you feel would benefit you the most, then that is absolutely the way
to go!  EVERYTHING, for most at the beginning, is like a "foreign language" (I speak several LOL)!  I remember when
I first started playing Eb Alto Sax in Elementary School...it took time...but I eventually started "getting it"...of course
right about that time, someone stole my Sax...and I couldn't play anymore, and moved to guitar!

I played the baby grand that was in the living room my whole childhood (my father, bless his heart, tried to have me "trained" to play the piano).
The wife and I packed an upright grand for years.
As stated above, I play a mean 1 handed blues in the key of C (I can, and do, lay down bass lines with the left and/or right hand)
But I'm no synthesist (one who plays the synth)........

If you haven't already get yourself a usb midi controller (keyboard) and run through some presets in Syntronik.

This may sound sarcastic, but I really don't mean for it to be: they do have left handed guitars, e.g. a Yamaha Pacifica 112JL

Wind controllers are cool too though
