Jam Origin works fairly well If you playing pretty straight forward chords.. FTP works very good and tracking is excellent
I have a Triple Play and if you go that route, you want to use no less than an i7 computer chip, 16GB of RAM,and Solid State hard drive for the best latency.
I understand..thanks for the heads up..
To be honest I did not expect that I would could go a "cheap solution".
The fishman,the software stuff and for sure a new laptop..ugh..
In the end I will end up again paying like buying an expensive modeller...But this is the way it works..you always get what you pay for.
Do you use the system together with the kemper;

This is simply not true. The TriplePlay unit handles all of the tracking and MIDI conversion - you can use it directly into a hardware synth if you want. Latency IS dependent on computer hardware, but not any more specific to the TriplePlay than anything else.
My laptop is well below your listed specs and, prior to selling my TriplePlay, it worked great with very low latency.
Don't use the TriplePlay software though, it's clunky.

If you're using a lot of samples, a solid state drive is a requirement. I installed the entire system on my Windows machine with an i5 and standard hard drive (same RAM). It was nowhere near the performance as my Mac with i7 and SS drive.
That's a requirement for using lots of samples, though - nothing to do with the TriplePlay itself. JamOrigin or a Roland GR or Ghost (I think that's the name?) saddles would have the same need.
@Nikos - no, the instruments are pretty good. The actual TriplePlay VST where you can change the unit's settings, or split the fretboard to play different synths with different strings/frets, I found to be slow and a bit buggy. You can use the unit just fine without it, you'd just have to deal with MIDI channels and that sort of thing yourself.
They may have fixed it up since I last used the software though.
Better use it with mac or ipad than pc
Yes Mac drivers are way better , for my money
I have but use it only for sound carpets.
To much latency on my Microsoft surface 3 Notebook with i5 , 4 GB-RAM and SSD drive.
At the moment I have not so much need for thism so I do not think for a stronger Notebook or even MAC
Does anyone of you guys tried the eastwest stuff;It was made for the Fishman TP so my big hope is that together with a powerfull processor no problems will appear..
I do not understand what you mentioned?
The question is about using these sample libraries :

I’m sure you already know this, but, If you adjust your playing technique to suit each instrument, the samples will sound much more authentic than they do in the demo.
I’ve not tried these Tripleplay libraries,but, I have used EastWest samples with older Roland Guitar Synth equipment.
Their multi-samples are very good, and they respond very well to touch and playing dynamics.
Flutes and other monophonic instruments work extremely well using a guitar controller. Polyphonic Acoustic instrument sounds work as well or better with guitar as they do with keyboards. Chords may not have all of the same harmonic interaction as the actual instrument - there is really no way to program that into the samples.
Are you interested in specific ethnic instruments? Will you be using them in full mixes, or on their own? Are you doing film/TV music?
