Hi, I would love a Real Track of a High String Guitar. For years a staple of country productions and used to great effect by The Eagles. It’s difficult to point out with an example, as it affords percussive texture without getting in the way. Just equalizing the existing acoustic guitars is a poor substitute.
Pizzicato strings is a great effect to be able to use to boost a section without getting in the way.
High Strings - Again it’s a wonderful way to add depth and shine without muddying the mix.

Support all options, especially the Pizzicato Strings. A great sound that can be used for brilliant effects.

+1 for all three for both RTs and MIDI.
OK, a random thought;
Why does toilet paper need a commercial? Who's not buying it?
64 bit Win 10 Pro, the latest BiaB/RB, Roland Octa-Capture audio interface, a ton of software/hardware

With regards to the "high-strings" suggestion. Do you have any youtube examples that highlight specifically what you had in mind as a final result?
With regards to pizzicatto strings, that's also a great idea. Because of the nature of pizz strings, this could potentially be a MIDI Supertrack. Legato strings typically sound pretty bad when using midi samples, but pizzicato by it's nature works quite well, since each note is basically a self-contained bit of audio.
