It would be nice to have real tracks for strings (violins, etc.).
Midi strings can't be added to a real tracks style and sound terrible anyway.

I'm curious to know why you believe that strings can't be added to RT styles! The vast majority of styles are hybrids of MIDI and RT components. It is definitely possible to create styles that combine MIDI strings with real tracks. And regarding how good they sound, that's a function of the sound module, and that puts the quality directly in your control.

That doesn't mean it wouldn't be cool to have strings real tracks! I could really use a great cello with all the acoustic nuances, harmonics, intermittent vibrato, sring squeak etc intact
