I agree to the piano. Modern country.

FWIW, as a full blown sequencer, Real Band DOES support MIDI... and keyboards and strings are two things that MIDI does very well.
If you want to add those you can do the following:
1) from the style picker, select a style that has keyboard and string in a style that matches your song
2) right click on a midi track and from the floating menu, pick "Generate MIDI track"
3) pick the instrument you want to add (Strings or keyboard)

I agree about strings.
There already are a lot of real tracks that include piano. Besides, piano is probably the instrument most emulatable (?) through MIDI, mainly because the most common type of MIDI controller is a piano-type keyboard. If one is not satisfied with the sampled pianos in one's GM and other multi-instrument collections, there are very good piano sample libraries one could buy. (One I recently tried, inexpensive, and low on disk and other resources needed, yet a very nice sound, is called Pianissimo by Acoustica. It only costs around $70 (free demo version available for download), and combines sample-playing with virtual modeling, and only uses I think about 250MB disk space, as opposed to the large multi-GB sample libraries.
I disagree with Pat about strings though. Despite all the excellent string sample libraries around, I think it is hard to emulate string-playing well through MIDI. And, bowed strings are definitely under-represented in the current RealTracks, with I think perhaps one or two solo fiddles in bluegrass styles, if I remember correctly.
It would be nice to have a Real Strings package, of whole string sections playing chord progressions, etc.

yes yes YES! I would love to be able to add real pop piano and lush strings to some projects. Oh, flute and piccolo too. Heck, more support for orchestral and classical in general!

Not quite sure what you mean, Pat. I understand how to select a .sty with midi strings into RB. Are you suggesting doing this just to get the "strings" onto a track and then have real tracks for the rest? If so, this is a good idea and many thanks.

Do you think that we are in the fringes? By that I mean that Country, Rock, and current pop selections have the most instruments to choose from. I sort of understand why this is, but I don't know what the market is for the stuff we are asking for. There's quite a bit of jazz stuff which is what I use the most. However, jazz has now become more popular in other countries than here in the U.S.. I realize that PC Music is in Canada an probably caters more to the international market demand than a U.S. music company might. I do wonder how many folks, besides me, would be buying string, brass, and woodwind tracks??

Shas, I would be using those instruments in pop, rock and country tunes. Why not?
