There probably are other guitar sample libraries and products that have upward and downward strum functionality, but these are the ones I am comfortable recommending. SLIDE Acoustic Steel String Guitar (Orange Tree Samples)

The Orange Tree Samples' Slide Acoustic Steel String Guitar is intriguing and is the companion product for their Acoustic Steel Guitar product. Orange Tree Samples has two other types of guitars-an Electric Guitar and a Slide Acoustic Steel Guitar. Īcoustic Steel String Guitar (Orange Tree Samples) Orange Tree Sample also has guitar products, where for example the Acoustic Steel String Guitar product has upward and downward strums, which are controlled via a keyswitch, which makes it practical for use with NOTION, where for reference a "keyswitch" typically is a note or key on the piano that is not used to play a note on the particular instrument, hence usually would unused, but since it is there and not doing anything, the folks who create sampled sound libraries had the idea of using these notes or "keys" to do a bit of controlling, so while it does not play a note, if you press the key on the keyboard, then it tells the engine playing the sampled sound library to do something, which in this instance is to use an upward strum or a downward strum, as the case might be. If you are interested in Lap Steel Guitar, then Orange Tree Samples has a very nice product. ĮWQL has a very intriguing set of Beatles instruments called "Fab Four", and it has acoustic and electric guitar samples with upward and downward strums. MachFive 3 (MOTU) has a Telematic electric guitar which has a virtual festival of advanced playing techniques, some of which are controlled via scripting, but it is not so easy to program, and there are approximately 10,000 keygroups, so it takes a while to load and requires a lot of system memory to be usable smoothly in real-time, but so what. Pure Mandolin for Kontakt (Bolder Instruments) If you need a Mandolin with upstroke and downstroke, then Bolder Sounds has one for Kontakt 5 (Native Instruments). I think you are correct about this, but there are sampled sound products that provide both upward and downward strumming.

Anthonyparkison wroteAs a test, after reading through the user guide, I entered into N5 the examples shown on various pages, and I still come up with what essentially would be a down-stroke played in succession.
