Mar 7, 2014 at 13:14 comment added georgi a completely synthetic approach has more chance of not diving into the uncanny valley, and far less chance of actually sounding "real". the sample libraries are very difficult to work with, and the results, while ranging from meh to ok at best, would resemble a string quartet more than any reasonable synth patch design? i agree with the purist view otherwise.
Mar 7, 2014 at 13:07 comment added leftaroundabout Beg to disagree, many string-oriented sample libraries are horrible these days. Also, as you say string instruments strictly require caring for microtonal details – not even the top-notch sample libraries are able to take care of this in all depth; a completely synthetic plugin actually has a more realistic chance to handle that aspect.
