This is because these players automatically apply up and down strokes to everything you play, ok for solos but a nightmare for chords and finger picking between the chords. One other problem I have come across is if you play a note at a set velocity and then play that same note a second time with the same velocity, it sounds different, more trebly. Not too bad since I can copy the midi blocks with the key switches in them and then just change where different chords might sit.

I have achieved success in getting the Amplesound VST player to play my chords with the correct fingering and on the right frets by using the key switches but I have to put them in at every chord change for consistent results. They are fine for that, they don't seem to be aimed at guitarists wanting to transcribe their guitar playing into samples, especially if you are a jazz player. One thing I've learned is that these VST's seem to be aimed at keyboard players wanting to play in an acoustic guitar finger picking or solo sound and to assemble strumming tracks. Thanks Jim, I hope it is of interest to those who might be looking at acoustic guitar VST's.
