all strings from NI sounds plastic, -maybe suitable for certain styles tho. nothing beats Spitfire.

 

I'm not contradicting your preferences - but Action Strings 2 and Spitfire are not mutually exclusive.
The features for managing phrasing and articulation here look very interesting and the midi generated from those can be applied to whatever libraries you prefer - including other than strings if you want.
Of course that's not unique but these do look interesting. I'm looking forward to exploring it (one day soon?)

 

Amazing! The first one was fantastic. This looks like it's on steroids with the capabilities it has.
