You can always draw in your own chords. I do that a lot. You get more control  over how the pick strokes the strings that way. Players don’t always strum evenly across the strings. I often accelerate during the stroke (I’m expecting lots of jokes now – get your minds out of the gutter). But it’s certainly more tedious.

Thanks. That’s great to know. So that means the developer didn’t sample the chords (which is what I thought was the case and leads to no versality — that is you can’t take a sample triad and turn it into a suspended 2nd or 4th, diminished chord, 6th, 7th, 9th, 11th, etc.) but uses single note samples? And then he’s built a script with an arpeggiator to do chord strums / arpeggiated parts?

This Ronroco library does use extensive chord /arp samples.  There is no scripting for chords or strumming.  I think @fretman was just pointing out the ability to play/draw MIDI chords using the single note articulations.  I will also note that there are note tremolo articulations but they are fixed tempo samples.  Still- for the price it is well sampled and there are quite a few chord/arp samples that some might find useful.  Installed size is @ 3.8 G

Thanks for the clarification, Brian. So the library uses loops for the arpeggios and strummed chords? Which is what I thought. Are there up and down strum keys? The tone of the sampled instrument does sound lovely — and I acknowledge I’m super picky when buying sample libraries. I just don’t want to spend money on a library that can’t do what I need, even if it is really inexpensive.
