in addition to all the foregoing, playing a musical as a guitarist would play or, for that matter, "strumming" a keyboard are decidedly difficult emulations more so than the simple attack and tone. The samples are rather pretty good on the whole. Playing to sound like a guitarist playing a guitar is rather lacking on the whole.
That said, the velocity levels on virtual pianos are not quite the same as playing a piano. Close sound wise, not very close dynamic wise. HOWEVER, I noticed, oddly, since I have only owned one Roland synth (a Jupiter 80 mks module - or something like that which, I believe I practically gave away, but I digress) the new Roland "Flagship" (don't know why that term always reminds me of the TITANIC), the new Jupiter 80, as odd looking and BIG as it may be, has it seems better velocity sensing than samples.
I have not owned the instrument or played it enough for this to be authoritative or for this opinion to be the basis of someone's purchase decision, but it did seem a step in the right direction with the acoustic instruments including the acoustic and/or classical guitar.
