Anderton,
 
I went back to compare AAS strummer with those that I have. There are 2 things that I don't like:
1. In Auto mode as soon as a 3rd key is pressed you get a strum which is great if you press the keys all at once, but if your doing an arpeggio you have to make sure only 2 keys remain done at a time or you get an unrealistic strum.
2. Compared to most of the competitors the sound is very flat, dull.

The thing I like is in manual mode, I like the strum\single string keystrokes that you can do while holding the chord down.

BTW, I enjoyed your x1 workshop videos. 

AAS is a little quirky and their tutorials can take a few reads to get the usage down pat, but I quite like it's sound even though it's not completely realistic. Probably not what the OP was asking for but I've used it in several recordings with some success.

I got the Pettinghouse AcousticGuitar and I must say I like it a lot. Great sound and strums sound very real...
 

It is funny how much more sophisticated and picky we get each year.  A few years ago, I would have killed for something like AAS.  I love RealGuitar, but if all I had were AAS, I would make still make records.

What do you think of the AAS strummer included with X3E Producer? I haven't used it much because I play guitar.

I just think it sound horrible.  Despite the fact that they apparently use modeling in an attempt to create a realistic sound, it sounds as bad or worse than the guitar sounds on an old SoundCanvas.  I used to use Virtual Guitarist and even with its limitations, sounded a million bucks better than AAS Strummer.

+1
I agree. Unusable for me.
