I purchased it  and downloaded it at work since I have a slow connection  at home.
My first hurdle was transferring it from a thumb drive to my DAW, after the NI installer gave me fits for several reasons, I finally mounted the ISO image  virtually and was able to install sucessfully.
 
I love the plug in, I just wish there was a way to change the velocity switch point between major and minor it is fixed at I think 70 or so, and my controllers both are quirky with velocity, if  could raise the value higher I could obtain better control, Maybe i will drag out my old Yamaha MEP 4 and remap the velocity, but that means I would have  to use midi instead of USB...

Nice MM.....Emotive & Session Strings Pro is on my list to get. I have Action Strings which I really like a LOT and find it very useful/inspirational in writing songs/ideas quickly. It's great when using it with the free Clara Library!! :))

Is Greg's amazing Guitarz libraries cheating?

Yes, it is. And no, it isn't. I can argue it either way.
 
When I play a "violin" or "guitar" or "saxophone" on a synthesizer/sampler, I am not playing those instruments. However I am truly playing the one instrument I've spent half a century learning: the keyboard. That's my instrument.

I have never heard anyone say they liked Emotive before. I thought I was the only one.

Hey, Mesh, pm me about Session Strings Pro... I'm not using it with all the Spitfire/ProjSam investments... I really need to let others create awesomeness with things I am not using!  Need another SSD bad... you could be the start of an SSD fund by reuse...

I'm in no way a composer or a purist when it comes to string instruments, but if it sounds good straight out of the box......it's good enough for me. I feel the same way with KHS.
 
Action Strings is very useful as it plays nice little rhythmic grooves that I can easily build up from.......inspiration on the fly.....IMO.

I kind of sort of want EMOTIVE but I made the choice to upgrade BIAB instead. Had to make a cash flow decision. All in all BIAB will offer more possibilities over the long haul for me.

I use to be against electronic music and thought all of the above was cheating. I was thinking of some drum software at the time and came across a discussion on this topic. Somebody pointed out that if you weren't a drummer you would hire a session drummer to play for you without batting an eye. I bought EZ Drummer that day. :)

Even though I have some of the best software out there, I still struggle to make good songs. I have changed my perspective of what's cheating and what's not, and now look more at the end result.

That said, Vanilla Ice was cheating when he ripped from Queen. :)

Or piano/keys player (EZKeys), or banjo player (RealiTone Banjo), or every instrument in an orchestra (Action Strings, EMOTOVE), or a tasteful guitar player (BIAB Real tracks, or one of many strum engines out there), or or or
 
I just want to make music. Sometimes with collaborators and sometimes not.
 
Vanilla Ice may well have cheated but what about Milli Vanilli?

Now I'm talking myself into EMOTIVE.
