Hi all,
Do you know if there’s a String Library out there —besides Ircam Solo Instruments— that makes it possible to play the Violin, Viola, Cello and Double-Bass (whether solo or by orchestral section) string by string?
Violin: G string, D string, A string, E string
Viola: C string, G string, D string, A string
Cello: C string, G string, D string, A steing
DoubleBass: (C string), E string, A string, D string, G string ?
Thanks a lot!
Strings yes, but string by string?

Vienna Dimension Strings by VSL I know does.
Creating your personal string sound
We’ve even recorded each string of each instrument in its full range (approximately one octave plus a fifth), and with the included presets you may easily decide whether to have the musicians play on all strings (with a change to the next string in fifth intervals), or forced playing on a certain string. You can also choose to play with no open strings. Getting a darker or brighter string sound has never been easier and more flexible. What’s more, the technique of individual microphone placement is perfectly suited for divisi writing! For the violins, preset setups for two groups of four players and four desks of two players are provided.

I haven't used it but I am almost positive that the EastWest string libraries allow for playing specific strings.
