I want to compose a song that involves violin strokes varying in duration, intensity and vibrato.

Okay thanks for the response. I guess I was asking for a bit much anyways.

Re: Possible to control bow instrument strokes?
JohnBee, there is only one violin I am aware of in software form that does what you want it to do - that is (or actually, was) the Garritan Stradivari Violin. I have it, along with the Garritan Gorfriller Cello, and they are both wonderful software stringed instruments (they will run standalone or within Native Instruments Kontakt 2.2.4).

Re: Possible to control bow instrument strokes?
what about Garritan Personal Orchestra (GPO)? There some decent violin samples with the stroke control, vibrato, trills, etc that may fit the bill. It’s also reasonably priced < $200. I own it buit I haven't mastered all of the techniques necessary to produce some realistic voicings. But if the demos are any indication of what can be done with the library then I think this could be a reasonble and very affordable solution. Give it a look.

Vibrato generated by the Motif XS comes from an LFO. Yes, of course that is not the same as vibrato generated by a real human being.
