Basically, to put > it very bluntly, I'm a much better keyboardist than guitarist =p. Years ago I was able to do what I considered to be passable downstrums after practicing a lot, but even then, I'd only want to use those as accents in a song otherwise carried by keyboard sounds, not as actual rhythm guitar parts -- if it's possible to simulate alternating downstrums and upstrums fast enough to do that, it would have to be done by someone who's a much better player than I am. I think the key is to make sure you keep in mind what is and isn't possible on a guitar. The subset of that that's also possible on a keyboard is what you have to work with. I ended up buying a basic acoustic/electric for a hundred bucks, and as poor as I am at guitar, I still do better with it. (Getting a good recording of it is what makes me still not do it very often.) I vaguely remember that there was some Windows software that would "strumify" MIDI chords for you back in the 90s in non-realtime, and the demos sounded pretty passable, but I never tried that.
