Alright so like I said I'm not with the virus but I did grab an audio file out of one of my tracks that I think shows my case in point well enough:

This may not be the best example...I'll throw something down later when I get a chance, but my concern is definitely present in this clip.
I think this was using a ramp LFO to modulate volume, so the plucks are only heard at the beginning of each chord... Its really hard for me to get any kind of pluck that isn't just kind of limp and frail like that
Someone show me the way.
