The strings are quite harsh, but are of a small string section
(ensemble). They have recently added some backing strings, which are
more like synth strings and much more usable and easier on the ear,
but for some insane reason these are not velocity sensitive and
therefore rather useless (to me anyway).

A shame, because if they ironed out the horrendously loud clicks when
you change patches while sound is playing, fixed the hiss on the quiet
bits of samples, fixed the latency on the pipe organ with busy
passages, and changed the jack outputs and power connector for
something suitable for gigging they'd have a board that started to be
quite good, albeit with very weak piano sounds (but it is primarily an
organ so I guess that is forgivable)
