Dear Rykhaard, and DIy list.
as mentioned before if you are copying most of the production string 
machines they use top octave generators and BBD delay ic chips to 
produce the chorus effect.
it would be possible to use separate oscilators,to rep[ace the tog ic , 
but I don't think it is easy to reproduce the chorus effect without the 
BBD delay ic's.
[ if it is please let me know ! ]
But I would be interested to know what the Original String machines 
built by Ken Freeman [ is that the correct person ? ] used.
of course if you have the space you could probably find a late 1970's 
organ that has a string synth built in at a good price.
regards Peter
