Thanks for you answer. Couple questions came in mind. Do you happen to know
how many oscillators there were in ARP solina? So in a string patch, should
I use one or two oscillator (detuned?) in a one scene?

So, will it be then total 2 or 4 OSC and 3 of them detuned differently? How
it is with string machine were they static with their tuning or were there
same kind of tuning problems like in old analog synths, so could there be
use for some free EG detuning as well?

Too bad that I can not get my hands on AN1x until next Wednesday... my
fingers are itching for it now :-( ....

Cheers,
