PS These days with Maestoso he has an M400 with remastered strings but
they don't sound as good.
NO!!! They are
not remastered at his very own request. The sound you love is the M300A violins through the spring line reverb of the M300 which Woolly used to great effect. You could back off the source signal and leave the reverb ringing. This is the sound of BJH. It grieves me to say it but the MTron can be made to sound very similar if you employ this same technique.
