Re: On your CD tracks 9 thru 16 are of the 400 library. Track 12 is
self explanatory. Track 13, according to Sound Sales catalog, Violins,
Viola, Cello-full bodied rich string sound. The Chamberlin 3 violins,
Track 24 are close if not more robust than the strings on my 400.
After they stopped production of the 400 it seems they added a lot to
the sound library. When you ordered a 400 it came standard, at least
stateside, with A: 8 voice choir, B: 3 violins, C: Flute. My Streetly
built came with Viola in place of the choir which many did. Obviously
when they did the cd, someone thought it unnecessary to include.
Maybe it will be on the next cd whenever. Hope that helped,,,Doug
