I always liked Enya's vocal layering. Enya's recordings are usually
thick with layers of sequencer, harmony and parallel octaves. I'm not
sure what kind of string samples she has used over the years. Enya
strings usually sound like FM synth strings. (Yamaha DX?)

Question:
Approximately how many of the instrument sounds on recent Enya
recordings are produced with a sequencer triggering samples?
