My understanding is that he used a lot of oscillators with PWM, and fed that
through some Roland delay units for that super-space string sound. I don't
know much about the Moog String Filter.
I haven't played his "Sound Creature" album in about 20 years... I'm pretty
sure he 'explains' on that album how he gets his classic string sound.
If we're talking about the same sound, it's definitely not Mellotron. In
fact, the only easily-identifiable Mellotron sound I can think of on Tomita
albums is the occasional male chorus.
If it is a bunch of narrow-bandpass filters with separate outs, mightn't we
make one from a battery of MOTM Triple-Resonant Filters...?

Speaking of strings, does anyone know if the killer strings
Tomita
synthesized on 'Snowflakes Are Dancing' was due primarily to
the Moog String
Filter, or were other factors at play
