CMI IIX "Old Strings" factory sound?

2010-03-14 by tomulcahy

This sound:

Appears in music by Jarre, AON, U2, Oldfield, The The and Kieth Emerson. But it does not appear on any of the IIx factory discs, as far as I can ascertain.

Does anyone know where this sound came from? The version I have there is from JJ's "Art of Sampling" disc, and it does not seem to be the original, because it has a bell sound in the attack.
