  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
