I don't believe you can select an individual voice. There are two instruments per track, so Track A would be a blend of A1 and A2, between Tracks A and B would be a blend of A2 and B1, etc..

Regarding the Angry Strings, I really like the sound of the sample on the Streetly library website. It sounds Mellotronic to me. Keep in mind that there is cello on the lower half-octave or so. Another possible string sound is the Sad Strings, or even the standard MkII Violins.
