I have my own string patch on my CS. Basically I take both the sawtooth 
and pulse waves from each VCO, but use the LFO to slowly mod the pulse 
width. I then pass them through the LPF, which I close almost 
completely, and I do not modulate the filter with the EG (or the LFO).
I then set a slow attack, high D and S and slow release on the ADSR. 
Finally, I turn on the chorus (yes, I DO like the built-in chorus, 
guys!!). Use the brightness slider to taste.

Try it.....
