Thanks, Scott, I have a A3000 sampler, but never found that looping strings gave me the nice delicate, quick sounds that a good synth gives - it always sounded too much like i had looped a sample.
But I think i have it..... Funny you should mention that SOS, cos I just had a look at the SOS article on Timeless and Rob Playford said they used a Emu Vintage Keys (on several MIDI channels for control) for the strings on Inner City Life. Funnily enough Adam F, 4 Hero, Bukem and Omni Trio used it too according to the kit lists from Graeme, so I'm guessing its a fine machine for gorgeous pads and searing strings as almost all the stuff that they made 5 yrs ago revolved round those kind of quality sounds. Could be worth a look...

The Proteus 2000 is also good for that sort of thing. The good thing about the Rolands and EMU's is the extra plugin boards, apparently the Roland Orchestral board is amazing. Do you have a sampler ? Why not buy a sample CD with strings on ? The Proteus and JV's are just boxes with samples in with good synth features. A top end EMU, Akai or Yamaha sampler will give you excellent synth features .... I have a JV1080 which is great for calling up piano and string patches, also good for making strange spacey pads .... but at the end of the day I hardly use it and a my sampler could do the same job pretty much. If you look on the sound on sound website and do a search for Rob Playford, there's an article on how he did timeless.

Anyone rate them? Digital Village have them for �350 and they used to be �1200, so its either a sale bargain or they are shite - mind you Sound on Sound reckoned they were pretty versatile with 16 part arps, modulation and Z Plane filters, but i wondered if they were any good for nice synth strings/sounds and pads or subtle rolling basslines with the arpeggiators? I think it might but don't want to waste my money. If not what is everyones favourite synth for nice sounds (ie not nasty bass, which we know is for the Virus, Novations etc) - Roland XP30s or Wavestations?- i need fat Good Looking pads and Timeless strings.... Any help appreciated....
