As you can see we programmed few great instruments, every one with a little spice inside.

Solina-like sound with an added cello timbre on low octaves.
Beauty Strings.nki
Rich and bright strings ensemble programmed in a modular synthesizer.

Strings ensemble programmed using frequency divider technique.

Frequency Modulation can be also used to create some rich strings, by summing different self-modulating
operators.
Jupiter Strings.nki
Emulation of a great detuned Jupiter-style synth strings.
MS-20 Strings.nki
Another classic sound programmed on a vintage Korg MS-20. This one is a bit dark and warm.

Even a single oscillator could bring a rich sound. Pulse Width Modulation has been used a lot, in the past, to
program these kind of timbres and here's why.
