Hi, >>String Ensemble 1 (49): pretty much the same as you. I'm guessing >>this is what you're using. > > Yes, that's what I'm talking about! I looked at this patch in Swami. It has lots of layers (8). Unfortunately I can't listen to it right now so I can't do anything really constructive... Judgeing from the sound sample you sent I'd venture a guess that one or two of the layers are audible, the rest are for some reason not played. The tuning differance is probably due to this also, the layer is supposed to be played with the others, to make it thicker. /Robert
