No wonder I couldn't get my own version to match up. Here's the same thing using first the violin patch and then the "tremolo strings" (string ensemble) patch of Musica Theory 2 in Fluidsynth: http://www.all-day-breakfast.com/rosegarden/tmp/violins.mp3 http://www.all-day-breakfast.com/rosegarden/tmp/strings.mp3 As you hear, they both have some attack but the second is far more pronounced.
