I've never felt synthesizers were suited to 'realistic' orchestral patches. This type of 
emulation is best suited to ROMplers and Samplers - either hardware or software. You 
might want to check out SampleTank Free or Plugsound free if money is tight, otherwise a 
Roland JV/XV series box can be had for a song on eBay.

That said, check the Files section here at Yahoo! Groups and navigate to the Tips & Tricks 
directory where you will find a past 'how to' article "How To Program Synth Strings" which 
might point you in the right direction.
