I think that Giebler selss something that will do this if you run  
Windows. Personally, I'm finding that storing pretty much everything  
on the computer (except for the sequencer OS, which you can't send  
via MIDI) and sysexing it over works best.

The SD-1 ROM VIOLIN and CELLO are pretty decent; they'll never fool  
anyone into believing they're real strings, but they're quite  
expressive.

Keep pushing the SOUNDS button until you see the second bank of  
internal sounds, then work your way through the soft buttins under  
the display. They're in the middle somewhere - my fingers know, but I  
don't. :)
