Hi - another fairly new member here with first post.

+1 on Koto-Dreams, if that's the one you mean, and I also love the 'Double-Reed' oboe.

I've spent some time going through the wealth of sounds available, and 'Violin Solo' from the 44_PRG bank in the 'The Lot' set from this group has to be one of the most expressive solo patches I've ever played on any synth. It's amazing what you can get out of this one with just velocity and poly aftertouch - and mostly all done with simple sawtooths as a base! Try it!
