Ok. http://www.dtek.chalmers.se/~d3berg/sounds/stringme.mp3 is my
first attempt at creating strings with the md. Some ploingy sound at
the start of the string sound, but you won't hear that in a full mix.

EFM-HH as a violin type sound
Pitch: 70
Decay: 96
Trem: 101
Tfrq: 64
Mod: 96
Mfrg: 96
Mdec: 127
Fb: 19 (very important parameter, vary this to get more life from the sound)

Cut the bass with the filter (Fltf: 64) and the highest treble as well
(Fltw: 71).

Dist: 64
Rev: 127 (with suitable reverb settings)

LFO-page:
Param: Fltw
Shp2: Inverted ramp
Updte: Trig
Speed: 34
Depth: 54
Shmix: 127

Parameters not mentioned should be at their original settings for the
EFM-HH machine. 

I hope this can be helpful when it comes to creating you own string sounds.
