What version of the Virtuoso Strings do you have?  Akai?  Have you
looked at
the programming of the patch?  Is it assigned to the correct sample only
playing back the wrong one?  I would suspect that it is a problem that
has
resulted from the conversion of Akai to exs-24.  I own the E-mu EOS
version
and there is a ton of programming that has gone into it.  I have not
noticed
this in my version as yet.  However, I am using it in an E-mu sampler
and
have not tried converting it into exs-24 format via any translation tool
(like CDXtract or Translator).  Do you have any controllers that you are
using while playing back the patch?  The E-mu EOS version will bring in
different samples (on purpose) when using different controllers.  For
example, on some presets, if you pitch-bend down, a trill will begin
playing, if you bring in modulation the filter will open up and the
sample
gets louder.

Have you tried the same program in an Akai sampler?  Do you get the same
reslts?  If so, you could try contacting Ilio for some help.  Good luck
with
your problem.  It would be a shame for you if you couldn't get the most
out
of this wonderful set.

Fernando
