Found on an old cartridge, then tweaked by me. Maybe not the most convincing pianos…or strings, but it works for a vintage feel or mixed with other instruments.
Trying to emulate the string section of a Roland RS-09 string synth.
A monophonic bass with resonance—also works for lead. Use the wheel for vibrato.
Monophonic lead tone. Use the mod wheel to open the filter as needed.
Rhythmic beats from the LFO keep chords in motion for a nice, long time.

Synth bass with a sharp attack and quick decay. Add delay and a touch of distortion to bring it to life in your mix.
