Hi,

I posted this a while ago, and to be honest, I kind of answered my own question. The effect is done by sampling a chord and playing it back on the keyboard and using portamento to bend the 'note'. As for the sources of the sounds, I reckon a lot of them were just standard string presets on common romplers of the day, prob Major/minor 7 chords etc. The Darius Syrossian example I gave sounds very much like an old jungle track called 'The Burial' by Leviticus. I'm not saying he definitely sampled it but it's close to my ears. Have a listen on Youtube and see for yourself.

Hope this helps

OK; I will give it a try! That's a point I am working on for 2 years now... I am really "easy" with any other element of the detroit techno but I can't make great strings/pads ... Dunno if it's a notes or a sound problem...
