Using combinations of breathy or chuffy attacks, pure flute tones, and filters, the wind presets do a pretty good job of getting the effect across, though. With plenty of ocarinas, pan flutes, and detuned reed instruments, the wind category as a whole offers a lot of useful sonic flavors. Though few in number, the real wind standouts are found in the whistle category. The bowed strings evoke some of the flavor of the Chinese upright fiddles they're named for, but stop short of delivering the full range of performance effects these instruments are known for. There are no other direct emulations of bowed instruments.
Plucked strings are another matter.
On a couple of these patches, adding modulation makes the attack scoop into the pitch. Among the sounds in this category, you'll find every kind of string tone, from warm gut-string to piercing steel. Bass sounds are largely represented by synth sounds and a fair acoustic bass. By far the best, and fortunately most plentiful, type of sound on Planet Earth are percussion sounds and drum kits. The percussion patches are simply outstanding, offering multiple hits on a single instrument mapped across a range of notes.
