That string patch sounds a bit like it might be their attempt at the legendary Yamaha GX-1
string sound (i.e. "Village Ghetto Land" by Stevie Wonder). Who knows, it might
even be a sample of it.
For live use, if I can find the money I'll buy one of those fanless nano-ATX or
micro-ATX mobo's, put it in a box with a couple knobs and buttons and maybe that 2x64
LCD I have sitting around in the garage, and set it up at boot time to run a couple
fluidsynth instances with the sounds I use most often on it, and there's my
"hardware" synth. Thus I won't have to bring my laptop to gigs and sweat
over where to place it, how to keep it safe from getting knocked over or drinks spilled on
it, how to get the hell off the stage faster to let the next band go on, etc.

That particular patch (that Ianas finds so rich) can be heard here:
http://www.m-audio.com/products/en_us/ProKeys88-main.html
demo patch number 12.
To me it sounds like strings samples with slow attack through
chorus+reverb and a bit of low pass filtering.
So I think that all the talk about swsynths vs. hwsynths is irrelevant
as this particular instrument seems to be sample-based. I guess it
could very easily be achieved with fluidsynth (loaded with a decent
soundfont) and optionally jack-rack with a couple of LADSPA plugins.
I really don't see what the fuss is all about.
