I am very much a novice when it comes to synths so i'm wondering if anyone can help. I would like a synth with authentic string sounds so i can layer different parts together but i don't know where to start. Can i do this without the use of a computer or do i need software and if so what do i need? I'm only really bothered about strings as i've written parts but haven't the gear to layer them up. I'm going in the studio in Jan with my band and would like to lay these parts down to some indie like stuff. Any help would be gratefully recieved. Thanks.
