This effect is called "tremolo". It's hard to make it sound realistic on strings (in real life it is achieved with fast bowing), but you can do it. Go to the patch editor, pro edit mode, LFO1 or LFO2 page. Make sure that all active tones are selected. Set the waveform to trapezoid (TRP as I remember), rate to 60-80 and TVA depth to +40 or more.

oh okay thanks a lot! those strings are from a vst patch in FL studio, and they are called "strings tremolo" but when i had tried the tremolo effect in the mfx it didn't sound like that at all

i'll definitely try this out, thanks for the help

That's because FL's strings are with a real tremolo effect, they were sampled with it - and what you will be doing is just level modulation so it will not sound the same anyway.

I have the SRX04 card and there are several tremelo string patches to choose from. I realize you want to tweak existing patches and probably don't want to buy the card, but I figured I'd tell you that the patches are there and sound exactly like your demo, if not better.

+1 Patric..

SRX-04 has even better ones and different styles then that one but that one sounds close to one of them...
