    Re: Legato strings: If you got the kronos quartet to play on what you have there, it would still sound terrible...

    The sounds are more products of the processing you've subjected them too than they are original or interesting... it reeks of indecision.
    The only thing of any note is the CR-78 (it's a very nostalgic sound)

    If you want to sort the mix, remove any dynamics processing and reverb from the drums/ add a keyed compressor to the long noise... replace the occasional 16th beat rhythm with something either more recognizable or melodic, remove the bit-shifter from the melodic drone... get a better reverb (i can hear the ~allpass - or you've time-stretched it but tried to cover it up?) or use a feedbacking tape delay or resonator to create a more interesting drone.

    Then think about adding things...
