Now here's a rare classic from my studio collection. The Moog Opus 3. Granted, it's only a sandwich synth, which to those that don't know is (in this case) a unit with 3 synths inside it. Each of these can be played individually, or in combination.
The best part is the string section, which is perfect for that Jean-Michel Jarre style synth string from Oxygene & Equinox. You can use the effect section to have the strings wash in and out like waves.
It also has a brass section, which is limited, but you CAN play with the sound to get a hint of that classic Moog sound. YAY.
There's also a VERY nice alterable organ section with a lovely lowrey style rotary effect.
These can all be combined and mixed with an onboard level mixer.
Best sound - full strings with that washing effect, 60% organ to give depth, and about 30% brass for a nice "wah" effect behind the sound. When you're playing this, keep switching the rotary effect on and off and flicking it between fast and slow. Probably as you're changing from verse to chorus.
