I mean, they could be a sample, but it sounds very 'factory preset' to me. It would probably be a whole lot more effort than its worth to lift that particular string sound out of a track that has no breakdowns. Also (since we all seem to agree that if it were sampled, he re-played some of the melodies), sampling those strings at any point in time in the Carino track you would be getting a sample of a full chord, and when that is transposed up and down the keyboard, you will get a different, detuned effect than if it were one note transposed up and down the keyboard. For instance, a C Minor chord would be C, E flat, G, B flat, and if you sample that, then play an E in the keyboard, you would get E, G flat, A, B flat, rather than 'E', and G flat and B flat are not in the C minor scale - thus the perceived detuning. Or something like that (distant memories of unused musical theory not enjoying this rare excercise)... ;) I'm sure you all know what a detuned sample sounds like transposed up and down a keyboard, and it wouldn't work like Jaguar sounds. Think: Pepe Braddock or Theo Parrish samples rather than Octave One string orchestrations. Pepe Braddock or Theo Parrish couldn't have taken the Deep Burnt/UGE 003 sample from Freddie Hubbard's 'Little Sunflower' and played bits of that up and down the keyboard without making it sounds really bent.
