Band-in-a-Box includes a small selection of MIDI SuperTrack Strings played by Miles Black. These patches are MIDI soundfonts that Band-in-a-Box can load without having the user having to install and load a soundfont synth player.

While there are multiple ways to change instruments the method I use much of the time is to:

Right click on the existing name of an instrument in the mixer.
Click on the "Select MIDI SuperTRack for this track [] ..."
Select a "Strings" instrument from the list.
