I've quickly checked the model against Solina schematics, identified major lacking elements.
(answering also @farvardin on completeness of implementation)

In the original, the 4' and 8' sections are known as violin and viola respectively.

  1. missing: brass section (trumpet/horn)
    It's needed to identify what does the formant circuit folllowing the oscillator.
    It has a set of switches which seem to affect a characteristic of a filter.

  2. missing: bass section
    It's cello and contrabass, and it has a more complex circuitry, of which I'm not fully sure how it fits in the model.
    It's made from various parts: low-tone selection, clipper, trigger suppression, bass sustain, and low-pass filter

Note to self:

The service manual of ARP Omni has a description of circuits in plain english !
Including an explanation of bass parts.
