You're mixing acoustic guitar/bass/simple tambourine drum beat and VST strings

  • reverb - a nice smooth short reverb

    change the velocity of some of the notes randomly, so it feels less mechanical.

    maybe quantise them slightly off by a fraction, to make them sound more human

    spread them around in the mix, left to right, and not have them too loud
