There are few instruments as expressive as the tenor saxophone and, in Saxophone 2, we have captured that magic so that you can add it to your own musical productions. As with other titles in our Instrument series for Elastik, Saxophone 2 provides you with a huge collection of inspiring melodic phrases allowing you to create authentic lead and melody lines with a real sense of performance.
The Saxophones use samples as a base material, chromatically performed by a professional player over a very wide dynamic range, and recorded with state-of-the-art technology. The resulting timbre is therefore that of the real instrument. But the analogy with a sample based library ends here. The underlying, proprietary technology allows continuous interpolation among different vectors like time, dynamics, pitch and formants. Advanced real time processing techniques yield realistic legato/portamento, vibrato, overblow, ornamentations & trills with phase continuity, constant-formant pitchbends, subharmonics, growl and flutter tongue to be performed in real time.
Everybody who thought the classic „buab“ by Tower of Power´s baritonesax sounds deep should listen now to these loops. That´s really new: so soulful and melodic, almost a half octave lower are these new Bass Sax loops, played in a contemporary groovestyle. Played by Multisaxman David Milzow on an extraordinary HighClass- Instrument of the Keilwerth company, these samples show the really new possibilities of this “beast”, think of “Barry White goes Sax”. The saxophone for this production was recorded with premium-class microphones and high-end analog/digital converters. All Licks in this library are available as dry versions, without any additional e.q.- , compressor- or reverb effects. Attention: All backing tracks used in the demo are not included in the library and only function as examples.
The classical Swing big-band ensemble includes 5 saxophones: 2 Alto, 2 Tenor and 1 Baritone saxophone. The transposing Tenor saxophone in Bb covers the middle range. Its sound can be very raw and “dirty”. Stan Getz is one of a large number of well-known players of this instrument.
