This sax will sell for sure

Dear Samplemodeling team!

I just watched the video for your new Mr. Sax T instrument five times in a row and im totally floored!

This is absolutely incredible!

You really had the balls to go for the holy grail of sampling and you succeeded!

BRAVO BRAVISSIMO!!!!



mille grazie

Hans

    Hello,

    Cheer and still Cheer, you did it!

    Now that you hold the magic, make us a section of sax.

    I impatiently await the exit of software package.

    Thank you.

    Keyman.

    I've been regretting the sale of my Yamaha VL-1 until the moment I watched this video. Amazing! Put me on the list. :D

    You won't need a sax section, but maybe alto and bari sax solo instruments. Sampled sections always sound bad.



    But anyway, just the tenor for now is awesome!

    Hello,

    I rectify immediately,

    I wanted to say by section all the panoply of saxs:

    soprano, alto, tenor, bariton.

    It is without any doubt the emotion after having visualized it video

    Hello from France,



    I often connect to your website since the begining and i have decided to register today to tell you thanks a lot for this wonderful sax and to ask you some questions about it.



    I am already a happy owner of Stradivari Violin and the Gofriller Cello.



    I plan to buy the Trumpet since long time but unfortunatly i had some other priorities for the moment.

    But i swear to buy it AND your sax too soon.



    I would like to know (even if i think the answer is yes) if it's possible to change (with CC) the volume of the key sound. It looks like (don't take it bad i really love all your products) that you have succumb to the fashion of adding details to make the instrument more realistic (like yamaha with its super articulation sax on the tyros 2) but details (like key sound) that most of the sound engineer will try to hide.



    I would like to know if for one kind of sax (i mean tenor, alto, ...) you will propose differents instruments i mean different kind of mouth pieces (metal, ebonite) to adapt the sound to the musical context (pop, jazz, bossa).

    May be this can be done with the same samples but with differents settings like filter (i don't know)

    I dream (everybody dream) to swap from stan getz sound to Michael Brecker sound just by pressing a button



    Will it be possible to have growling sound (with the independant control of the vibrato) with the possibility to pass from normal sound to growling sound in a smooth way (phase alignement ?) like from non vibrato to vibrato ?

    I know it will need a transplant of a third arm or leg to control all of this parameters in real time.



    Will you propose some bundles (trumpet + tenor sax, ...) ?



    I know i ask a lot but i know also that "impossible" is not a word that belong to your dictionnary :)



    Thanks again

    Just the one sax then?

    I thought this would happen in an eralier thread.

    So how much will Tenor Alto Soprano and Baritone cost all together?

    If the price is the same as the trumpet about £500, or will there be a bundle/discount deal?



    Any effects planned for your instruments like key clicks/breath sounds etc...could do with them!



    P.S Are the different instruments in "The Trumpet" eg flugel horn actually samples of a flugel horn or modified samples of athe trumpet for a "Fake" version?

    I ask because I get lots of phasing when playing them together.What I do for a solution is to shift the formants of the individual "mixdowns" in Nuendo to get rid of the phasing.A pain to do but it works.This is also good for turning a trumpet into a Trombone by shifting down(mpex 2)/



    Seeeeesya!

    no doubt this sax will sell. For me it is just perfect. Since long time I wanted to recreate some Tuxedomoon songs, and with The Trumpet this became much more realistic. I just needed a sax, and now there it is.

    Sure I'm interested in further instruments like flute and oboe, but with trumpet and sax I'm very much delighted.



    Well done, guys!

    Yeah, here is another absolutely incredible instrument!



    Congratulations to the samplemodeling team! imageclap2.gifimageclap2.gifimageclap2.gif

  • Hi valouz,



    yes, the key noise of the saxophone can be controlled on the GUI and via CC9.



    To implement different mouthpieces would be nice - however, we have plenty of work of higher priority - like developing new instruments... :-)

    And to get the Getz´or Brecker´s sound, well... You would have to mimick their articulations in every detail. But please note: if Stan or Michael would have changed their mouthpieces or even played on poor ones, they still would have sounded like Getz or Brecker! :-)



    Smooth transitions from vibrato to non-vibrato, as well as from "clean" sound to a growl is, of course, possible (via the appropriate MIDI controllers)



    Bundles: yes, they are planned.



    Best

  • Slapper,



    we will offer our first woodwind - the tenor sax - to all the interested people as soon as it´s ready. If you want to by a full set of saxophones, you have to wait, sorry.

    The bundle prices will certainly be applied - also for the users, which have already purchased some instruments.



    The samples used in The Trumpet can be compared to the sound recorded inside the mouthpiece. It´s a kind of source sound. Flugelhorn and the other instruments have been of course recorded as well, to obtain their precise "fingerprints" - the important part of our technology. Applying this fingerprints to the source sound yields exactly the sound of the particular instrument.

    The phasing-like side effects are due to a completely different problem: you must differentiate the instruments and their articualation as much as possible.

    Please do the following, "shocking" experiment:

    take a perfectly tuned, dry NONvibrato trumpet sound of ANY library; then take the same tone (dry, nonvibrato) even of a trombone of any other (or the same) library; transpose the trombone so that the result has exactly the same frequency. Now - play both samples together... You will hear a phasing-like side effect! It´s simply because both samples have a nearly identical frequency and rich spectra, which leads to some short term frequency cancellations. Believe me - you get the same effect in the studio if you record two well tuned trumpet players playing the same note non vibrato!

    Please try to play different tracks as two different musicians would do: "lively", with different pitch bendings, different vibrato, dynamics and timing, applying some ambience. The result will be very satisfying! :-)



    Best

    yes, when I record three Trumpets manually (Akai EWI4000s), phasing never occurs. Well maybe for a split second, not audible.
