I found the same thing about adjusting playing for every instrument. When I use my saxophone technic on a flute or a trumpet virtual instruments, it sounds strange. What works best for me is to pick a favorite musician playing the real instrum…

Here is a recording using v8 Getz style preset:

Hi Michael, Interesting machine you are building. Before I bought my Lenovo laptop, I was considering buying a Mac Mini. I thought I would configure it via my iPad and do quick switching via midi, but then I realized I don’t want to depend o…

Hi Michael, You can also use Reaper DAW on OS X. Free to trial fully functional version and very cheap to buy. I use it on my Win 7 64 bit laptop for live gigs and it is very flexible with macros and extensions and rock solid stable and reliabl…

I just added in the folder another preset (v8) with nicer high octaves and a bit softer tone (inspired by Stan Getz).
-
Sure. Here is my latest SWAM preset for tenor sax 2.1.0: https://skydrive.live.com/redir?resid=E5CCC414E45E5DBF!47412&authkey=!AFsdbAJmdfUv_F8 When I use this preset, there are some external plugins used to limit CC17 (controls in this…

I use a wind controller and bend pitch with lips. There are a few places it was used here, but not much. I found that bending pitch more than +-2 quickly, can sometimes create a sound of artificial synth bend (like how samplers band notes in unre…

Interesting tone. I am not sure what plugins you used, but you might want to try PSP Warmer, since it can make magical things to sax and vocal sound.
-
This is great! Sound really authentic.
-
Nice groove and sound!
-
I like the trumpet on Greensleeves. Where is the backing track from?
-
I didn't mention in CafeSaxophone.com that this is a virtual sax, but also didn't hide it (the picture is of me playing WX5) and so far it looks like none of the many sax players there even suspected it is not real tenor sax. I even got compliments …

I replaced the link with new version using different reverb and some other minor fixes.
-
I think for most realistic result, they would need to actually sample the whispering for each key and find a way to mix it with the sound of the key, so you can transition smoothly from whispering to sound and vice versa. Especially when I play ball…

I love this idea, although it is hard on wind controller to play very low velocities. I also think that breath could be more dynamic based on expression. I lower breath noise quite a lot since it sounds more like noise to me than real breath noise. …

I posted a video and some audio from the gig in YouTube and SoundCloud channels: https://soundcloud.com/kobirivlin Kobi

Yes. I am visiting my family in Israel and this was in the Khan Theatre resturant in Jerusalem. This is a band my sister sings in. I will try to post some recording from this gig in next couple of days. Kobi

Here are some photos from a gig I did on Tuesday with the WX5. Once I have a chance,I will try to post some music sample as well. https://www.icloud.com/journal/#4;CAEQARoQWPcDxqcdadA5iCO33Qws6w;F164DA9A-55FE-4071-8D1F-2E62D6424FEB Kobi

I typically use forScore app to show sheet music and chord progression in set lists I create ahead of time using band in a box, irealB or Wikifonia website. During rehersals i add annotations with forScore on sheet music about intros, endings and in…
-
Here is one photo I got from the gig that shows me and part of the band. WX5 is not as photogenic as my alto sax, but still looks nice. Laptop was behind me and not visible (iPad is used just for sheet music). Kobi
-
I know some of my friends took some photos, but I didn't get any sent to me... I have another gig with a different group on Tuesday and will try to get some photos myself on this one. Thanks, Kobi

You will need to refer to the SWAM saxophones manual instead for instruction about mapping CC. If you map one keystation slider to expression and the other slider to growl or vibraro, you will probobly have nice control. The manual is here: …
-
Pages 8-9 of the keystation manual explain how to assign specific CC to expression sliders (manual is here http://www.m-audio.com/images/global/manuals/050505-KSSeries_UG_EN01.pdf). If you use regular keyboad preset of sax brothers and have CC enabl…

Make sure you are using WindController preset, since the keyboard one will not respond. Also some DAW (e.g. Reaper) require you to enable change control (CC) for the midi device input, without it you will get simple midi but not CC. Kobi
-
Thanks. I will check out the chapel preset, since I haven't played with that one. I like mixing only small amount of reverb to add some echo, without muffling the sound.
-
Internal SWAM reverb is not bad, but I needed anyway good quality and light reverb for other virtual instruments. I like the factory "basic hall" preset in Reverberate and just reduced in the mixing tab, the total mix of reverb to around -12. …
-
I added two new SWAM presets to the DropBox folder for both SWAM Tenor Sax and SWAM Soprano Clarinet. The new presets are called: Tenor-Sax-Kobi-v13-dry-SWAM-WX5.swam Soprano-Clarinet-Kobi-v14-dry-SWAM-WX5.swam These presets are dr…

I recommend before you spend lots of money to check the free Space360 plugin: http://www.kvraudio.com/product/space360-by-cytosonic I found it great to quickly put all instruments in one room, when you insert it on master track. It doesn't add …
-
I updated today this recording with a new mix, using my improved presets for clarinet and sax and a great free plugin called Space360, that creates nice natural sound stage. I also reduced compression, which sounded to me too high in original mix. L…
-
I had an idea of using some midi convertion plugin like insert piz midiconvertor3 and map CC17 (mod wheel down on my WX5) to two different CC and limit the range of the one for vibrato rate and then map the two output CCs in SWAM (this is actually b…
