Catch the spirit of Saxophones. SaxLab is the result of many years of investigation and programming. It uses not one technology, but a very carefully balanced mixture of various techniques, to obtain the most realistic sax sound you can get from a virtual instrument. Authenticy, Expression and Variation is a must to obtain believable sax sounds. SaxLab does it all, and is the best money can buy. Except a real sax player.
SaxLab’s key features include an easy-to-use interface, a wide range of high-quality soundsets for bass, baritone, tenor, alto and soprano saxophone. An effects section that includes a specialized chorus and reverb, as well as extensive real-time modulation options.
Special attention has been paid to making the performance controls as rich and responsive as possible, so that the instrument can be realistically played.
