About Sampling a Saxophone
These samples do not sound like saxophone samples you get on MIDI modules or saxophone synths. Every note is sampled. This sometimes leads to certain inconsistencies between notes, as some respond differently to other notes - even when the pitch is quite close. There is a big difference in sound between the two registers, so the notes either side of the break
will usually be quite different in character. On the tenor these are B2 - C3. saxophone players">Saxophone Players often use this to an advantage when playing, but you may find it a bit strange on a keyboard. Some notes speak
better than others, some have very different overtones. I used an AKG C12VR valve microphone set to cardioid/omni about 2 - 3 feet away from the horn, but still some notes that sounded the same volume in the room have quite different levels on the input meter. I have partially evened out some of the dynamics, but there are still a few quirks
- that’s the saxophone!
