I need a raspy saxophone sound

Where can I download a nice throaty saxophone sound? There are plenty of brass, clarinet, and flute sounds, but no sax. Thx

I don’t think Arturia has one of those. Neither Augmented Brass nor Augmented Woodwinds has sax as part of the included samples. And it’s next to impossible to make a good realistic sax sound without using samples or physical modeling (which also isn’t part of Arturia’s lineup).

Hi Tomettel!
Thanks for your question.
Have you tried experimenting with the Emulator II V? There are some sax samples that might fit what you’re looking for.

I’m a newbie! Please advise:
Is it compatible with AstroLab? Some downloaded sounds don’t seem to work.
Can you hear samples before purchasing?
Where is it available for downloading?

Thx!

If you own AstroLab (and/or Analog Lab software), you should be able to access existing presets from the Emulator II V instrument. But I don’t think you can create your own new ones (or swap out samples or any other sort of in-depth preset editing) without also owning the Emulator II V software. You can download that and try it in Demo mode through Arturia Software Center, although it probably can’t save presets or export them to AstroLab.

Brother “LoFiLeiF” has elite skills in using guitar and blown MIDI controllers for brass and woodwind VST instruments. Check out his YouTube channel, join his Patreon, or better yet, just join and repost this same question on the MIDI Guitar & MIDI Bass user forum, where he is a moderator and ask him and the community about it.

Interesting interface. No sax presets in there, though.

hi all!
i also search for a Alto sax, if there is any, or a baratone!
just saying, i have and the V collection (8). There, is there any good? i haven’t manage to install a few of instruments this amazing collection has, and i didn’t search them all!
if a sax exists, i think this, could be transfered to the Astrolab, since V collection 8 is compatible!
