Did you do all the instrumentation with Synthmaster one? It is a good instrumental cover and the timbre and tone of the sax is good but the pitch up bends at the end of every phrase is ear fatiguing and a bit annoying. If you can do this with out the pitch upbends at the end of the phrases it will be a very nice instrumental indeed!! Which presets of Synthmaster one did you use

I used semitones/leaps with Legato and Glide to simulate pitch bends. If we listen closely to the original song, these bends do exist in the original song (I was wowed by Tones and I's performance). They are added to the cover song along with all the vocal gestures, variations and dynamics accurately and titled it as "advanced". You can take any part of this cover song and compare it with the original and they will match. I also covered some breath noises and vocal gestures that are not part of the melody. A simple version without these bends is in the works. But since it is a synth sax, maybe not sound as graceful as vocals - an MPE sax may sound a bit better.
There is a backing track. Sax is from bs-16i. I created a few SynthMaster One presets for bass, chorus voices and FX instruments (at 2:30).

Just wanted to check if the video is no longer available because of the new thread or if this is unintentional?
Take care

Yes, I made the above Advanced (Level 3) version private to bring it back remastered with 100% instrumentation and new video footage soon.
I’m finishing up various versions of “3 Levels of Dance Monkey - EASY”:
3 Levels Easy version has a hook at the beginning and 2 phrases chopped off at the end to reduce redundancy and keep it brief.
Both versions will have 100% instrumentation.
Cheers!
PS: You can watch the 3D version of Senorita on my channel here (showing more playing tracks) -
