Musikmesse 2005Yellow Tools releases Candy (Sax module)

After a development time of several years Yellow Tools has released their new saxophone sound module, Candy - the third member of their Modular Virtual Instruments (MVI) family.

With nearly 9GB of sound samples Candy is an extensive soprano, alto, tenor, baritone and bass saxophone collection. The instruments were recorded with detail and precision so, if all available playing techniques and their dynamic layers and variations are used, your performance will select from 30 different samples per note, or even more. In addition, the instruments were sampled playing their maximum dynamic range. The 4 different variations of the same tone of a note can be selected during the performance automatically.

In addition to the different instruments, you can also select up to 3 different mouthpieces (classic, jazz, metal) bringing the appropriate character to you music production. The instruments are available in the different playing techniques such as: falls long, falls short, long notes, sforzando long, sforzando short, short notes, vibrato notes, staccato notes and different FX. These techniques are also available in the different dynamic layers piano, mezzo forte, forte and fortissimo - with up to 4 variations of the same note per note.
