MOJO 2 - Baritone Saxophone

MOJO 2 Baritone Saxophone is a deeply sampled and highly expressive virtual instrument that brings the distinct, rich, and versatile sound of the baritone saxophone to your studio. As a standalone instrument taken from the larger, acclaimed MOJO 2: Horn Section library, this product is meticulously crafted to be the definitive tool for jazz, rock, pop, and funk productions. Every detail of the instrument has been captured with an extensive array of articulations and advanced features, ensuring a level of realism and playability that is unmatched.

The library was created to provide composers and producers with an authentic-sounding solo saxophone that doesn't just play notes but performs with human-like nuance. It features a stunningly detailed "True Legato" mode, where the transitions between notes were painstakingly recorded to create fluid, natural-sounding horn lines. Beyond its realism, MOJO 2 Baritone Saxophone offers incredible creative flexibility. The unique "Era" presets allow you to instantly transform the sound, transporting your performance through different sonic periods—from the warm, vintage tone of the 1920s and '30s to a crisp, modern sound.

A key highlight of MOJO 2 Baritone Saxophone is its powerful engine, which allows you to move beyond a solo performance. With a simple knob, you can instantly expand your sound from a single player to a full ensemble of up to 10 players, complete with an "Auto Divisi" mode that intelligently distributes notes for realistic ensemble voicings. The instrument's flexible mixer provides access to three individual microphone positions—close, near, and room—giving you complete control over the spatial placement and sonic character of the saxophone in your mix. Combined with a comprehensive suite of onboard effects and NKS integration, MOJO 2 Baritone Saxophone is a must-have for anyone seeking to add the iconic sound of this instrument to their tracks.
