This SAXBAND Full Bundle Kontakt Library will allow you to realistically imitate virtually any tune that a real saxophones could play (Alto Sax, Tenor Sax, Baritone Sax and Soprano sax). It was recorded using MID-SIDE technology with multiple articulations and production techniques that create the impression of a live performance. We recorded all intervals for up and down articulations in three variants: normal Legato, Portamento and Glissando. We have provided the ability to vary the dynamics of the instrument to convey a wide, detailed range of expression from pp to ff. Natural and LFO vibrato may be added to the sound at any time. Sustain, Staccato and Marcato articulations provide added realism by means of a round-robin algorithm.

If you are looking for a full-range saxophone library that is both full-featured and amazingly easy to use, I would encourage you to direct your attention to this bundle. I obtained them individually, as they were released, and am delighted with their not-too-raw, not-too-processed samples. Out-of-the-box easy to use and sound great without any additional FX. If you are on a budget and can afford only one, they are also available singly. (Of course, the full bundle provides a price-break) Go to the website and check the audio clips for a sample of the realistic (as opposed to some other available libraries) sound of the instruments. I think if they were featured in some jazz or rock compositions, they would be even more impressive.
