I agree with Cerio ! Midi sax sounds like someone is killing a duck ,but didn't want it to scream without a melody line ! Real Sax sounds incredible compared to midi !

Give a listen to the latest Tyros'(4) Super Articulated voices on YouTube. In the right hands, the Saxes sound like the real deal and they are midi. It is a VERY $$$ keyboard, but the midi patches sound fantastic. Their guitar parts are also life-like.

Unless people are blowing sunshine up my butt, there have been a number of comments about my "sax playing" on my songs. I haven't played sax in 33 years! The sax patches that I have used in recordings are all physical modelling synth patches produced by a Yamaha VL70m with Patchman's Turbo chip & played on the Synthophone. The Sample Modeling softsynths are quite nice too. Still...they lack some of the nuances that I used to have in my playing. (We call it "home-instrument bias") However, I believe over time, more & more will be added & many limitations will be overcome.
