As a sax player, I would never-ever use a sampler or sample based synth for solo work. It just can't create those nuances that define the saxophone itself.



You're right ? But all depends on the base of compare. Good, better,even better and so on

IMHO without those nuances, even the best sax tone will not sound like a saxophone. An instrument is defined not only by it's tone but by the nuances it is capable of creating.

Try playing a guitar patch with clarinet-ish glissandos, it won't sound like a guitar.

Try playing a piano with a low to correct pitch scoop like is typical of a saxophone and it won't sound like a piano.

Try playing a flute with a violin like portamento and it won't sound like a flute.

Playing a sax with keyboard technique will not sound like a sax. And when using a keyboard and sampler or sample based synthesizer, IMHO there is nothing you can do to make it sound like a sax.

On the other hand, IMHO with Physical Modeling and a halfway decent sax tone you can make a very convincing sax.

That's my story, and I'm sticking to it
