Available for Windows and Mac (32 and 64 bits)ĭownload DSK Sax MAC AU 3.) IOWA Alto Sax.I personally love setting a longer release, that way, it takes some time for the sax sound to fade away, of course, play with the settings yourself.Īdditionally, it features a velocity curve selector and an inbuilt reverb fx for simulating the ambiance in a recording room. The Attack controls the time it takes for your sound to go from silent to the loudest levels, Decay time control how long or the time it takes to go from the loudest level to the sustain level, Sustain is the level that the sax maintains when you hold a note, and Release control how long it takes the Sax sound to return the silence after a key is released.

Download DVS Saxophone 2.) DSK Saxophone One feature I can't do without is the auto-vibrato, it's absolutely amazing, give it a try. The author of this plugin pays careful attention to the way the velocity and the pitch bend effect complement the current key you are holding onto or playing.Īdditionally, the DVS saxophone provides built-in reverb effects, an option to change the size of the sax, and lastly the level knob. I like how clutter-free it looks when the buttons are gone.DVS sax was the first free virtual saxophone I ever tried and my first impression was the way you could fiddle intuitively with the parameters and create unimaginable saxophone sounds. I might include this as a "compact" layout.įor a while I had horizontal lines, but since the button is slightly wider than it is tall, I found that vertical stripes was best.Įdit: Being able to quickly experiment is nice. Saves some pixels for the name label too. I didn't originally intend for everything to be so close together, but I kind of like it. I'll experiment more - thanks for the suggestion. Tested your FX suggestion before, and it didn't look right to me - even though I agree it makes sense. If you don't mind me saying this, it seems there's a bit too much space on the right of "X" from "FX".Īnd if on the Route button the Send and the Receive lines were not vertical but horisontal (let's say, with the Send line on the top),

How's this as an idea: the font color changes from dark grey to light grey and the (background) button color gets darker?
