Mr. Sax T. employs an entirely new technology, developed by Stefano
Lucato when it became clear that all the previously applied approaches
simply could not do. The technical name is Synchronous Wave
Triggering. It uses samples as a base material, chromatically
performed by a professional sax player over a very wide dynamic range,
and recorded with state-of-the-art technology. The resulting timbre is
therefore that of the real instrument. But the analogy with a sample
based library ends here. The underlying, proprietary technology allows
continuous interpolation among different vectors like time, dynamics,
pitch and formants. Advanced real time processing techniques yield
realistic legato/portamento, vibrato, ornamentations & trills with
phase continuity, constant-formant pitchbends, subharmonics, growl and
flutter tongue to be performed in real time.



Like the Trumpet, Mr. Sax T is not a library, and no additional
sampler or player is needed. Mr. Sax T. is a Kontakt Player 2 Virtual
Instrument, working either standalone, or as a plugin (VST or RTAS for
the PC, and VSR, RTAS or AU for Mac). It employs (and requires)
state-of-the-art technology. The instrument has been developed and
thoroughly tested on a PC with IntelCore2 6600 & 2.40 Ghz, 2GB RAM,
Windows XP, 2 SATA drives, a 24 bit audio card with low latency (<7
msec) ASIO drivers, with a CPU load of approximately 5-7%. It also
works satisfactorily on less powerful systems. More detailed
information about tested systems can be found under benchmarks.



A master keyboard with some configurable MIDI controllers, pitchwheel,
modwheel, and an expression pedal (or breath controller) is required
for real time playing. Virtually any type of windcontroller can also
be used to play this instrument.



If real time playing is not contemplated (you will miss a great fun
though) :, using a sequencer may obviate the need for several physical
midi controllers, while maintaining full control of the instrument's
expressiveness. Mr. Sax T. has been thoroughly tested on most common
sequencers, like Cubase, Logic and Sonar.
