Orchestral Tools - Duplex Saxophones intro

[PhonoBrainer]

4 saxes, no pre-made riffs, sounding good. Recorded fairly dry, for once (so they say) . . .

OT is spendy - $212 intro offer (179 Euro) which is 25% off. Until Aug 11th.

Any thoughts?

I listened to the demos, the legatos sounded good, better than most that's for sure. Some of it I didn't care for.

I would need to demo to actually know how it performs under real circumstances. Still it's pretty cool.

[PhonoBrainer]

Yes as of the moment there's just one promo video and the saxes are in an arrangement with trumpets.

I thought the bari sounded great, from what I could discern.

Turns out you can get each sax a la carte. Go to the "Instruments" tab. Price per is a bit higher, but honestly I'm only digging two of them, the Red Tenor and the Red Bari. So I think I won't fill up on bloat. YMMV.

Wish they could issue another $25 voucher like they did last year.

I'd probably go for the Red Tenor . The Barry might be cool though, would like to try that on some Tower Of Power!

yes that's my aim as well. I bought Red Tenor and Red Bari. Lots of articulations!!! Seems to be light on the velocity layers, but ConFunkShun didn't play soft that much.

The SINE player is a trip. Very functional but not immediately intuitive.

Nice,  I have SINE  for Metropolis Ark but use the  Kontakt version.

Let us know how you like your new saxes sometime if you get a chance!
