Description: Saxophones + harmoniums = SAXOMAPHONY
The Sound Dust Saxomaphonium is a hybrid Contact instrument made from layers of baritone and alto sax, as well as two ancient wind reed organs. He takes non-cooling elements, records them beautifully, and then reimagines them into something completely new.

Requires Kontakt Full 5.8.1 or higher

Additional Information :
With a deep but manageable Kontakt engine, the Saxomaphonium creates a new reed/metal/wood-based palette that can cover a surprisingly wide range of stunning possibilities.
