Website: Big Growlin’ Sax
Format: KONTAKT (6.7.1+)
Quality: 24 bit 48 kHz stereo
Description: Saxophone with Character This saxophone soars, riffs and roars with 100% natural vibrato and tone. No artificial intelligence or simulation.
In legato mode, BGS will turn your midi into a time machine with blues autobends so hot you may have to use the [newly introduced] vanilla key switching feature to control it.
The style has its roots in 1950s blues and rock ‘n’ roll, but the sound is timeless across genres. It is present in the rousing ballads of the 70s and is especially prominent in the instrumental television themes of the 80s and 90s.
