Re: SAX synth sound on Nord Stage
As a sax player I think you cant do this at all (sorry), but every note on a sax is unique in terms of embrochure, attack, vibrato and a host of other things

Re: SAX synth sound on Nord Stage
I agree that a synth can never sound like a saxophone, but here is a sound I made that somehow reminds me of a saxophone.

Re: SAX synth sound on Nord Stage
I thought I'd add something to this old thread as I feel the original reply by ZeroZero is a bit discouraging.
It is pretty much impossible to get anything remotely like a sax using a conventional synth like the one on the Stage, that is true. However, lots of people get perfectly good sax sounds by using samples, so all you lucky Stage 2 owners should be able to do this fairly easily. There are a few very clever synths, such as the MOSS board for the Korg Triton series, that can do pretty good sax sounds as well. So don't give up!

Re: SAX synth sound on Nord Stage
This is my emulation of a sax... of course, as it was said before, it can never be so "realistic".

Re: SAX synth sound on Nord Stage
Hi Freejazz,
I think your SynthSax is really quite good and a great solution for Stage Classic / Stage EX owners. The small percentage of downloads compared to number of listens is probably just a sign that many/most folks here have a sampled solution for sax, but considering it comes from a relatively simple synth architecture, your program sounds great!
Bless,
Pablo

Re: SAX synth sound on Nord Stage
Hi Pablo, you're absolutely right! I find acoustic emulation very interesting but I obviously can't compare the results to physical modeling synthesis or sampling.
Mine was just a "challenge" against my programming skills and, in the end, I enjoyed it.
Anyway, it's a pity the lack of a breath control port, it would be a nice feature to control the synth parameter of the NS.

Re: SAX synth sound on Nord Stage
A breath controller with a midi interface can connect to the Nord's midi input port....

And probably to the Control Pedal port too.
I have an old DX7 breath controller somewhere, I wonder if it is possible to make it work in the NS2 with some modification.

Re: SAX synth sound on Nord Stage
Well, I found this:
http://www.retrosynth.com/~analoguedieh ... roller.jpg
One problem is that the breath controller is fed with 9V and outputs about 5V. I think the expression control connector provides 3V.
If I feed the breath controller with two 1.5V batteries instead of -9V, it still works and outputs about 3V, but not sure how well it works (my digital tester is slow updating the voltages). However I am not sure if the expression pedal expects a voltage between 0 and 3V or what. I am hesitating to try this and damage something. If anybody has a better idea of what goes on at the expression pedal port, please let me know.
