sax and brass samples and programs?

Post by kstenz »

When someone finds some really great tenor sax and or realistic brass samples or programs please pass on the info. I love the NS3 but so far is totally lacking in these categories. If I can get this resolved I can dump my other KB's for live gigging. :thanks:

Well, not sure you will ever be able to get this, Nord is "famous" for not being the best in the domain of multilayered samples that is required with Brass and Sax samples....That's why a lot of people are pairing their Nord with a second non Nord board....

So then my next question would be is there a mini synthetic out there with good horn and Sax samples without going into Daw type kb's?

The SAX on my Roland BK-7 backing module is quite good - a demo I found here - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZMINM46mb_w

The BK-7 pairs easily with NordStage

I Use Sax Brothers modeling in Mainstage3 played from the Extern section of my NS2EX (or my NS3 if I playing that board). Although the NS2EX is different from the NS3, Extern IS pretty much the same in the NS2EX and NS3. Mainstage3 becomes the common denominator.

I was testing some user nsmp's from the forum yesterday and found the Sax.nsmp linked here fantastic: http://www.norduserforum.com/post65755.html#p65755
I liked the preloaded sax samples before I tried this one, but this one stepped up my requirements significantly.

Edit: Actually the looping is so-so in this sample, but for playing short notes it's still fantastic.
Instant Pink Panther.

To this topic:

I'd like to play the Brass + Organ parts in Snarky Puppy's - Gone Under


As far as I understood is Clavia lacking good Brass samples, but do you have any ideas how I could fix at least the brass sound? Like layering maybe a brass sample and any kind of brassy synth? I would be really happy if you could help me a little bit with this process since I'm very new to the Nord family.
