Another approach could be to use a saxophone app on your phone and have it triggered by the Extern engine (using a MIDI/sound card).
I do this on my ipad using the Korg Plugkey audio/MIDI interface and it really opens new fields for experimentation !

SWAM makes great saxophone app but has to be on a dedicated PC if I recall ?

Interesting - that solo has some distinctive 'growl' notes in it... It would be great to try and replicate that on aftertouch by adding a really fast vibrato of some sort. I probably won't get around to trying but let us know if you manage to find a way of making the growl!

I was fairly successful to recreate the growl effect using Morph Aftertouch by bumping from 4.3 to 10 the AMP Drive or using ghost notes because I keep the preset in polyphony.
see attached preset and let me know.

If anyone wants to see how I'm doing all the keyboard parts on Urgent, I posted a demonstration video and links to NS3 sounds here:

https://www.norduserforum.com/nord-stag ... ml#p172071

Instead of using a keyboard sax sound, I'm using hard sync synth sounds to cover the sax parts. I'll have to dig into some of the sax sounds in this thread!
