崇高、進化、激烈
Saxophone Explorations 是 Kontakt Player 的獨特樣本庫。具有抽象和任意的薩克斯管紋理，結合由薩克斯演奏家和藝術家 Jay Reynolds 演奏的定制模塊化效果裝置，它是崇高的、不斷發展的和強烈的。
該音色庫旨在填補虛拟樂器市場的空白，具有非常引人注目且優美的黑暗聲音，非常适合捕捉現代電影聲音世界，Colin Stetson、Bobby Krlic 和 Mica Levi 等人可以在樂譜中聽到。我們的自定義用戶界面經過精心設計，既直觀又鼓舞人心，讓您可以使用濾波器、混響、失真等來扭曲和塑造聲音。
我們與薩克斯管演奏家 Jay Reynolds 一起度過了無數個小時，精心挑選了一些最有趣和最有創意的薩克斯技巧。從 Colin Stetson、Bobby Krlic 和 Mica Levi 等藝術家的聲音世界中汲取靈感，我們希望創建一種超越薩克斯庫預期的虛拟樂器，并無限制地探索新領域。 Jay 不僅是一位出色的薩克斯演奏家，還是一位巨大的合成器和模塊化愛好者。我們意識到，将他對薩克斯管的熱愛與模塊化效果相結合，可以創造出一種遠超薩克斯管所能實現的聲音和紋理的方式。我們錄制了整個薩克斯家族，從男中音、男高音、中音和女高音，目的是捕捉 Jay 的表演和表達的親密細節，同時專注于在模塊化效果的幫助下它可以演變和變形的方式。
該庫是在鎖定條件下錄制的，從 Jay 的工作室遠程錄制，其中包含精選的高端麥克風，後來由 Sonixinema 的内部工程師編輯和混音。 Jay 和我們的團隊之間進行了大量合作，以确保源材料盡可能具有創意和可玩性。對于庫中的許多音色，我們将所有四個薩克斯管放在鍵盤上，爲您提供盡可能寬的可演奏範圍。借助角色滑塊，您可以使用調制輪在幹信号和 Jay 的自定義效果信号之間平滑淡入淡出，其中包括以下内容；可變樂器 Rings、Makenoise Erbe-Verb、Makenoise Quad Peak Animation System、Makenoise ModDemix、4MS Tapographic Delay、Intellijel Quad VCA、可變樂器扭曲、可變樂器波紋、Befaco I4 樂器接口、Digitech Whammy Mk1。 Jay 的麥克風設置包括一個 Beyerdynamic M160 到一個用于近距離麥克風的 Cloudlifter，一個用于房間的 AKG C414ULS，結合一個 FMR Audio RNP 前置放大器和闆載我的 Audient ASP880 前置前置放大器。轉換器是 ASP880，I/O 是 Audient ID22。

Sublime, Evolving, Intense
Saxophone Explorations is a unique sample library for Kontakt Player. Featuring abstract and aleatoric saxophone textures combined with a custom modular effects rig performed by virtuoso saxophonist and artist, Jay Reynolds, It is sublime, evolving and intense.
Designed to fill a gap in the virtual instrument market, this library has a wonderfully compelling and beautifully dark sound which is perfect for capturing a modern cinematic sound world which can be heard in scores by the likes of Colin Stetson, Bobby Krlic and Mica Levi. Our custom user interface was carefully designed to be both intuitive and inspiring, allowing you to warp and shape your sound with filters, reverbs, distortion and much more.
We spent countless hours with saxophonist Jay Reynolds curating a selection of some of the most interesting and creative techniques possible with a saxophone. Taking inspiration from the sound worlds of artists such as Colin Stetson, Bobby Krlic and Mica Levi, we wanted to create a virtual instrument that surpassed what would be expected from a saxophone library and explore new territory with no limitations. Jay is not only a fantastic saxophone player, but also a huge synth and modular enthusiast. We realised that combining his love for saxophone and modular effects was a way to create sounds and textures far beyond what is possible with a Saxophone. We recorded the whole family of saxophones, from baritone, tenor, alto and soprano with the aim of capturing Jay’s performance and expression in intimate detail, whilst focusing on the way it could evolve and morph with the help of the modular effects.
The library was recorded under lockdown conditions, remotely from Jay’s studio with a selection of top end microphones which were later edited and mixed by Sonixinema’s in house engineer. There was a lot of collaboration between Jay and our team to make sure that the source material was as creative and playable as possible. For many of the patches featured in the library, we feature all four of the saxophones placed across the keyboard, to give you the widest playable range as possible. With the help of the character slider, you can use your mod wheel to smoothly fade between the dry signal and Jay’s custom effects signal, which included the following; Mutable instruments Rings, Makenoise Erbe-Verb, Makenoise Quad Peak Animation System, Makenoise ModDemix, 4MS Tapographic Delay, Intellijel Quad VCA, Mutable Instruments Warps, Mutable Instruments Ripples, Befaco I4 Instrument Interface, Digitech Whammy Mk1. Jay’s microphone set up consisted of a Beyerdynamic M160 into a Cloudlifter for close mic, and an AKG C414ULS for the room, combined with an FMR Audio RNP preamp and the onboard pres my Audient ASP880. The converters were the ASP880 and the I/O was and Audient ID22.
