Description:
Saxophone is a performance musical instrument for your iPhone. It plays, sounds, and operates like a real sax. Realistic controls * Real fingerings * Real samples * Real chromatic control over more than two octaves * a flexible sound engine * a visual synthesizer * wireless MIDI control! * record your performances, and listen in the browser/email/embed them! Saxophone's controls are based upon the principles of a real sax. You can adjust this control to include breath, touch, and even tilt control. It's a great way to learn how a sax works, and it's expressive enough to be a real instrument for proficient musicians. The iPhone only allows 5 touches at a time -- but there's an easy rule of thumb: if you're using your right fingers, lift up your left; and vice versa. See the manual included for all the details! Saxophone includes a unique sound engine that uses sound samples of real instruments -- including a soprano, alto, tenor, and baritone saxophone. Saxophone also features the Visual Synth. Create your own sounds with our additive synthesizer, adding reverb, filters, and sculpting the overtones to explore the soundscape. Control your music studio with Saxophone -- full MIDI control is included via the musicofx midi tool [PC *and* Mac], free with Saxophone! Control GarageBand, Reason, or Logic wirelessly -- a new performance MIDI controller! Finally, you can record and share your Saxophone performances. Upload, download, vote -- you can even listen to them in your browser, embed them in your blog, or send them to Mom in an email. Check out Saxophone today -- and check out the rest of our awesome new musical instruments in the music of expression series! Find out more at our website, musicofx.com.


Reviews:
Impressed  By: Createanickname638492 - Oct 26, 2009 Version: 1.2 I was worried that I was wasting my dollar on this app based on the other reviews, but it is very functional. While it's not perfect I enjoy the challenge of reading through some of my music. After about ten minutes with it, the octave break gets much easier
It's cool  By: Dfend ur Castle - Oct 9, 2009 Version: 1.2 It's supposed to be a novelty app. It's not supposed to replace your sax. You'd be stupid If that's what you thought, but it's really just for us saxophone nerds. I have it because it's just another way of being a sax nerd.
good done  By: D.C.Yane - Aug 23, 2009 Version: 1.2 very nice! app

ummmm maybe you all are taking yourselves too seriously?  By: muszak007 - Apr 22, 2009 Version: 1.1 it's a fun app! I like playing it, pretending I actually know how to play the sax :) i bought this app after reading the reviews and i have to say, some people expect a lot from a 99 cent app... it's not actually a sax (just pointing that out). it IS, however, a fun new app! keep up the good work! i want to see more like it.
Perfect!!!  By: Pettra88 - Apr 2, 2009 Version: 1.1 I'm picking up my soprano sax again because of this app!
play the blues !!  By: georgia larrybear - Apr 1, 2009 Version: 1.1 I love jammin my blues licks on my new ipod sax! People are giving me weird looks as I play when I have my earbuds but hey, I'm having a good time. I love how you can play along to your ipods music... hope they put even more into the synth in the next ver!
Excellent, But ...  By: tkviper - Apr 1, 2009 Version: 1.1 I love your instruments. I have the trumpet as well. The only bad thing I can think of is that key A sounds a little bit off to me.. So can you make sure it's the right pitch? Because every time I play that note, it always throws the tune off a bit. Anyway... Great job guys. BTW, I left a lengthy review for the trumpet app as well but somehow it's not showing up.
sax  By: bella988 - Mar 31, 2009 Version: 1.1 looks cool, fun to play. getting the hang of playing through the octaves is a little tricky, sometimes i wish i had extra fingers. but at least i dont have to deal with reeds :)
Great  By: Aquacadet2 - May 2, 2009 Version: 1.1 The sax sound could be a little better
There should be an octive key
Should be able to play more than five notes to be more realistic.
Consider these great ideas!
iphone saxophone  By: la musician - Mar 31, 2009 Version: 1.1 It's pretty cool. This is the kind of instrument that the iPhone should feature. Half a star off for taking this long for developers to come up with it, half a star off because the iPhone is a little small for all those keys. Still, it's a pretty fun toy.
It's Cool... But...  By: JazzManBobR - May 9, 2009 Version: 1.1 Hey, I really do play Saxophone, other woodwinds and MIDI wind controllers (WX11 and EWI-USB). The reason mention the instruments I own and play, is to say that each and everyone needs to be practiced and played on its own merit. They are all different. That being said the only major flaw with this app is that you can only can put down no more than five fingers at time. A real bummer, and so different from all woodwinds that it really needs to be givin a name other than Saxophone. Other than that, it's fun to play with.

Pretty good  By: Skyfunnydude - Apr 12, 2009 Version: 1.1 Except I can't even play D because it only let's me do 5 buttons! Also side key b flat would be nice, but bis b flat is ok. Make it so we can do more keys and I'll raise it to five stars.
Ok  By: Appmeister - Apr 11, 2009 Version: 1.1 As a saxophone player myself I do not like this app but is the best I will get when I don't have my sax with me, and one other thing therebis only the main 6 keys no b flat or high D or anything
Terrible  By: Dggggcfjgdxz - 19-Jun-2009 Version: 1.2 This thing doesn't even sound like a saxophone. I would know because I play the saxophone!!!!!
Lame, very lame  By: Neonraisin - Apr 5, 2009 Version: 1.1 I think the good reviews are from the developer's friends because the sound samples in this app do not sound anything even remotely like a saxophone. Very disappointing and a waste of a dollar which in today's economy is nothing to sneeze at.
Please make it more realisitc  By: Rob McHoya - Apr 2, 2009 Version: 1.1 I like the app, in general. However, as a saxophone player, it's VERY difficult to remove my top fingers to play the lower keys. Please make it so that more than 5 keys can be held down at the same time -- like on a real saxophone.
sax  By: nobody owens - May 10, 2009 Version: 1.2 I play the real sax but I hate that you can't use more than 5 fingers because anything D or higher is hard to play
