Balkan alto saxophone ( in hot sauce) BALKAN SAX is a new playable alto saxophone that reflects the style and nuances of Balkan music and beyond, ideal for many musical genres, from jazz, pop, traditional music to Bregovic-style scores and world music.
Superbly performed by virtuoso saxophonist Achille Succi, it contains 18 exciting articulations, including long notes with strong vibrato, powerful normal double and triple staccatos, short up and down glissandos (ladles), as well as many stylistic embellishments and tempo-synchronized notes. Give your melody a vibrant life!
A must-have for composers and producers looking for high realism and instant gratification! Balkan Sax comes with an intuitive, easy-to-use and ready-to-use interface with two top-notch reverb algorithms, delay and hard pedal distortion.
