Description

Introducing Embertone's first Virtual Instrument for your iPhone/iPad: a deeply sampled iOS instrument with true legato, and the only virtual instrument with Sexiness Control. If you're looking for that George Michael/"Careless Whispers" sound... look no further!

This is your digital solution to sax saturation. Bring your sax levels to 11... Try Sensual Sax today!

FEATURES:
- MIDI input / output
- IAA
- Audio Unit 3
- Audiobus
- True legato sampling for realistic note transitions
- Three sets of articulations

Controls include REVERB (with controllable AMOUNT and ROOM SIZE settings); VIBRATO (with dedicated DEPTH slider); DELAY (with control over AMOUNT and TIME); and switchable LEGATO, SUSTAIN, and STACCATO playing styles using the onscreen lockable keyboard (switchable to DOUBLE KEYBOARD for further flexibility). It goes without saying that it is compatible with all major iOS-based DAWs (Digital Audio Workstations), working with Apple’s Audio Unit Extensions technology — that brings the Audio Units system-level full plug-in architecture model (that was previously only available to third-party developers like Embertone in OS X) to iOS — as well as Inter-App Audio and Audiobus for full communication with the outside musical world.

==========
Founded by composer/orchestrator Alex Davis and composer/sound designer Jonathan Churchill, Embertone has been producing next-level virtual instruments since 2012. Its mission is simple: sample lots of great instruments, and bring them to market to inspire awesome new music! The co-founders seriously love what they do, admiring the likes of Tonehammer, Sample Modeling, and Sonic Couture — companies that have led the way to this new age of deeply-sampled virtual instruments, and aim to move that tradition forward by finding new ways to capture the essence of an instrument and program it in an intuitive and responsive package... and, of course, offer it to the composing community at an atttractive price! As the go-to company for musicians looking for realistic and fun virtual instruments since releasing the free Intimate Strings LITE for Native Instruments’ industry-standard KONTAKT (4.2.4+), the full-blown Friedlander Violin subsequently became the flagship solo product for the KONTAKT PLAYER platform while setting the production standard for future realistic-sounding releases.

What a shame

An incredible-sounding app that will just not export properly when used in auv3 as the sax defaults to staccato, rendering it utterly useless.
It’s so disappointing as otherwise it would be worth twice the price.
Judging by other comments it seems it’s been abandoned, so save your money folks and do not purchase.
And I say that with a heavy heart.

Won’t export as a file correctly

Fantastic sound in the app but unfortunately when you go to export your song it comes out as staccato which is rubbish if you want sensual, sustained sax. Refund will be requested-please fix the export issue.

UPDATE I’ve worked out how to get SS working and more importantly exporting properly in GB without turning to staccato. Took a while. First you must select it as an Inter App Audio in GB not an Audio Unit Extension. This means that you will be using the SS app to play the sax on the keyboard, not the GB keyboard. This will record it as a WAV type file so you can’t edit notes like a pattern but that’s the only way. This way when you go to export it won’t revert to staccato. The developers really should look into why this happens and fix it as it is the best sax app out there. IFretless Sax also gets good reviews.

Not compatible with garage band

While the sound is great I purchased the app to use with garage band. Yet whenever I record the sax turned all the way up to 100 for those nice long notes it bugs out and records them as low quality staccato notes so I can’t record/produce... I’ve tried merging the sound file etc to get around the bug but it’s just impossible to record this plug in on garage band which is a real shame because again, the noise is wonderful. Any chance for a refund?
