Extended Saxophone Techniques and Textures

The library is organized around articulations and textures rather than standard notes. The melodic articulations include frullati, key noises, multiphonics, slap and vibrato, each playable as its own sound source.

The texture set goes further. It includes Air, circular breathing, free textures that combine melodic, key noise, slap and tremolo material, plus frullati textures, key noise textures and key noise rises. Have Audio also notes sheets of sound synced to tempo, in a style it links to Coltrane-inspired playing, which suits rhythmic, evolving pads.

Built-In Effects and Time Control

Sax Fury includes an arpeggiator, a reverse function and a Time Travel Bar, which provides realtime-controllable time stretching. This makes it possible to move through a sound's length and alter its motion while playing.

The instrument also offers a selection of nine reverbs and a delay. These processing options are part of the instrument, so you can build a finished texture without adding a separate effects chain.
