Product Overview

Saxomaphonium is a hybrid sample library that combines the sounds of baritone and alto saxophones with two types of pump organs. This unique blend creates an expressive palette that reimagines traditional wind instruments into something fresh and versatile, suitable for a range of scoring contexts.

Details

The library features looped long notes and staccatos from both saxophones, processed through effects for added character. It includes six velocity layers for the saxophones and five for the staccato articulations, ensuring dynamic responsiveness. The harmonium and pump organ components are binaurally recorded, providing an intimate sound that can be further shaped with various controls.

Notable features include BPM-synced looping for the harmonium, note jitter for added realism, and extensive modulation options for pan, volume, vibrato, and chorus. The Kontakt engine allows for deep customization, with 55 instrument snapshots and fully automatable controls. This makes Saxomaphonium a compelling choice for composers looking to explore new textures and timbres in their work.
