Tenor saxophone library that’s dripping with vibe and personality. Tenor Colossus fills a much-needed gap in everyone's sample arsenal. Based on the same sampling concepts as "Birth of the Trumpet,” this library marks the first truly realistic sampled sax of its kind. 

-Beautiful vintage Mark VI tenor saxophone performed by a seasoned jazz player. 

 -The New Standard method of sampling. Over 2,000 samples per note for a level of detail and realism never before possible. Goes beyond simple round-robins and legato transitions to a truly unprecedented number of note variations.

-2 microphone positions (close and room), with custom bleed convolution reverb.

-“Smart Delay” feature which analyzes dozens of details about the played phrase and intelligently selects the appropriate samples. Works in tandem with our New Standard sampling method, to eliminate the need for auditioning countless keyswitches just to create a realistic melodic phrase.

-“Reconstructed Vibrato” the recreates the timbral embouchure characteristics of a real player’s vibrato.

-All the standard articulations required of a saxophone player in this style (legato, staccatos, falls, trills, scoops, glisses, etc).

Too fun not to share. User demo of a certain British rock band's song "Fix You" in a kind-of Herb Alpert style. Nice to hear Birth of the Trumpet outside it's jazz comfort zone.

Straight Ahead Samples arose out of the need to fill a void in the sampled instrument world: Jazz. The lack of usable, authentic jazz samples has kept us (and we assume, a lot of other composers) from NOT writing as much jazz as we wanted. So we decided to do some sampling for ourselves. It turned out so great, that we're making our libraries available to everyone to hopefully help increase the amount of jazz music produced for tv and film.
