Saxophone is a performance musical instrument for your iPhone. It plays, sounds, and operates like a real sax.
Realistic controls * Real fingerings * Real samples * Real chromatic control over more than two octaves * a flexible sound engine * a visual synthesizer * wireless MIDI control! * record your performances, and listen in the browser/email/embed them!
Saxophones controls are based upon the principles of a real sax. You can adjust this control to include breath, touch, and even tilt control.
Its a great way to learn how a sax works, and its expressive enough to be a real instrument for proficient musicians.
The iPhone only allows 5 touches at a time -- but theres an easy rule of thumb: if youre using your right fingers, lift up your left; and vice versa. See the manual included for all the details!
Saxophone includes a unique sound engine that uses sound samples of real instruments -- including a soprano, alto, tenor, and baritone saxophone.
Saxophone also features the Visual Synth. Create your own sounds with our additive synthesizer, adding reverb, filters, and sculpting the overtones to explore the soundscape.
Control your music studio with Saxophone -- full MIDI control is included via the musicofx midi tool [PC *and* Mac], free with Saxophone! Control GarageBand, Reason, or Logic wirelessly -- a new performance MIDI controller!
Finally, you can record and share your Saxophone performances. Upload, download, vote -- you can even listen to them in your browser, embed them in your blog, or send them to Mom in an email.

Wasted more time writing this
looks cool, fun to play. getting the hang of playing through the octaves is a little tricky, sometimes i wish i had extra fingers. but at least i dont have to deal with reeds :)
Its pretty cool. This is the kind of instrument that the iPhone should feature. Half a star off for taking this long for developers to come up with it, half a star off because the iPhone is a little small for all those keys. Still, its a pretty fun toy.
I love your instruments. I have the trumpet as well. The only bad thing I can think of is that key A sounds a little bit off to me.. So can you make sure its the right pitch? Because every time I play that note, it always throws the tune off a bit. Anyway... Great job guys. BTW, I left a lengthy review for the trumpet app as well but somehow its not showing up.
