Hi

theres been a lot of talk of improvisation and synthesizing external sources
lately so my question is has anyone found filters or other modules which
work nicely with saxopone, especially soprano

Its my impression that filters can sound really great with trumpet and not
so good with saxophone. there are good mechanical reasons this should be the
case (rather than acoustic or electronic) because the sound eminates from
the entire body of the saxophone and just comes from one hole in the
trumpet- so subtractive methods for example doesn't really work because you
always hear the original sound as well as the filtered one.... this is why
brass instruments can be muted (mechanical filtering)

BTW I also find that harmonising and pitchshifting for example work better
on trumpet because the harmonic structure is less complex

any comments
