Are there any raspy saxes in the upcoming BB&J?

[benjamind]

Just wondering if there are any raspy sax presets/intrsuments in the upcoming BB&J.

I really love that raspy saxophone sound, especially in the alto, tenor and baritone saxes, but I've also heard it with sopranos too.

I'm itching to know. I'm really looking forward to this upcoming cool Big Band & Jazz thinga-a-ma-jig...especially with all those sax-a-ma-phones :D

BenI'm still not releasing details about the programming. Sorry about that.

Tom, are there any lions roars or cats meows? :D Just pulling your leg ...

Hey Tom, since you're programming saxes, hows about some raspberry or bluesberry saxes. Or for that real mean one, poisonberry. :)

Now does Gary know you’ve been up here posting so much lately? Aren't you supposed to be locked in your studio with only bread and water slid under the door until the JBB is born? :D:D

Hope things are going well for you.

If I don't get a bass sax that moos like a cow - I'm not buying it... seriously... NOT! :D

Does a serpent (http://www.oddmusic.com/gallery/om24750.html) count as an "aspy" instrument? ;)

Wow, now that's an instrument. Is it too late to get one of these added into GPOA? ;) :D

Honk yer Sax Markleford!While I continue to have problems with the most basic tonguing articulation (as a converted brass player it's just too alien!), I certainly have no difficultly with the squeaks and squonks. ;)

Though that brings up the question of whether *controlled* multiphonics are included as a keyswitch, but I suppose we'll just have to wait and see, given Tom's vow of silence! :D

We'll have to get bumper stickers that say "Honk of you love Gary."
