A Unique Tool To Trigger Your Creativity

Main Dropdown Menu

All of the patches and articulations for “Sax Fury” can be selected from here:

• FRULLATI mf – FRULLATI technique recorded at dynamic mezzoforte.
• FRULLATI f – FRULLATI technique recorded at dynamics forte to create a harsh, penetrating sound.
• KEYS – key noises obtained by pressing the correspondent keys. Great for coloring percussive effects.
• MULTIPHONICS – selection of 34 inspiring and cinematic multiphonics.
• SLAP – notes played with slap technique. Great for percussive effects.
• TEXTURES – various textures, implying noise, melodic elements, multiphonics etc.
• VIBRATO – slow and unique vibrato, inspired by the work “Improvisation 1” by Ryo Noda.
• AT WOS Atonal Sheets of Sound – 21 different patches of WOS (Sheets of Sound) recorded at different tempos and around one key or key center. This technique is not meant to be tonal so the indicated keys (Bb, Eb, F) were just the starting point for the player to build his phrases and textures.
• HYBRID – sax sounds heavily processed by using analog and digital effect guitar pedals. Had you ever thought a saxophone could do all of this?
• HYBRID SLAP – slap samples processed by arpeggiators and pedal effects.

WOS: Sheets of Sound

Sax Fury includes a large collection of sheets of sounds, played at different tempos and with different “tonal” references, known as WOS (Walls of Sound). The Sheets of Sound was a technique first invented and used by legendary saxophonist John Coltrane.

Although the technique is melodic in its nature, Coltrane’s goal was to create a sonic mass and texture with it, in order to implement it in his musical work. That’s also the reason why the Bb, Eb and F Have Audio included in the patch names don’t necessarily suggest a specific key in a tonal way but served as a starting point for the player to build his own sheets of sound.

Since the main idea behind sheets of sound is purely textural and disruptive they don’t necessarily need to be anchored to a specific key. On the contrary, they are able to generate interesting effects because of the contrast they create.

Time Travel Bar

If HOST is engaged, then the tempo of each phrases will match your DAW tempo, as to say, the tempo of your project. If you switch it off, then you will be able to move this bar in whatever direction you want to create custom effects: accelerando and ritardando in real-time or even set a different tempo than the one used in your project.

Or bring the BPM 2, 3 points down compared to your current project’s tempo in order to replicate a typical jazz player effect referred as “laid-back” playing, whose function is that of creating even more tension and expectation.

Effects

• REVERB – Choose between a great selection of top quality reverbs and set the desired amount of effect.
• DELAY – Open up your Delay drop down menu and choose your delay type based on the subdivision you want. From here you can set the desired amount of effect, feedback and time multiplier.
• REVERSE – The reverse button triggers magic! The reverse quality is so pristine that you can get really different effects depending on the type of sample you apply this effect to.

The Arpeggiator

This is a very common but powerful tool to create arpeggios. If you’re looking for realistic arpeggios effects, you’ll get the best results with staccato samples but experiment with longer sounds and textures too if you’re looking for crazy, unusual effects or you want to dig more into sound design.

You can decide how many steps you want by simply digit the desired number. You can then draw the arpeggio shape with your mouse inside the arpeggiator step window. Selected height will result in a difference in volume of that specific step. If the orange rectangle disappears then you’ll have no sound for that specific step.

You can change the octave when the patch notes range allows you to do so and, last but not least, you can change the arpeggio pattern by selecting your preferred shape in the Arpeggiator drop down menu.

Automations

As you may already know from other Kontakt instruments, by right-clicking on each control (knob or slide) you can learn the MIDI CC# automatically and control it through any keyboard controller fader available or by the mod wheel. Just right click, select Learn MIDI CC# Automation and move the desired keyboard fader/knob etc. You can do this with any fader or knobs you see in our interface.
