Musical Sampling Atelier Series Austin Saxes

Atelier Series Austin Saxes is a true legato saxophone library performed by session player and educator, Colin Houlihan. 

Recorded at Orb Studios in Austin, TX " the goal with this release was to create a true workhorse full saxophone library that could accomplish a variety of musical tasks with vibe and ease. Just play your parts in and ride the modwheel! 

Vibrato is a crucial characteristic. Just like Musical Sampling's Sasaki Trumpet release, they captured the natural, progressive vibrato found in Colin's performances to keep things as musical and credible as possible. They've also provided both Natural (untuned) and Tuned variations of their patches " the former retaining natural pitch biases up the range of the instrument.

Musical Sampling have included two playing styles. The Workhorse patches cater to upbeat, energetic contexts. Great for jazz, rock and pop genres. The Emotional patches were recorded soft with a more subtle, emotive vibrato for delicate and expressive passages.

What Is The Altelier Series?

Oftentimes during the research and experimental phase of development, Musical Sampling creates instruments that don't necessarily belong to a bigger, themed release. Instead of attempting to shoehorn them into a future release or trying to construct a comprehensive product around it, they decided to create the Atelier Series so that other composers can enjoy their explorations in sample development as well.
