Instantly Atmospheric

The library contains 1.6 GB of sample data spread across over 850 individual licks and phrases. With exquisite performances from Nico Finke – a top professional sax player based in Germany and with an extensive live and recording credit list – the tenor sax as been beautifully recorded. All the material is presented dry without EQ or compression to capture the full expressive nature, dynamics and intimate sound of the instrument and to allow you to add exactly the right processing required for your musical context.

Super Cool Sax Lines

The phrases were originally performed at tempos ranging from 70 to 90bpm and would form perfect material for use in chillout, lounge, jazz, easy listening, downbeat, deephouse, ambient music styles or even double time genres such as Drumstep, Liquid Drum & Bass or Garage. However, with Elastik’s excellent time-stretching capabilities, other tempos are also easily supported.
