Mike,
To be honest a synth sax will never sound like the real thing, but, by the way the synth is played we can come quite close. A LOT of expression is needed while playing. I currently use a 2100 and I'll try to post a sample of what I mean.

Listen closely to Stan Gets and you will understand or Boo can explain better... it is never a single note played as in piano... kinda like a slide guitar where the note is reached by "moving to it from somewhere else" or a harmonica which sounds more realistic when you use the bender.

Also, the use of (2 in yam / or more -multilayers as in korg etc) can enhance the the output tone. Listen to a layered Sweet Harmonica + whistle or Sweet tenor + Growl sax (adjust volumes, octaves, pan, effects etc to desirable levels) and use modulation and bender. also remember to come to the note (accidently brush one other note before hitting the real note like, for C do EC where the E is soo slight and quick that it is felt but not noticed !! (just an eg.)

Playing ANY OTHER instrument on the keyboard involves a LOT of pratice and FEEL and excellent ear. getting the equivallent sound out is only accomplished by technic and our satisfaction is our reward !!
