I agree with much that was already said on this topic. Scott is right about playing the sax on a keyboard to an audience.... Sax is one of the hardest instruments on a keyboard to play... It's the same way with the guitars. There are just so many technics that are used when playing the actual instrument, that it's almost impossible to duplicate this in real time. I've heard some great sax solos on midis, but I often find that the majority of these sax solos weren't recorded in realtime, but rather step recording was used... It's just a hard instrument to play and play well on the keys. We can run all the riffs we want and bend all the notes we want, but a sax solo done on a keyboard will ALWAYS sound like a keyboard.. I have yet to hear a sax recording done in realtime that completely blew me away and made me think twice. However I have heard some guitar solos that dropped my jaw that were done on keyboards.
Boo, keep playing that sax man! No matter how hard I or anyone else here tries, we will never be able to produce a sax solo any where near the quaility of what you can do on the actual instrument.....
