Yes, The T3 has Aftertouch on its Keyboard for the voices that allow you to increase volume after the note has been sounded. The SA2 type effects are triggered by how you strike the keys (velocity sensitive) plus you can add other effects on startup notes and ending notes with the ART buttons. As a Tenor Sax player I find the velocity aspect of the keyboard similar to how I would play the sax so I am very satisfied with the results on the SA2 Sax voices and it was the main reason I bought the Tyros 3. Unfortunately T3 does not have a good Bari Sax or Alto Sax voice IMHO. But I do find the Soprano Sax voices very good on T3 even if they are not SA or SA2.
