I almost posted this in chas' 'country' thread, but did not want to hijack it ...
I was listening to Benny Golson's original Killer Joe - and many other jazz sax players playing a wide range of songs - and I cannot help but think that the sax is the most difficult instrument for arranger keyboard manufacturers to emulate ... Is it because each sax player and/or saxophone has a sound all his/her/its own?
I know AKBs have many different sax sounds, but why can't the KB manufacturers produce a true Getz or Desmond or Mulligan sound?

Personally, I think the best sax sound I've heard on a AKB is what I think was called the 'Soft Alto Sax' on my technics Kn6000 ... Sounded the closest to a Paul Desmond sax than any other I've heard ...
JMHO
