This saxophone soars, riffs and roars with 100% natural vibrato and tone. No AI or modeling. In legato mode, BGS will turn your midi into a time machine with bluesy autobends so hot you might have to use the [newly introduced] vanilla keyswitch feature to control it. The style has its roots in 1950s blues and rock ‘n’ roll, but the sound is timeless across genres. It’s present in the fiery ballads of the ’70s and is especially noticeable in the instrumental TV themes of the ’80s and ’90s.
