Bigga Giggas The John Rekevics Saxophone (Kontakt)

Bigga Giggas The John Rekevics Sax - samples in this library include four kinds of saxophones: Soprano, Alto, Tenor and Baritone. Bigga Giggas The John Rekevics Saxophone the samples in this library were performed by Rekevics on vintage Selmer Mark VI saxes, and each instrument was sampled chromatically over its full range. The sustained patches (vibrato and nonvibrato) have four Velocity layers each; most of the others have two.

To maximize versatility, developer John Thomas recorded the samples in mono and stereo. For the mono recordings, he used a Neumann condenser mic in a traditional close-mic setup and ran the mic through a custom tube preamp to capture the warmth of early mono recordings. For the stereo samples, he used a matched pair of Shure KSM32 condenser mics and a solid-state preamp.
