Lately I’m writing a dance track and I need a good sounding sax. I’m using the library sounds Vir2 Mojo but I do not get a realistic interpretation because there’s a lack of realism in the sound.
Can you recommend any good sax synth vst or library?.
Thank you
Try this. You’ll get better results with a wind controller, but you can still use a keyboard.
Wow Amazing Demo! Not that expensive:
The Sax Brothers (Alto, Tenor & Baritone Saxophone): (KONTAKT)
EUR 239 (+ VAT if within the European Union, and if applicable
Thank you garethcoker!. Do you use it in any of your songs?
Not a user personally, but many other composer friends use this. Sax is a hard instrument to fake because of the amount of control the player has over the expression, but this is probably the best I’ve heard. If I was doing a sax track, I would jump to this library!
That looks pretty good, is there a way to actually try it out? i couldn’t find a demo download.
Haven´t check the sound of the Mini Sax, but it´s a free Kontak library.

Will test it this evening.
Being saxophone player myself, I really don’t think that any kind of sampled sax sound is suited for any kind professional music production. So hard to sample…just can’t sound good.
I think the East West Goliath sample pack has a Sax in it
I use Embertones Sensual Sax. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2FM2g-lVMR8
The interface alone is worth the $20 for laughs. Not very flexible, but the sounds are good, and fun to play with the legato on. It could propably be used in a dance track, but depends on your preferances.
And btw the Chapman Trumpet is awsome as well !

Thank you for your replies mates. As far as I can see there are good choices.
Samplemodeling looks the best product but there are also afordable priced and maybe easer to use Embertone Sensual Sax and Linplug Saxlab.
It depends of the complexity of the melody to fake a real interpretation but it looks that filmotones and Savani prefer sax with love 
I have understood that learning to play the saxophone requires much effort so i’ll try these vsts options
So this is real Sax? : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IyVPyKrx0Xo or this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lAhHNCfA7NI

lol The second one sounds like someone is hurting a duck! 
I still don’t find a real good sax, but with this topic I think I can find some good alternative.
The point is you don’t need a vst or kontakt SAX in order to solo the hell out of it…To accomplish some little melody or backing rhythm those mentioned are more than suitable-I suppose,correct me if I’m wrong
DVS Saxophone is free It’s alright for sustained notes I guess, not for faster parts with short notes
I’ve used it a lot before, here’s the example: http://youtu.be/rcDksv1mN5s?t=2m25s
I used a lot the samplemodeling one (with trumpet too) in a studio where I used to work and I have to say that is the most real to my ears even if you don’t use all the control possibilities. The legato sounds almost perfect out of a box and with just a bit of expression control the results are quite convincing. A real sax player can probably find the attack lacking of power and I have to agree but we know that right now for every acoustic instruments played well we can’t find a sampled counterpart that keeps the comparison…
BUT, listening to demos only (thus use grain of salt on this) it seems to me that the new swam engine makes the sound a little more artificial than the previous kontact version (the one used by me).
Also all samplemodeling are good for solo use but not so good for big ensenbles imho.
Of the following I own only NI Session Horns (not good for sax solo parts) thus my judgement is based on mere research work. A very recent research because I was searchin for a sax to use in a Christmas song for AJ I then used a piano instead…
The embertone one seems limited in the fact that the ‘sex’ part is programmed and you don’t have control on slurs and the like but the intensity of the effect only; said that both the legato and the sound are very good. If you need a sax like the one listened in their demo just get it; and the price is reeally cheap.
I personally don’t like the linplug one, too synthetic.
For general use (not sax in particular) I’d also consider NI Session Horns and Chris Hein Compact library; the latter has maybe the best bang for the buck ratio
Than, if you have the moneys, here is the one I prefer: http://www.fablesounds.com
I find it very convincing especially for ensembles.
