| “I’ve never before played
such fantastic saxophones like the
SaxLab ones!” Francesco Crisafulli, Italy
| | Catch the spirit of Saxophones. SaxLab is the result of many years of investigation and programming. It uses not one technology, but a very carefully balanced mixture of various techniques, to obtain the most realistic sax sound you can get from a virtual instrument. Authenticy, Expression and Variation is a must to obtain believable sax sounds. SaxLab does it all.

“This instrument sounds amazing!”
Geary Yelton, Associate Editor Electronic Musician on SaxLab 1 “SaxLab sounds a whole lot better than any of the sax patches on even the most expensive of my synth”
Future Music June 2005 on SaxLab 1 “If you need to use saxophone sounds regularly, it remains an excellent buy”
Verdict 8/10, Computer Music Oct 2008 on SaxLab 2 “I’ve used SaxLab for several realistic Sax solos and people who’ve heard wondered who I’d hired”
John Eddy, California USA on SaxLab 1 “Using a carefully balanced mixture of various techniques, SaxLab 2 stakes its claim as king of the mountain, able to obtain the most realistic virtual sax out there.“
J. Irving-Giles, Gearwire, June 2008 on SaxLab 2 “As I’ve said, the plugin is brilliant, and turns any producer into a world class sax soloist. Just add some riffs - SaxLab does the rest. Five stars!!”

| | Geoff Levin is proud to present "Lin's Theme", his tribute to Jazz.
“I have been impressed with LinPlug synths and their sample based plug-ins for years. Their newest, Saxlab 2 was intriguing, so I wrote a piece using it. I played all the instruments in the group except the drums. I love sax but I am not a wind person. But, with a little help from LinPlug I was able to express myself with sax's. This was a fun piece to write. Hope you enjoy it.” Geoff
