This is the app for guitar, bass, and strings players who need realistic woodwind instrument sounds for recording or live performance.
iFretless responds naturally to the the finger movements strings players use for vibrato and sliding between pitches. Using those techniques, the app gives a more believable, natural imitation of woodwind sounds than traditional keyboard based synth interfaces.
It also supports midi input from EWI MIDI controller devices and keyboard MIDI controllers.

Good - but Tenor Sax needs fixing.
This has some good sounds with plenty of options to tweak the eq and reverb amongst other things. Unfortunately as others have observed, the Tenor Sax sound is not very usable due to a pronounced percussive click at the beginning of each note.
So far it is working well as an AUv3 in Cubasis and Dorico.
Hardly ever works.
Totally unreliable
Tenor sax needs fixing
Overall very pleased with the sounds and even tracks well with a guitar but there is a pronounced percussive click on each note of the tenor sax sound which is impossible to eq out and is immune to noise gates, it makes the sound sadly unusable in most instances.Would be a five star app if this is rectified.
A musicians app
On the plus side this is a very nice looking app, with excellent sounds and great connectivity, excepting AU. But it is very much a musicians app. In other words you will need to know where to put your fingers. If you are more of a dabbler, then Sensual Sax is probably a better option.
Nic
Sadly is not good
Unfortunately this app is not good if you want to emulate the sound or even close to woodwind sound. I downloaded it to use with my Ewi but unfortunately every instrument sounds the same and not very good at that.
I said sadly not good because I keep looking for an app that will provide samples as good as Samplemodeling does for OSX. Of course I'm being unrealistic to expect an ios app to be able to provide such quality but I live in hope.
Welcome back the old alto sax... And gone again!
Oh dear! This latest update has added a lush silky reverb effect (that really wasn't needed) and in the process removed all the raw and dynamic natural character of the alto sax I loved so much. Please put it back how it was and the five stars will go back.
