Introducing Embertone's first Virtual Instrument for your iPhone/iPad: a deeply sampled iOS instrument with true legato, and the only virtual instrument with Sexiness Control. If you're looking for that George Michael/"Careless Whispers" sound... look no further!
This is your digital solution to sax saturation. Bring your sax levels to 11... Try Sensual Sax today!
FEATURES:
- MIDI input / output
- IAA
- Audio Unit 3
- Audiobus
- True legato sampling for realistic note transitions
- Three sets of articulations
Controls include REVERB (with controllable AMOUNT and ROOM SIZE settings); VIBRATO (with dedicated DEPTH slider); DELAY (with control over AMOUNT and TIME); and switchable LEGATO, SUSTAIN, and STACCATO playing styles using the onscreen lockable keyboard (switchable to DOUBLE KEYBOARD for further flexibility). It goes without saying that it is compatible with all major iOS-based DAWs (Digital Audio Workstations), working with Apple’s Audio Unit Extensions technology — that brings the Audio Units system-level full plug-in architecture model (that was previously only available to third-party developers like Embertone in OS X) to iOS — as well as Inter-App Audio and Audiobus for full communication with the outside musical world.
==========
Founded by composer/orchestrator Alex Davis and composer/sound designer Jonathan Churchill, Embertone has been producing next-level virtual instruments since 2012. Its mission is simple: sample lots of great instruments, and bring them to market to inspire awesome new music! The co-founders seriously love what they do, admiring the likes of Tonehammer, Sample Modeling, and Sonic Couture — companies that have led the way to this new age of deeply-sampled virtual instruments, and aim to move that tradition forward by finding new ways to capture the essence of an instrument and program it in an intuitive and responsive package... and, of course, offer it to the composing community at an atttractive price! As the go-to company for musicians looking for realistic and fun virtual instruments since releasing the free Intimate Strings LITE for Native Instruments’ industry-standard KONTAKT (4.2.4+), the full-blown Friedlander Violin subsequently became the flagship solo product for the KONTAKT PLAYER platform while setting the production standard for future realistic-sounding releases.

Sensual Sax FAQ
Is Sensual Sax free?
Yes, Sensual Sax is completely free and it doesn't have any in-app purchases or subscriptions.
Is Sensual Sax legit?
🤔 The Sensual Sax app's quality is mixed. Some users are satisfied, while others report issues. Consider reading individual reviews for more context.
A solid 3.5. In my time spent with this app, I can say that I’m impressed with the quality of the samples. The Legato is convincing enough. However there are some minor issues what are a bit of a headache but there are workarounds.
First, When opening a project with the app used as an AU3 in garage band on the iPad, the midi will play staccato until you open the track settings. Then it will play as you’ve intended
Lastly, when exporting a project as an audio file in GarageBand on the iPad, the export will crash…every.single.time. The workaround is to merge the track into a single audio wav file. Which cannot be undone in garage band if you want to export the whole song. The work around for that is to duplicate the project before merging the midi track.
These issues are manageable but also extremely irritating when you are testing mixes and audio levels on other platforms.
Your app is not working
It won’t work for garageband, can you fix it please.
keeps crashing but is the best plug in
i love this app so much and the controls but it keeps crashing for me in garageband. please update it, its been 6 years
Using an expression pedal made all the difference
Mapped cc2 to my wind controller and the SEX to my expression pedal. After some practice I did get a realistic sax sound. Wish the effects were independent of the wheel but I found a work around when I hosted in Camelot pro.
Please bring this to macOS as a standalone
I'm serious! :)
Good but bad
Love the sound. Love the ease of connectivity, but the shear amount of buggyness is upsetting. you can’t have two tracks of this addon with out it crashing. you can’t play chords, your can’t record a rhythm and then play a non recording rhythm on the same track. it’s just super buggy and lacks a lot of features that budget musicians look for in products.
For the love of all music producers, please UPDATE this app!
App fails to properly load on song export from GarageBand, so custom settings always revert to staccato, making the app worthless for production. If Embertone has no intention of maintaining the app, please sell it off to someone who can.
Ignore negative reviews!
Update:
Bug found. So if I export song from GarageBand iOS, it seems to place the sax into staccato but I want it in legato. Please fix! The work around is to merge the track into a wave format. But not sure if it’s a gb bug or sensual sax bug.
However my opinion stands. This is a great app and I hope devs keep supporting it.
I really don’t know how this doesn’t have 5 stars. What an AMAZING app! Lovely!
Do not buy this app
So sad that the developers have not kept up with this app. Totally broken and will not play in daws.
I need help.
The app is good, I use it in Garageband and in plenty of occasions when I’m recording, it appears and interface that states: “The Audio Plugin stopped do you want to deactivate it or execute it again?”
It’s so bothering and the app had a high price for what it offers.
When it came the day to export my song, the sound of the Sax does not include the effects I configured in the Garageband, it just sounds one note that last 1 second and without the effects.
Please, I need help!
