iFretless Sax

Each iFretless app gives you the ability to play countless lead instruments (Horns, Brass, Guitar, Bass or ANY MIDI instrument) - All without having to learn keyboard! The sounds built into these apps are top notch! The flexibility to setup the number of frets and strings and the note offset between strings is a game-changer! Do you want to instantly apply your skills as a bassist or guitarist to ANY instrument? Would you like to perform a sax or trumpet solo from your virtual bass on the screen? Easy/peasy! Do you just want to play along with some tunes while you on the move? Piece of cake! Would you like to play a local or remote synthesizer from your familiar fretboard instrument? This is an essential app to help make that happen! I’ve wait for an instrument app like this for YEARS! For the lowest possible latency use wired headphones (but it works with Bluetooth headphones as well). Just TRY it!

But the note “sliding” is the biggest downside of the app. Real saxophones aren’t trombones and one can not perform a legato on them. The app “Sensual Sax” treats these transitions more realistically, but each of these apps have their positives. Would just like to have more realistic note transitions available here. Thanks!

This version seem to have bugs in the two instruments! The clarinet and alto are really good if you tweak it for your controller. Please fix the other instruments and test them with a wind controller like the Akai EWI 4000s.

As of 20191010: I really had not found much use for earlier versions of iFretless Sax, but, that may be changing for the better with this new update. The new presets I've sampled so far sound good for the kind of long-play generative noises I like to make. That said, I should also remark that I have been enjoying the other iFretless instruments for a good while now. I am tempted to boost this from 4 to 5 stars, but, I guess I'll run it for a few more days first (hopefully I won't forget to boost it). It is hard to make blanket recommendations for sophisticated software like iFretless as the apps can be used in different ways by people with different needs and skill sets.... The instrument apps (the only type from Mani I own) seem to consistently improve over time.

Please?!

The option to included subtle fret noises and squeaks for the bass and guitar apps...for this app, they could add the option for the sounds and clicks of pressing the buttons (but I wouldn’t need it...however, light fret noises and squeaks during slides help to add that feeling of hands having relation to strings for the iFretless bass and guitar...please add)😄

I’ve been using this app almost everyday for weeks now to create super lush drones on my iPhone (with added effects via Audiobus 3.0). The tones are so good and easy for a non-skilled musician to play around with. Worth every penny!

App said it was free at first but a to find out later charged me $10

IF YOU PLAN TO TRIGGER ANY iFRETLEES APPS,WITH A ROLI SEABOARD RISE...DON'T BOTHER!!!! NOTES STICK,PERMANENT SUSTAIN CC MESSAGES RESULT IN STUCK NOTES.ONLY MIDI PANIC ESCAPE,Will KILL CONSTANT SUSTAIN.MOST FRUSTRATING INDEED!!!!!!

It works much much better now, thank you
