As the title says:
1. Anyone try these?
2. Do these ever go on sale?
3. How about the SWAM engine vs Kontakt? CPU use comparable?
 
Doesn't look like they're going to split them up & sell them separately.

I have and use The Sax Brothers. IMHO the absolute best sounding saxes. Takes a bit to learn to play them, but the realism blows static sample libraries away.
 

I use them with my EWI-USB wind controller although you can use them with a keyboard and/or a breath controller.  They are by far the best sounding saxes on the market today IMHO. 

I really like the Swan engine.  Although I do not have any Samplemodeling Kontakt patches I do have other Kontakt horn patches and I really like the ease of setting up the Swan engine, but YMMV.

They are very good and rarely go on any really meaningful sale. Dern it!

I'm not even going to listen to the demos. Just don't have the extra cash right now. Well, I might listen to them but I'm not going to buy them...

IIRC this is the product Robby recommends?
 

They sound Real Good with the EWI but $360+ puts it on my want list for now.... Dern it here too!
 

Bapu has this mind reader capability that is down right spooky sometimes....

Hahaha!
He sure does!   Wallet out and card in hand, have ya'?  
 
Thanks for the replies Buds.
 
I think they sound really good as well. 
 
The only Sax that I'm happy with so far is the Sensual Sax from Embertone, which I think is excellent in & of itself.
But you know - we never have enough, do we fellas?
 
I'm curious about the Swan engine.
 
Thanks for the input on that Mario.
 
Did it take long to learn the finger placement of the EWI-USB? 
 
I used to play B-flat Coronet in junior high for 3 years, but that was like 200 + years ago now.
