It drips spit on your knees just like a real sax.

Good demo of the Yamaha wind synth. It drips spit on your knees just like a real sax.

The VL70 has about 250 voices. Sax, trumpet, clarinet, french horn, bass guitar and some of the synth voices are very good. The flutes and strings mostly suck!

Flip on one of the sax settings and you'll see what I mean. For more detailed info, get in touch with me directly.
