Sf2 no lmms

[HotRats]

Is there any way to make a saxophone look realistic in SF2, or will it always look like a robotic harmonica? Is there a high-quality file or should I add some setting to make it look real?

That depends on the soundfont. I do not know any soundfont that can generate perfect sax-sounds, but there may be one. If you cant find any, you perhaps should use a VST, but in general emulating akustical instruments perfectly is very hard for softsynths.

Exactly, it might be possible because LMMS is the raw side of any sound effect; if it can record an instrument, then yes, it's possible. There must be some genius who knows how to manipulate the settings very well. And to make him sound more human and able to do some saxophone tricks (like those experimental music noises on Zorn's album Naked City).The impression I get so far is that any type of sound is possible in LMMS.
