  • Why no saxophones in the SYNCHRON-ized Single Woodwinds?

    In searching through the vast VSL offerings for everything I need, I became aware of an odd omission: SYNCHRON-ized saxophones in the SYNCHRON-ized Single Woodwinds. You see, I come from the wind band tradition and most of my musical ideas will be realized in that medium. My band ambitions are OK; VSL has all the wind and percussion instruments I need in the various SYNCHRON and SYNCHRON-ized packages. But when the new SYNCHRON-ized Single Woodwinds came out, I was really surprised to see no saxes. Heckelphone? Check! Contrabass clarinet? Got it! Oboe d'amore, basset horn? But of course! Alto sax? Nope. For my modest needs, the cut-down versions of the saxes in SYNCHRON-ized Special Editions Vols 2 and 4 will probably be OK, but more advanced users could benefit from a complete SYNCHRON-ized saxophones package. I know you can't do everything at once, but really...did your market surveys actually show a bigger customer demand for heckelphone than alto sax?
