Electronic Saxophone

To get the sound of a real instrument you need to get right:-

  1. the frequency
  2. the mix of harmonics
  3. the changing mix of harmonics over time.
  4. the change in all the above when the blow velocity changes.

There are two options, you can either play back a sample sound from a wave shield, one for each note. Or you can synthesise the waveform. The UNO is not fast enough to do this but it is possible to do this with a Due. There is a good book about modelling synths by Perry Cook, he has a web site with code on it to help you to do this. However it is not a thing for beginners, it is rather advanced.
