He should’ve hooked it up to a computer vst instrument. Or external synth.

I think it should cost $ 200

Sounds bad tho .. why can't they get synth to actually sound like a sax?

Physics. You need a powerful computer and complicated algorithms to simulate a physical instrument reliably with all the tiny details. And also very responsive sensors. But I doubt there will ever be a sensor for lip embouchure.

@@camelCased That makes sense. I am always so hopeful when a new sunth thing comes out, but it is always disappointing for the sax. They can do a flute or grand piano fairly well, but a sax always sounds like Zelda music
