I have been searching my KN7 for a Kenny G sax sound (to suit Careless Whisper), cannot seem to get it right.
has anyone got a clue to help me to get at least something equivalent?

Hi Ray,
I had a look at one of Kenny G's videos on YouTube and it can be seen that he has a microphone attached to the end of his Soprano Sax, which obviously feeds into a PA System. So, there could be all sorts of Sound effects being applied to his instrument via the PA system ..... I've downloaded one of his songs to the PC attached to my KN7000 to listen to his sound and tried to edit one of the KN7000 Sop. Sax sounds to get something a bit nearer to his sound. It's difficult to hear his sound in isolation because of all the other instrumentation in his recordings. Anyway, I've attached a Zip file of the edited sound to this post.... just unzip to a floppy Disk and feed it to your KN7000....

Have you got the appropriate style / rhythm for Careless Whisper Ray?

Hi Rog, relying on a sexy rumba at the moment.
What might you suggest?
