Product information

General

The NUX NES-1 digital saxophone is incredibly versatile. Featuring Bluetooth, MIDI, a built-in 5.8Ghz wireless system, and a sax-style key lay-out that also supports trumpet fingering, this advanced wind instrument supports a wide variety of styles. The octave buttons cover up to four full octaves while, with 50 different voicings to choose from ranging from woodwind and brass to strings and synths, there's a perfect sound for every scenario.

The NES-1: High-Definition Colour Display, Sound Presets and More

This digital sax has been outfitted with a high-definition colour display, a user-friendly interface and two speakers that are powerful enough for modest performances as part of an ensemble. The special M-button makes it easy to switch between presets and keys, while the pressure-sensitive mouthpiece and the pitch-bend wheel hand you full control over the pitch and effects like vibrato and portamento.

Other Features

Other useful functions include five reverb presets, special fingerings for Chinese instruments and the option to record or amplify your playing via the fitted jack output. Built-in MIDI-over-USB support can even turn the NUX NES-1 into a MIDI controller for various wind instruments, completing an especially versatile instrument for both beginners and more advanced musicians.

NUX NES-1/BK Digital Saxophone

This is a pretty cool instrument but it does have some flaws, you can't hold down the G# button like you can on a normal sax, you can't do alternative Bb fingerings, I tried to play a tune at 128bpm and it just couldn't keep up with me, some notes it completely missed, these could be fixed with a firmware update I guess but unfortunately it wasn't for me, returned and awaiting refund.

NUX NES-1/BK Digital Saxophone

Ik heb dit instrument nog niet heel lang, maar tot nu toe ben ik er heel blij mee. Ik heb deze aangeschaft voor naast mijn gewone sax om vaker te kunnen spelen zonder geluidsoverlast en hiervoor is die ideaal. Je kunt het geluid zacht zetten of er een koptelefoon in steken. De knoppen voelen natuurlijk aan en de Bb kun je op de standaard manieren spelen. Voor mijn intermediate nivea is het een leuk instrument met veel verschillende geluiden en instellings mogelijkheden.
