A friend of mine is trying to get something approaching a realistic sax
(alto/tenor/baritone; he can do a soprano reasonably well) on a Yamaha DX7.

The settings suggested by Yamaha are completely unrealistic.
He has spectrograms of steady-state sounds (which I found in some articles
from the Journal of the Audio Eng. Soc), but just mimicking the harmonic
mix doesn't seem to do the trick.

Please *M*A*I*L* any suggestions to me.  I will summarize and post if
there is any interest.

P.S. I haven't done anything with the synthesizer, but have a fair amount
of experience with acoustics and recording engineering.  I'd be happy
to pass any requests/information both ways if anyone wants to correspond
with him.  My friend has had a wealth of musical experience (arranging for
movie studios, pop [old sense, e.g., Sinatra, Goulet] performers, and
jazz).

P.P.S. If there's a better place to post this, or if there is a Yamaha DX7
mailing list or group, please let me know.  Thanks in advance.
