Erik Robo Sax Klein

Erik knew early on that electronic music was his destiny.  Growing up, he was fascinated by the synthesized textures of Zawinul, Jan Hammer and Wendy Carlos.  After years of traditional saxophone study, he felt the saxophone limited him musically. 
“It only has one sound – sax.” says Erik. 

 

In 1987 he started playing the EWI1000, a sax-like synthesizer, and his sonic palette became limitless.  Now, he wasn’t restricted to only one sound.  A whole new world of sonic potential opened up for Erik which he fully explored in various jazz fusion bands.

 

In 1997 Erik discovered the Synthophone - an actual saxophone modified to play synthesizers.  His love of sax and synths was combined into one instrument.
To quote Erik, “The Synthophone became bionically attached to my inner voice!” 

 

Thus, Erik Klein was transformed into Robo Sax.  With his Synthophone, Robo Sax can emulate traditional acoustic instruments as well as futuristic synthesizer sounds never before heard.

 

Robo Sax is a Softwind Instruments Synthophone Artist,
and endorses Patchman Music & Samplemodeling.
