Saxophone sound

I'm playing saxophone and using Noteworthy Composer to do some transcription work & play-along on  midi file depends what I can find.

I don't have a keyboard and just use Creative Sound Blaster Value sound card on my PC.  I can hear the saxophone (both alto, tenor & soprano saxophone) sound completely doesn't like any saxophone if I use the Instrument Pitch on this program.  What I can do? Any sources I can download to cerate better sax sound?

Go to www.hammersound.net
Follow the links to Soundfonts.
Then Collections.
On about the last page of the collections you should be able to find the Chaos 12Mb or the Chaos 8Mb soundfont.
Download one of these and load it as a user soundfont in Synth A: on your Live card.
It will probably sound more like a saxophone than you do!! ;)

Barry,

Thanks a lot.

But could you please tell me:

1) After download the soundont from hammersound, should I just install/put it into my sound card's soundfont file?

2) How to link up my sound card (new soundfont) with the Noteworthy Composer during playback?  Because I can't find my sound card from  - Insert - Insert Instrument pitch - Patch Type.
