How to make this brass sound with a softsynth?

I want to reproduce the main line of Palm Springs - The Rays with your average collection of softsynths (reason, fruity, cubase, logic, vst's, etc). I can't really tell if its a sax, trumpet, trombone, or either one heavily filtered, or what. I just want to reproduce it, so help me out :D

sample:

Generally, the typical "brass leads" are a combination of a saw and sqaure waveform. In this instance however, it sounds closer to a real instrument than a synth.

hmm... well do you have any idea how to best reproduce it?

Im assuming that sample wasnt a synth but a live sax.

somthing like that is best to be sampled. Trying to recreate that from scratch will be a LONG process of trial and error. And even then your not going to come up with a genuine pro sounding in tune saxaphone.

My recomendation is to sample it. www.ilio.com has seriously the most amazing sample librarys i have ever heard. Just today i was at one composers house getting a little demo of some of illio's sample banks and programing techniques in logic. Really its amazing how good these samples sound. This composer does tons of documentrys and episodic telvisons gigs. When we listend to the tracks he recorded live with musicians and the tracks he did with these sample librarys you couldnt not even tell the diffrence.

Yeah, good sample packs which can be very expensive. Other option is sample based synths like the roland XV series.
