Soundiron Acoustic Saz KONTAKT




Welcome to Soundirons Acoustic Saz library! Acoustic Saz is a truly, deeply sampled 5-string acoustic saz baglma library for Kontakt with a huge range of extended content, an innovative new custom interface and cutting-edge powerful performance features.


his beautiful fretless Saz was procured directly from the streets of Turkey, where master craftsman have been building them by hand for centuries. We painstakingly sampled all three runs of strings (low octave, middle single and high unison) with a massive 12x round robin and up to 6 velocity layers for open notes on an octave and a half per string. Continuing the depth are palm mutes, string chokes, release samples and a slew of percussive effects all at 12x round robin with multiple velocity layers.

We set out to make the Acoustic Saz the most realistic, playable and flexible instrument we could, expertly capturing its naturally beautiful sound in stunning clarity and unmatched depth. With a powerful custom interface, intelligent pluck mode, hand position, tuning, key range, chord, strum, legato, arpeggiation, effects rack and advanced custom performance technologies, we put the power of the real instrument right in your hands. Enjoy!
