Acoustic Saz is an extensively multi-sampled fretless 5-string Saz Baglâma brought home from the streets of Turkey, where master craftsman have been building them by hand for centuries.
Using a wide, close pair of large-diaphragm mics in a dry studio, we painstakingly sampled all three string runs (low octave, middle and high unison) with 12x round robin and up to 6 velocity layers for open notes going up 1.5 octaves per string.
We also captured palm mutes, string chokes, releases and tons of percussive effects.
We sampled a wide legato, or “slide” range for all three runs of strings with multiple velocity layers and 4x round robin.
The Saz interface offers full control over how a note is played and which string it is played on.
Hammer-on, pull-off, slide, choke and palm mute are all controlled per-string.
We’ve also included an intelligent auto-strumming system.
There are special patches for creating custom tunedpercussion blends, effects, Uberpeggiator and of course ambiences.
It also has a dynamic and adaptive arpeggiation system, capable of freestyle and 32-step tempo-synched humanized groove creation and chord/key constraint.
The FX rack gives you access to Chorus, Flanger, Phaser, Dynamics, Drive (featuring 4 different effects), 2 amp sims, 8 cabs, EQ, Filter, tempo-synched Delay and convolution Reverb with dozens of custom room and FX impulses.
The Acoustic Saz includes a brand new innovative interface for amazing control:

This is a standard Kontakt open-format library, so the free Kontakt Player does not fully support it and can only run it in a limited “demo mode”.
However, the sample directories are unlocked so you can use them in other wav-compatible software, sampler and synth formats.
The special Libraries tab doesn’t support this open-format Kontakt library, but you can use the standard File browser tab and import this library into the Kontakt Quickload window for easy loading and navigation.
