Acoustic Saz is a deeply-sampled Turkish 5-string acoustic Saz Baglâma library for Kontakt, featuring a comprehensive range of articulations and performance features. This library, recorded with large-diaphragm mics in a dry studio, includes open plucks, palm mutes, string chokes, and percussive effects. It also provides true legato, a mic mixer, an FX rack with amp modeling, auto-strumming, and an arpeggiator.

Key features:

• Open notes covering 1½ octaves per string (12x round-robin)
• Palm Mute notes covering 1½ octaves per string (12x round-robin)
• Choked notes per string (12x round-robin)

The innovative interface includes performance controls closely simulating real-world Saz functionality. The Uberpeggiator system provides velocity step sequencer, humanization, adaptive modes, roll simulation, chord and scale control, and custom pattern loading. Additionally, the Strumulator strumming system allows easy 1-key strums based on 12 different chords using multi-samples.

The FX rack offers a range of effects including Chorus, Flanger, Phaser, Dynamics, Drive, amp sims, EQ, Filter, tempo-synched Delay, and convolution Reverb with dozens of custom room and FX impulses.
