Welcome to Soundiron's Acoustic And Electric Saz Collection. We extensively multi-sampled a unique fretless acoustic-electric 5-string Saz Baglâma brought home from the streets of Turkey, where master craftsman have been building them by hand for centuries. This bundle includes the studio recorded acoustic library, as well as the electric library, recorded through custom pick-ups. 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 carefully 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.
