Soundiron Acoustic & Electric Saz Bundle

Soundiron 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.

Soundiron 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.

They also captured palm mutes, string chokes, releases, and tons of percussive effects.

Soundiron 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.

An intelligent auto-strumming system is also included.

There are special patches for creating custom-tuned percussion blends, effects, Uberpeggiator and of course ambiance.

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-synced delay, and convolution Reverb with dozens of custom room and FX impulses.

Kontakt Format

These libraries are designed for the full retail version of Native Instruments Kontakt, version 5.1.3 or later.

These libraries are designed for the full retail version of Native Instruments Kontakt version 5.1.3 or later. Kontakt is an industry-standard advanced virtual instrument software platform. They provide a wide range of sound shaping parameter controls, each one totally automation-ready in your host environment or Kontakt's stand-alone mode.

These are standard Kontakt open-format libraries, so the free Kontakt Player does not fully support them and can only run them 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 these open-format Kontakt libraries, but you can use the standard File browser tab, or import these libraries into the Kontakt database and Quickload tools for easy navigation, loading and organization.
