You'll experience full control over each string, including key range, string selection, hammer-ons, pull-offs, legato and pluck type, all with key-switch support. Our unrivaled live strumming and chord generation tools can handle any style of lead or rhythm playing you throw at it. Each control can be fully automated by midi and we've designed several preset types to accommodate a variety of personal work-flows and preferences. To put it simply, these libraries not only represent the most powerful ethnic stringed instrument libraries of their kind in the world - they deliver an unprecedented breakthrough in string instrument control solutions, flexibility and pure sound quality.

The Acoustic Saz is the instrument in its most natural form, with delicate and crisp tonality captured in an intimate dry space with a wide pair of Neumann large diaphragm mics and pristine preamps. With a rich, full-bodied resonance and gorgeous musical clarity, this instrument offers extraordinary musical potential with all of the quality and attention to detail that you expect from the Soundiron family.

The Electric Saz is a powerful leap forward in tone and flexibility, with a clean, smooth character captured through both single-coil a humbucker pick-ups. Modified with custom low-noise wiring and pick-up configurations, this instrument cuts through any mix with a dynamic virtuosic voice, whether you play it clean or punch it with our integrated multi-effects rack.

Each preset in both libraries includes our new Effects Rack control panel, featuring multi-effects (chorus, flanger, phaser), compression, drive and distortion, amp simulation, a variety of different speaker cabs, parametric EQ, tempo-synching delay and reverb, including 45 real-world spaces and 25 original FX impulses. These libraries are designed and optimized for Kontakt 5, but we do include special legacy presets for K4 users that preserve most of our advanced features and options. And while these are massive libraries, we've also included optimized and streamlined "Lite" presets with smaller resource requirements. These libraries are securely watermarked for each user and require the full retail version of Kontakt to run. They are not supported by the Kontakt Player.
