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.
