Electric Sitar

The deal

$29.99 at KVR Marketplace (down from $69.99). Deal runs through August 25, 2026.

What it is

Electric Sitar is a sample-based virtual instrument from RDGAudio built around detailed acoustic sitar recordings, captured with dual microphone positions - a main mic and a room/ambiance mic - for a natural, layered tone. It uses dynamic round-robin articulation and full velocity sensitivity so repeated notes don't sound mechanical, and it ships with a factory sound library that captures the instrument's characteristic buzzing resonance and sympathetic string drone.

Who it's for

Producers working in Indian classical fusion, world music, psychedelic rock, or lo-fi and boom-bap hip-hop who want an authentic sitar sound for texture, drones, or melodic hooks without recording a real player.
