What it is

Silk is a multi-sampled world instruments plugin from EastWest Sounds, part of their acclaimed Quantum Leap series. It covers 30+ ethnic instruments from Persia, China, and India - including the Duduk, Nay, Erhu, Pipa, Guzheng, Bansuri, and Sarod - each recorded by master musicians with meticulous attention to detail. Legato scripting, interval sampling, and round-robin alternate samples give every instrument a smooth, expressive character that lives up to the name.
