What it is
Voices of India - Sitar Play is a deeply sampled, playable Kontakt instrument built around a traditional North Indian sitar. Rather than a straight acoustic recreation, the samples have been processed through modulation, time-based, and spectral effects (chorus, flanger, reverb, delay, EQ, filtering) to produce psychedelic, ambient textures alongside the raw traditional tone.
Who it's for
Composers scoring film, TV, and games who need authentic or texturally reimagined Indian string sounds, plus producers building cinematic or ambient tracks who want a playable sitar beyond loop-based sample packs.
Key features
- Fully playable sitar sampled with traditional Vilayat Khan and Ravi Shankar tuning conventions
- Deep sound-design processing layers Kontakt-native effects onto the raw performances for unique ambient textures
- Works with the full Kontakt 5.5 version or Kontakt Player 7
- Includes sympathetic-string and drone-string articulations true to the instrument's traditional construction
