This is a sample library project we've been wanting to complete for some time and I believe we have something really special here for you! This instrument has a distinct and unique voice. Now that it is available as a virtual instrument I have no doubt that it's musical effectiveness can be greatly expanded beyond of solely creating a groovy 60s vibe.
3 independent sample sources were recorded - neck and bridge pickup samples as well as microphone samples. I had this guitar rewired so I could use a stereo jack and record the neck and bridge pickups simultaneously. The mic samples really make this sample library unique. They give this instrument a very animated top end with the result being a bit of a acoustic-electric hybrid, giving us a closer emulation of a real sitar. This sampling process coupled with creative and flexible KSP scripting by Bo Clausen will give you many creative opportunities

Looks interesting Full Kontakt 4 or later required

    I had decided, some time ago, that I had enough sample libraries. I had just purchased Special Edition Volume One from VSL, and I'm working through it, learning the quirks. So certainly I have zero need for another library right now.
     
    And yet I've listened to the demos, watched the walk-through, and my finger is hovering over the "buy" button.
     
    I should just get it over with! Very cool library of a very cool instrument!

    The demos sound great and Bolder produce some quality products. I am just wondering how much I would use it? It's obviously useful for more than that groovy late 60's vibe, but it could end up sounding a bit "Austin Powers" if you arn't careful.
