Free Sitar Instrument

SampleScience releases Sitar Renaissance   05-Sep-22

SampleScience says that Sitar Renaissance is a virtual instrument based on a damaged plucked sitar recording that has been restored. They say that a combination of audio engineering techniques has been used to make these sitar samples great: spectral repair, adaptative noise removal, and manual retuning.
