Free Sitar Instrument

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.

A spokesperson told us, "This is a unique instrument that has a sound of its own, is easy to use, and will cut through your mixes."

Features of the plugin version:

•     1 multi-sampled instrument
•     1 sample per note
