This is a simple demo that shows the instruments being played in a more authentic context. The goal here was to provide an accurate, realistic performance.
Sitar Nation has very realistic samples, but when you delve into the FX patches it can pull off some very deep, ambient sounds. This demo is an example of a film-style cue written entirely with this library.
Dark, tense underscore created entirely using Sitar Nation sounds (primarily FX patches.)
A wide range of patches from our library (non-FX) used in the context of an electronic, ‘psychedelic’ composition written for a video game.
Another example of Sitar Nation being used within a groovy electronic composition. This track shows off how both the traditional and FX patches can be combined to form a totally new texture.
Sitar Nation has been one of our most successful libraries, having redefined the standard for not only Indian instrument samples, but any kind of world instrument. Now, you can download a free version of Sitar Nation to try out and use in your compositions!

Sitar Main Patch - The primary plucked articulation of the sitar, limited only in key range. Velocities and round robins are all there! Sitar Releases - A patch intended to be loaded on to the same channel as the Sitar Main Patch. Adds release noises at random to add realism to your performance. Tampura Main Patch - Just one note of the full tampura main patch, which is a long drone. Tabla and Baya - In the full library, these patches are separated and can be loaded together or one at a time as desired. This demo patch combines two strokes from both the tabla and the baya on to one MIDI channel to help accompany your performances!
"This is the best sitar library on the market. It’s not only exceptionally authentic and expertly edited, but it’s extremely versatile. ISW has taken the time to give us not only traditional sitar patches, but also some really cool processed patches that build a bridge between organic and synthetic tones. I’ll definitely be using this library in future compositions. 5/5 stars!"
Jimmy Hinson, Composer, Mass Effect 2
