We came up with the idea for Sitar Nation in mid-2007, after noticing that
despite the growing popularity of ethnic instrument libraries, few products
sampled non-Western instruments with a level of depth expected from a modern
sample library. We spoke with numerous composers and producers who were
unhappy with the current offering of ethnic instrument samples which only
provided an “overview” of sounds and lacked the detail necessary to provide
realistic solo performances.
The sitar, tampura, tabla and baya were chosen for our library not only
because these instruments have remained a foundation of Indian classical
music for centuries, but also because they have even permeated Western
music since the 50s and 60s. Sitar Nation is the first library to capture
these instruments with a level of detail and realism normally reserved for
violins and pianos, allowing the composer to control and play these
beautiful sounds without relying on excessive programming.
