The SamsaraSitar plugin by Samsara Cycle Audio opens the door to the rich and deep world of Indian stringed instruments right in your digital audio workstation (DAW).

Developed by Samsara Cycle Audio, SamsaraSitar is a virtual instrument that simulates the sound of a sitar with amazing detail and flexibility. This VST plug-in for Windows (Win32) offers not just one sitar sound, but a whole arsenal of possibilities for fine-tuning and expressive playing.

Key features of SamsaraSitar:

  • Multiple parameters: Experiment with numerous parameters to customize the sound to suit your creative ideas, tones, and mood.

  • Built-in reverb: Add space, depth, and volume to your instrument’s sound with the built-in reverb effect.
