Sitar (for Signed, Sealed, Delivered, of course...)
Posted: 29 Oct 2011, 18:16
Attached is my first attempt at creating a sampled instrument. Since I do a lot of Motown show-band work, having a sitar is important (for one very important song). I use this as a layer with piano for Signed, Sealed Delivered. I control the volume of the Sitar (aka the synth section) with the controller (aka volume) pedal, and just bring it up on the intro sections (playing the piano & sitar together, which works great to my ears).
This is not a particularly well-crafted sampled instrument, but it does what I need. It was made from just a single wav file that I found online. It appears that Sample Editor automatically picked loop points (which are quite audible). Can I edit these? For this particular instrument I don't much care; the song I use this on does not require sustained sitar notes - I just need the attack and brief "sproing" sound
With the above caveats, I find this quite usable.
Cheers,
John
