Hybrid Sarod and Sitar

We're excited to unveil Expansion Pack 11 (EP11) - a groundbreaking release that marks the debut of our new Hybrid instrument technology. In this pack we've taken the expressive beauty of Indian instruments like the Sarod and Sitar to a whole new level by blending the organic realism of high-quality sampled sounds (multi-layered, multi-mics, round-robin) with the dynamic flexibility of physical modeling (in collaboration with Naada Library).

This innovative fusion gives you the best of both worlds: the rich, authentic tone of real recordings and the responsive playability and control of modeled instruments.

EP11 not only captures every nuanced stroke and resonance but also allows for smoother articulations, unlimited pitch bendings, and more expressive performance possibilities — ushering in a new era of creative freedom for SwarPlug users.
