If you're looking for a comprehensive, exhaustively sampled selection of Indian instruments, this one's for you.
Indian Traditions features 28 different instruments - and these are then divided up into Melodic and Percussive folders.
Percussive samples are provided as single hits and loops in both WAV and REX formats. These cover traditional Indian instruments such as the dholak, ghatam, tabla and udakai.
On the Melodic side of things we're treated to sounds from the bulbul tarang, ravanhatta, sitar, tutari and veena. This vast collection is truly fantastic.
