| Category | Sample Types | Notable Highlights | |----------|--------------|--------------------| | | 30+ drum hits & loops: tabla, dholak, mridangam, kanjira, ghungroo (the metallic ankle‑bells), and hybrid electronic percs | • The ghungroo foot‑bell samples are recorded with a high‑end condenser and a room mic , giving both the crisp “clink” and the natural ambience. • The tabla loops are tempo‑swingable (120‑150 BPM) with isolated “theka” patterns. | | Melodic Instruments | 25+ phrases & one‑shot notes: sitar, sarod, bansuri flute, harmonium, veena, santoor, and a few synthesized pads inspired by Indian ragas | • The sitar “meend” glides are smooth and low‑noise , perfect for melodic hooks. • Bansuri phrases are expressive , with breathy tail‑ends that sit nicely under synth pads. | | Vocals & Textures | 12 vocal chops, 5 “chant” loops, ambient drones, field recordings from Indian markets and temples | • The vocal chops are pitch‑corrected but retain natural timbre, useful for modern trap or lo‑fi beats. • Ambient market ambience adds an authentic cultural backdrop without being intrusive. | | FX & Stutters | 18 FX hits: risers, sweeps, glitches, reverse cymbals, “candle‑flicker” noise, and a few glitch‑ghungroo stutter variations | • The glitch‑ghungroo effect is a standout— it takes the classic ankle‑bell sound, slices it, and re‑assembles it rhythmically, great for EDM‑style drops. | | MIDI & Preset Files | 6 MIDI loops (tabla, dholak, synth pad) + 4 Kontakt/Serum presets (Indian‑flavored synth textures) | • MIDI loops are quantized but editable , allowing you to drag them into any DAW and re‑arrange. • Presets are designed for Kontakt 6+ and Serum ; they include layered samples of a sitar+pad hybrid. |
