Yes ...here is a Thread about it with a demo track:
http://www.kvraudio.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=138209

It is nearly ready for release, and will be free to all ManyTone VST Customers (It will be in our FreeZone soon) or for sale for around $10. It will be available in ManyTone/Wusik/Dash instrument format and Soundfont to start.
Watch our Forum for announcement.

I Posted the same time as you wsaidah

I hope to release this within a week if all goes as planned.

I have yet to hear a free Sitar soundfont that will sound like this one. See my post above for more info and a demo mp3.

Hi
Yes those are real samples of each note and a few Drone Strums. The MP3 you hear was made with ManyStation playing the Sampleset. The cool thing about ManyStation and this is that you can layer the set in ManyStation and have the pitchbend mapped only to the notes. So what you hear is the left hand playing the mapped Drone Strums (which don't bend) and the right hand plays the notes which can be bent to sound quite real via the Pitchwheel and Mod wheel mappings in ManyStation.

In Soundfont or other single layer players, to do this you would have to load the Drones into one sampler and the notes into another. That way you could only bend the notes when needed.

Working on finishing this now for release.

Many,

Will we be able to do the pitch bend thingie that you talk about in wusikStation 2?

or would we need manystation?

Hey Dusted
Yes, the presets included will be for Version 2 or above ManyStation or WusikStation.

The Soundfont version will be the soundsets only, no presets, as different SF2 players all use different presets specific to them so it is impossible to create a generic preset bank.
Cheers
Paul
