The Danelectro company produced an electric sitar and gave John Lennon and George Harrison the
first two made. The instrument was designed by New York session musician Vinnie Bell. Their goal
was to make a guitar that sounded like a sitar made famous by on Beatles recordings, but in an
easily playable form. This instrument has been featured on a wide variety of music including the
60’s psychedelic era, progressive rock and jazz fusion.

3 independent sample sources were recorded from the Electric Sitar – neck and bridge pickup samples
as well as a microphone signal. The mic samples give this instrument a very animated high end with
the result being a bit of a acoustic-electric hybrid, giving us a closer emulation of a real sitar.
Extensive KSP scripting by Bo Clausen will give the user a wide ranging of tonal color.

Electric Sitar features:
- 3 velocity layers for all the sustain samples
- Independent Volume and Tone/EQ control of each sample source – bridge and neck pickups as well
as mic samples
- A very advanced scripted Pitch Bend and Vibrato control
- Detailed Articulation control to emulate slurs (hammer-ons and pull-offs)
- Sampled Slides – both ascending and descending in half, whole and one and a half steps
- Detailed KSP scripted control of Fretting Position on the neck of the guitar, including an Auto
Fret Selection feature
- A Key Switch Page where you can freely assign which key will trigger the various Key Switches
- 9 different effects – each with its own Preset menus, so you can save and recall all the various
parameters
