Users can experiment with these samples by playing them individually or throwing them together in a curated ensemble. You’re sure to find new inspiration for your musical creations through the sophisticated rhythms, intriguing time signatures, and mystifying melodic structures that define the Indian musical tradition. Native Instruments India packs in 16 NKIs, including one ensemble, nine percussion instruments, and six melodic instruments. Plus, with 177 snapshots and 96 scales, you’re well set for vast choices and easy recall of your favorite sounds. You’ll find this virtual instrument straightforward and capable of deep customization through its modern interface. India makes it easy to keep in the middle of your creative flow thanks to the built-in mixer and effects sections that allow you to tweak the instruments and space in the mix. Lastly, controls for Groove, Feel, and Intensity provide for instantaneous change to depth, rhythmic precision, and dynamics.

From rhythms to melodic instruments
The Spotlight Collection: India will open up a new world to your creative endeavors. For instance, try your hand at the rhythmic cycles, otherwise known as “tala,” via the onboard groove player. These cycles sound superb with any instrument in India, but you can also drag-and-drop the MIDI files for use with any software instrument in your modern productions! Furthermore, you can map scales, otherwise known as “ragas,” to your MIDI keyboard and adjust them to taste from there. When it comes to augmenting your tracks with new inspiration or historic musical tradition, Sweetwater recommends Native Instrument’s Spotlight Collection: India.
