    Thanks for your thoughts and the examples Paule.

    Prof Clark's work is really remarkable- especially in the realm of physical modelling (isn't he the director of applied physics at UBC?)
    His is by far the most accurate model of this very complex instrument.
    What we are struggling with is:

    1. The sitar is a difficult instrument to learn to play
    2. The scales are pretty strange-especially trying to learn them on a guitar.

    The appeal of the guitar effect approach is that it seems a bit more intuitive to play melodies in more familiar scales (we were hoping to get a mixolydian minor out of the thing).

    Not abandoning this approach- but the Kashmir Sitar VST doesn't even come close.

    Cheers,

    -Tommy

    Tommy, I don't play any musical instrument. Take a midi file were recognized from audio to midi and drive sehktar with UR. I re-discovered UR in Chet's Serenade phys-mod for a good violin.
    If you listen to my music tracks you met the sound of mod Serenade. The function Gesture got an add slow random module.

    Try it like a Sitar player. A metal ring made from solid wire around the forefinger of the right hand is your plectrum. Grip of left hand on the strings have to pull. You can see it in the vids.

    May it helps to set in front of Sehktar one of the Microtune Pseudo Blocks?

    Instrument is create by freeko. I've convert some scales and create others with Tarsos. I don't know a mac converter - so there is an upload of 4683 TUN (text format) https://www.mediafire.com/folder/bdlfsv2h123js/maps#n894z2uzfewil

    Here are 8 Microtune ‚Blocks‘. One is a tester. Full filled with snapshots.
    I got the permission by freeko to use his instrument for my scales.

    Thanks for all your helpful suggestions Paule.

    Ended up with a mix of clean guitar and Ubertoner controlled via MIDI.

    Way fun to play! Have a listen:



    Peace,

    -Tommy

    If you own The Mouth by Tim Shaw Exile can add some vowels to your singing/ droning guitar. Than you get a new ins/ sound

    Plucktrion has 12 voices. So you can set some in Unison mode and spread the pitches.

    The comments are the used snapshots. Here is a mp3 demo with tablaTorium mod by Don Dailey. And a re-change the sample to Rick's tabla..
    Sehktar goes clean in mix; Plucktrion is followed by the Mouth.
