The Electric Sitar Black Friday deal from Ueberschall comes to 30% off, so this world sample pack costs $44.80 until Nov 29, 2026.
Electric Sitar is a loop library built around a Danelectro Sitar. The maker describes the sound as exotic, with a nod to the instrument's Indian origins and a more contemporary edge in its electric form.
It holds 2.6 GB of sample data and over 1600 loops and phrases, sorted into four main folders.
The sitar folder is the centrepiece. It holds 445 phrases played on the Danelectro Sitar, sorted into 10 folders by tempo and key.
Original tempos run from 78 to 128 BPM, and you can change them inside Elastik. Every phrase comes as an Amp version and a DI version, so you can add your own reverb or delay at the mixing stage.
The percussion folder has 17 sub-folders of loops recorded live by four musicians in a rehearsal session. The takes are not quantized, so the rhythm stays loose and organic.
The percussion palette covers tablas, congas, bongos, frame drums, cymbals and tambourines, and a separate folder of electronic drum loops provides some contrast.
The Electric Bass folder has over 70 loops that follow the same key and tempo layout as the sitar. Each one comes in Amp and DI versions.
The Live Session Kits folder is another set of live rehearsal recordings, this time with tonal instruments such as acoustic guitar, flute and sitar. Its folder structure mirrors the sitar loops, so blending them is straightforward. Ueberschall says the material also works without the electric sitar as a basis for meditative New Age projects.
Ueberschall points to psychedelic rock, film scoring and a 60s homage as the core uses. It also lists House, Hip Hop and Techno as styles where the sitar can cross over.
The maker calls the pack a complement to its 60s Psychedelic Rock and 60s Acid Rock 1 & 2 libraries. It adds that the sitar's character can give any project a world music flavour.
The library comes with the Elastik loop player. It offers time-stretching, pitch-shifting and polyphonic scale syncing to fit loops to your project.
Resample, formant, reverse and a multimode filter are there for sound design. A tag-based browser searches across all installed Elastik libraries.
For the Elastik player, the recommended systems are macOS 10.12 or higher and Windows 8 or higher. The Ueberschall Downloader needs an internet connection and the same OS versions.
The players credited on the library are Kai Reuter (electric sitar), Ananta (sitar), Marc Figge (percussion and flute), Omid Bahadori (percussion and acoustic guitar), Jörn Räuber (tamura) and Michael Meyer (acoustic guitar).
