Re: Sitar Sounds out of a Guitar

[Kevin Cheli-Colando <kevin@minds-eye.org>]

Well, I have an effects patch that sounds 'sort of' like a sitar when
played with low intensity.  I'll look at the specs later tonight (its on a
Korg AX300G).  Caveat  it sounds like a sitar like 12 string emulation
sounds like a real 12 string (which is to say, not quite).  However, in a
pinch you might be able to use it effectively to good effect.

Let me know if you'd like to see it and I'll get the settings.
