how does the tanpura work?

[isntlifedaft]

@jaytotheell The tanpura is just the drone instrument in the background that provides a counterpoint to the melody. I am using a virtual tanpura here which plays on a loop.

What instrument makes that buzzing sound in the background?

[isntlifedaft]

@GyldneAaB It's a tambura. An Indian drone instrument used to acompany the solo instruments such as sitar.

nice background =)

[bqureshi390]

for synthesized sitar, this is quite remarkable. i mean nothing matches the true sound of sitar, but i haven't heard a better keyboard rendition than this.

@bqureshi390

Indubitably, it sounds as if it is being plucked
