It has a very limited range but holds a distinctive timbre to the sound. With Tumni-Tronik they’ve highlighted the handful of usual notes in the interface and then filled it in to be more useful in a western context. They’ve also pushed the range out to C0 all the way up to C4 to take it beyond what the traditional instrument is capable of.

Each key has 8 round robin samples to offer up the sort of variation you’d experience when playing the instrument. Along with strikes and plucks you can also get the pull-off sound when releasing the note. Bollywood Sounds aimed to offer as many articulations and variations as possible.

The plug-in comes with 35 presets and gives you control over envelope and some reverb for added depth.

Tumbi-Tronik is available for MacOS and Windows in VST or AU format for $59. More information on the Bollywood Sounds website or check out the video below.
