String Studio — Sitar sample pack

Procedurally-rendered sample pack for the MAESTRO String Studio instrument. Generated by backend/scripts/render_and_upload_stringstudio_samples.py.

License: CC0-1.0 (no third-party recordings — pure DSP synthesis).

Render details

Sample rate: 48 kHz, mono, 24-bit PCM WAV
Pack version: 3
Render duration: 2.5 s per zone
Algorithm: extended Karplus-Strong (raw string voice — body resonance is intentionally NOT baked in; the runtime BodyResonator provides body coloration for both sampled and physical-model voices uniformly). Includes fractional-delay Lagrange interpolation, first-order dispersion all-pass, one-pole loop damping, pluck-position comb shaping, and per-pluck pitch jitter.

Manifest schema

See manifest.json. Loader contract is documented in src/audio/stringstudio/samples/SampleManifest.ts in the MAESTRO repo.

Mirror policy

Re-renders are reproducible (deterministic per-zone seeds) — re-running the script produces byte-identical samples.
