Naada

Naada by MNTRA Instruments is a playable instrument that brings the resonances of Indian classical music into your DAW. Built around the Sanskrit concept of sound as a connective force, it draws on recordings of South Indian nadaswaram, North Indian sarangi and sarod, tanpuras, shruti box, kanjira and pakhawaj. The standout is the Anahata, a custom Indian cello with 23 sympathetic strings, captured in evolving performances that shift spatial position and expression on every note. Presets based on the 22 shruti system offer authentic Raga intonation, while ambient field recordings from South India add texture. It suits producers seeking evocative, cinematic or world-music colours for ambient, film, electronic and fusion tracks. Ideal for FL Studio, Ableton or Logic users who want organic, expressive tones beyond standard sample libraries.
