Silk

Silk by EastWest Sounds is a deeply sampled virtual instrument collection that brings the rare and expressive sounds of the Silk Road into your DAW.

With extensive articulations, legato scripting, round-robin sampling, and authentic phrases, Silk delivers smooth, lifelike performances that feel natural and emotive. The OPUS engine provides convolution reverb, scripting control, and a revolutionary micro-tuning system that helps you use these sounds authentically. Ideal for film composers, world music producers, and hobbyists looking to add cultural depth to their tracks, Silk offers 25 GB of multi-samples and performances. It suits anyone seeking expressive, realistic ethnic instruments for cinematic or global-inspired music.
