Philtre Labs Bollywood Elements disc data
Each instrument has its own folder, containing a combination of licks, raga phrases, one-shots and FX.
The folder structure can be a little hard to navigate as each folder has different contents. One instrument only has a bunch of files in its folder, while the other has files three levels deep (i.e. Sarod -> Sarod Ragas -> Charukeshi -> Bandish). The licks folders are divided into BPM, and most files have the key in their names which is handy.
The sample library includes a total of over 1,000 unique performances, all recorded at 24bit/48KHz quality.
