Karunattu

The only Carnatic music app with real-time pitch detection across all 22 Indian microtones (śrutis), an authentic 11-instrument synth engine calibrated against historical recordings, and a full studio for composing your own kritis. WHAT EVERY USER GETS (FREE) • Tune — pick your Sa and start the tampura drone in any of 23 semitones. The drone follows you across every screen. • Learn — 72 melakarta rāgas with audio examples: hear the ārōhaṇa/avarōhaṇa, see the swaras on a 22-śruti grid, and learn how parent rāgas relate to their derivative janya rāgas. • Ask the Guru — plain-language answers about rāgas, tālas, gamakas and śrutis, sourced from Karunattu's own verified library and always naming the source. No generative AI. • Practice — Sarali varisai and free instrument practice (veena, violin, mridangam) with real-time cents feedback on every swara. Carnatic-aware, not 12-TET. • Compose — the Compose Studio arranges your own phrases: choose a rāga, a tāla, an instrument; generate; export to MIDI. • Track — practice streaks, XP, and the Riyāz Journal. KARUNATTU PLUS — FOR THE SERIOUS STUDENT • Voice Coach — sing any 8 notes; get 29-doṣa feedback (Sangeet Parijat voice analysis) tuned to your voice's natural temperament. • Doṣa Coach — live pitch accuracy, vibrato, nasality, breathiness, and phrase-shape fault detection while you sing freely. • Advanced Tuner — live cents feedback anchored to your saved Sa. • Curriculum — varnams, geethams, and the Eleven Krithis with step-by-step lesson plans. • Self-Review and Svara Lane — record, compare, and watch your pitch live. KARUNATTU PRO — FOR THE PRODUCER • Studio — chain ālāpana → kriti → niraval → kalpana svara → tani → tillāna → maṅgaḷam. • Pallavi RTP Builder, Film Composer (score to picture, MIDI export), Broadcast Master (−14 LUFS streaming target), Rāga Builder with lakṣaṇa validation, and a 175-form Tāla Builder. • Plus everything in Plus.
