Great Sounds

I enjoy experimenting with different sounds and I put sounds and rhythms like these into my improvisational recordings.

Sequence Creation

Please explain how to create my own sequence and store it for future use.

For eg. GuGuNaNaKiTaThaKa ( ThomThomNamNamLeftThaDhiKiTa ). Can’t see anywhere that explains to create own sequence.

Can I upload text file with a sequence as well.

Response from developer

You can check out the following video that explains sequence creation - https://youtu.be/qSGPt3PiqhM It is for an older version of the app, but we’re in the process of creating another video of the latest version. 🙏 PS - you can create the sequence on one app and share that sequence with another person by exporting/importing.

please add choice of common srutis

At least C, D and G the default seems to be sharper than C# but flatter than D thank you

Response from developer

Thank you for the kind feedback and suggestions! 🙏 We’re happy to tell you that pitch change is now available along with a host of other features in version 4.0.0. You can independently adjust the pitch of the Kaaranai and also the bass of the Thoppi, like the real instrument. The pitch is fine-tunable from 1-7 kattai and everywhere in between.

Wow. Awesome App

I am learning mridangam and as a beginner this is a very useful app. My favorite feature is being able to create my own tunes and practice along with it. I request the feature to change the pitch such as G sharp or D

Response from developer

Thank you for the kind feedback and suggestions! 🙏 We’re happy to tell you that pitch change is now available along with a host of other features in version 4.0.0. You can independently adjust the pitch of the Kaaranai and also the bass of the Thoppi, like the real instrument. You can adjust from 1-7 Kattai (also selectable as Safed/Kali, Western Note, MIDI note or Frequency), with the ability to fine tune.

Please add tambura to it

I love this app already but without the tambura, it’s hard for my dance classes. Would totally pay way more than $2 if tambura in different scales is added,

Response from developer

We're glad you like it, and thank you very much for your suggestion! We will surely look into a tambura feature! In the meantime, please do check out and upgrade to the latest build (4.0.0) - it has some major updates - Fine-tunable left/right-side pitch, Tala/Sequence Visualizer, improved Sequence Editor and more!
