What's New in Shruti Laya

5.13

July 9, 2026

- Double-speed strokes are now possible. StrokeSpec.matraOffset changed from Int to Double, so a stroke can land between two matras (e.g. 24.5). adiCadence's beats 7–8 now play at double density (8 strokes instead of 4) as a worked example. - Cadence plays more often. The Mrudangam variation phrase length dropped from 8 avartanas to 2, so the cadence-into-sam now shows up every other avartana instead of every 8th. (Trade-off: the other two Adi variations — "Ornamented fingers" and "Ta dhin dhin na" — no longer get a turn, since the only non-base slot is now always claimed by the cadence.) Rhythm count-in (new feature) - Pressing Rhythm Play now always plays a 4-click count-in before the avartana starts — and always starts fresh at sam, never mid-cycle from wherever a quick pause/resume left off. - The LCD (both the small always-on display and the full-screen Performance LCD) shows 4 dots during the count-in instead of a confusing "beat 1": one dot disappears per click, and a "GET READY" label appears in bright yellow. - The count-in uses the non-clap tick sound, so it doesn't get confused with the actual clap on sam. - Under the hood, several correctness passes: the dots now track the same audio clock the clicks are scheduled on (so they can never drift out of sync), and a stale-engine-anchor bug that occasionally made the avartana restart at a random beat after a stop/start is fixed.
