### 4/5 — tanpura

*2021-01-14*

fine

### 2/5 — Not terrible but could be better.

*2020-11-21*

There is a significant difference in the recorded volume of the different Tanpura patterns. Pretty sloppy if you ask me as this could have easily been fixed before being released. A few good features too and the layout in nice and clean. 

Also it would be nice if there was a brief fade in and out when playing and stopping the tanpura instead of a hard start and stop which would be awkward and off putting during a performance. 

I’ll keep looking for a better one.
