RiyazStudio combines freeware Tanpura with licenced Tabla (with a 30-day moneyback guarantee) in a compact and responsive practice suite for performers and students of North Indian Classical Music. Its the first software that actually sounds like a real tabla player - because it uses real recorded tabla loops, rather than mechanically placing tabla bols at regular intervals. A single pitch control - with key and fine adjustment - controls both Tanpura and Tabla. Tabla tempo is finely adjustable from vilambit (very slow) to ati drut (very fast) - and can even be set by tapping a key at the desired speed.
Practising with RiyazStudio is the ideal preparation to performing with live tabla - first because it gives the aural cues that real tabla players provide - but even more because the organic feel of the tabla loops encourages rhythmic play and helps develop your improvisational skills.
The tanpura plays standard Sa, SaPa, SaMa tunings - plus special tunings for raags Pooriya, Gujari Todi and Marwa
The tabla plays taals Teental, Ektal, Rupaktal, Jhaptal, Addhatal (Sitarkhani/Punjabi), Keherwa and Dadra - using samples recorded at speeds ranging from vilambit (slow) to ati drut (very fast) |
