Tanpura App

by

  • ITablaPro is an electronic Tabla and Tanpura (universal) app for iPhone, iPod Touch and iPad, which supports all of the common taals used in Hindustani music. It is meant as a study tool or accompaniment for practicing. I’ve found it a wonderful means to practice harmonic concepts against a drone, rhythmic concepts on my bass by interacting.

Tanpura is a long-necked plucked string instrument found in various forms in Indian music; it does not play melody but rather supports and sustains the melody of another instrument or singer by providing a continuous harmonic bourdon or drone. It is not played in rhythm with the music, as the precise timing of plucking a cycle of four strings in a continuous loop is a determinant factor in the resultant sound.

Virtual Tanpura or Tambura, adjustable pitch/scale and speed, male and female variant, resonant samples with clear overtones. Tapura for riyaz or meditation. RiyazStudio combines tanpura, tabla and lehra machines in a responsive and easy-to-use computer based (Windows and IntelMacs, M1 Macs and Linux via a Windows 'virtual machine') practice environment for North Indian classical music. RiyazStudio simply replays real tabla performances (now with Pakhawaj and Lehra too) in contrast to mechanical.

Tanpura for Windows is the digital version of traditional Tanpura. This app has features to play Sa-Pa from lower A to middle B scales. You can easily change the key and adjust volume as required.

It has been developed as a universal app. So, it is available to download in the Windows Store in both PC and Windows Phone for free.
