Indian music practice (riyaaz)
Description (

iShala is an Indian music mobile app that provides flawless accompaniment for classical music practice, be it vocal, instrumental or rhythmic. It comes in 2 Editions: Standard and Pro (previously known as Premium). It features: • 6 Tanpuras (10 on Pro Edition) • 2 Tablas (3 on Pro Edition) • a Swarmandal • a Vibraphone (Pro Edition only) • a Harmonium • 3 Manjeeras (6 on Pro Edition) all fully customisable in practice sessions that can then be loaded on demand. It effectively replaces a tabla machine, a lehra player and an electronic tanpura. It is therefore an ideal tool for anyone practicing Indian classical music, or just wishing to jam along virtual Indian musicians on any other musical style. iShala includes over 60 rhythmic cycles, melodies in more than 110 ragas and 7 different tempos. You can also create your own ragas and fine-tune each of their notes at micro-tones (or shrutis) level. Possible combinations are thus nothing short of endless! iShala initially comes in Standard Edition, but you can upgrade it to Pro Edition through an In-App purchase option. These are one-time payments; whatever the edition you choose, you can use the app forever. Standard Edition has all the features you need for your riyaaz, and more. But Pro Edition adds some really exciting functionality like: • pitch correction: iShala detects the note you are currently singing, along with a coloured meter highlighting whether you are right on pitch or not. This is a precious tool to improve your accuracy. • additional instruments: 4 tanpuras, a low pitch tabla, a vibraphone and 3 manjeeras • manual playing of all instruments: tabla, harmonium, tanpura, swarmandal, vibraphone and manjeera • NEW: plug a MIDI keyboard (USB/Bluetooth) and play any of these instruments through it! • record your own loops • record your practice session: adjust mic/music level, then press REC, sing, press STOP and the audio recording file will be generated for you to listen and share • pull items from the Cloud: download rhythmic and/or melodic cycles posted from SwarShala users directly on your device For more detailed info on features per edition, check the following topic: https://www.swarclassical.com/guides/ishala/topic.php?product=is&id=18 ---- Some sweet words from our users: "Best tanpura app. Concert like.

Namaste sir🙏🏻kindly please restart swarplug app for ios iPhone as it’s very much required for us in the production of our Indian music sir which is only available in the Swar System community sir, so my humble request is to kindly restart these DAW applications like Swarplug & many others in the iOS iPhone version sir as many of us couldn’t afford for PC or Mac Book sir, this is my heartfelt gentle request for the Swar Systems’ authority sir, hope you will surely consider this request sir🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

There is major problem in this application. I open this app and close after use but when I start my Kia seltos car the app automatically starts in car player with Bluetooth and I can’t control my player and can’t picking up and talking via car player. I talked with Kia company they asked me its app’s problem or iPhone problem. Also I talked with iPhone service manager they asked me it’s third party app and it’s their problem. Please resolve this problem immediately.

Tanpura sound is not that great like itablapro app & the tabla sound is not clear. Detail is missing on tabla’s sound.

1. Bol of taals are not what my guru taught so more options should be added which are common bol for a taal. Example : teental bols - Dha dhin dhin dha, dha dhin dhin dha, na tin tin ta, tete dhin dhin dha. 2. No option to write the notes for alankar etc in harmonium other than recording option. There should be an option to create alankar or any melody including the taal/beats selecting specific notes (dragging the notes or writing) without recording which then can be listened in harmonium voice along with any taal and also saved for future. I thought this feature was there in Pro version and that’s why I bought that but disappointed now. 3. There should be a user guide also included in the app. For example : explanation for spacing option in tanpura and other features. 4. I don’t see play option for already recorded sounds. Also no edit option for recorded to match with beats. There should be an option to play your own recordings in the main menu along with other taals/sargam etc with bols/notes so that I can see how it’s playing. I paid for pro version but not happy as nothing much compared to standard version. I hope your team will include these features and take feedback from customers to improve the app. Thanks
