It includes louder ensemble voices alongside gentler melodic timbres, so beginners can compare different roles. The application is designed as a learning aid and knowledge resource for Javanese gamelan. This approach suits personal study and classroom demonstrations alike. To begin, download E-Gamelan and browse the instrument list to start exploring.

E-Gamelan Features

Eleven playable instruments

• E-Gamelan includes Demung, Saron, and Peking.
• Kendhang variants are available: Ketipung, Gedhe, and Bars.
• Bonang Barung and Bonang Panerus are provided.
• Slenthem and Gender are included for melodic lines.
• Xylophone, Gong Kempul, and Kenong complete the set.

Pelog and Slendro scales

Many instruments offer both Pelog and Slendro scale options, so you can hear how patterns change between these tunings. Xylophone uses Slendro. This setup supports side by side comparison while you practice.

Soran and soft instrument classes

The library spans soran class voices like balungan and bonang, as well as soft class instruments such as gender and xylophone. You can focus on core melodic lines or supporting textures as needed.

Ongoing development

Updates are planned over time. Future releases may refine the experience or expand instrument coverage based on the developer’s roadmap.
