Ragasudha

RagaSudha - "la música raga india para todos"

RagaSudha will allow you to play hundreds of Carnatic and Hindustani ragas (Indian classical music) on several instruments without hitting a wrong note and with your eyes closed – come and experience its simplicity and brilliance. Leave, being faithful to the raga to the app!!! You just can’t make a mistake!!! And can now focus on the emotion of the raga.

You can then tease your brain with tala/ rhythm and tempo. Come and enjoy what has taken centuries to create. You no longer have to envy those who are innately talented.

Choose the raga and instrument you want to play and yes, begin playing like a pro, well almost. You can slide octaves, stress on notes, set number of beats and tempo and have a metronome accompany you. You can demo ragas, look up obscure ragas and compare them. You can also record and share on popular networking sites or gift the app to someone you know will like it better than you;

And now we present TalaSangati, for stand alone use or as integrated with RagaSudha. This new app, TalaSangati will accompany you faithfully and help you keep in line with the tala and tempo you have chosen. Its innovative hand gestures and metronome count for Karnatic talas and bol with metronome for Hindustani tals will ensure adherence to the avarthanam/ cycle, allow you to combine multiple cycles while you explore the raga you are playing to the fullest.

All 35 talas of the Suladi Sapta Tāla system are available as well as eleven Hindustani tals.

The apps are so simple that you don’t need a manual – and so we have not written one. You can show off too but do it quickly as you will soon have competition. Help us improve, write to us at RagaSudha101@gmail.com .

For those who are expert we welcome your critique and hope it will at least serve as a ready reckoner &/or a useful gadget to improvise on the go and we seek your indulgence while the others try to catch up.
