DESCRIPTION
Use UptoPlay to play online the game Dhwani Tanpura.
All musicians, professional or amateur, experts or beginners, need Tanpura or Shruti box for the practice and performance of Indian music.
Though sometimes people prefer Shruti box or electronic Tanpura for the ease of use and convenience, it is well known that there is no real substitute for the beautiful resonating sound of a real Tanpura.
At Dreamtones Inc., leveraging years of experience with music, signal processing and developing professional quality mobile applications, we have created with passion, this Dhwani Tanpura professional application.
The application has been designed and carefully tuned to accurately reproduce the sound of an original Tanpura instrument, including its beautiful tone, resonance and overtones. The professional instrument quality sounds of this application, simple but advanced customization options and professional level signal processing settings, sets this application apart from other such apps available today.
Scroll left or right to choose different pitch settings. In settings, use different Tanpura types (Mellow vs Deep), different pluck styles (Soft vs Medium), different middle notes (Pa, Ma, Ni 1, Ni 2). To fine tune, you can fine tune the pitch with a resolution of 10 cents, also independently fine tune the pitch for Pa / Ma / Ni. You can also change the tempo of string pluck and adjust the global volume or reduce the pa / ma / ni volume, relative to the global volume.
Default lets the app run in the background, so you start a recording app if required while this is playing in the background.
As of version 18.1,

Comments:
I have looked everywhere else. No other tanpura app comes close to what this app has to offer, and it's all for free. Whereas on the other apps not only there is a lack of tuning options, but most other tanpuras also sound really bad, and they charge you for it. This app even has an adjustment for just intonation which reduces the beating/fluctuations, it helps in completely merging your Sa with the sound of tanpura on equal intonation it's not possible. Thank you for saving us from being lost.
There are multiple bugs in the app. When tanpura octave is on female octave, whichever scale I set my tanpura to, if I go to settings or if I switch the app and return back to home screen again, the screen automatically slides and displays it C scale. The app crashes after almost 5-7 minute of screen lock.
Sounds really great and authentic! It does need some improvements though: 1. The pause button should stop tanpura slowly/gradually, not abruptly. While listening to this tanpura, one is in a different zone. Sudden stop doesn't feel good. Even basic Tanpura droid has this thing taken care. 2. The tempo should have option to be slowed down even further. The slowest tempo is not slow enough... neither for meditation nor vilambit laykari. 3. Middle note is missing Dha/ komal dha and other imp notes.
`Brilliant app, everything is perfectly in tune, despite what others say, save for a little annoying bug: when you pause, change tone and then start the sound again then the actual tone won't change. That is probably the reason for "out of tune" comments`,Great sounding. I encourage use of this app! Can also record running with other apps in background also! Add to any creative mixes! HOT IDEAS!!! Or just run for room or meditation atmospheric noise. Instead of white noise machines for privacy buffer!!'
