Shruti Laya
iOS Universel / Musique
Description
Shruti-Laya is a focused Carnatic-music practice companion. Three classical voices share a single, sample-accurate transport — so the drone never drifts from the rhythm and
your sruti stays locked from the first sam to the last.
Three voices
• Tanpura — tonic in raw Hz with selectable string-one pitch (Pa, Ma, Ni, or upper Sa) and adjustable pluck rate
• Mrudangam — tala-driven sollukattu played from real stroke samples, matched to your sruti
• Manjira — clap/wave-aware cymbal strokes on anga and beat boundaries
Talas, jaatis, and gatis
• Adi, Rupaka, Misra Chapu, Khanda Chapu, Tisra-jaati Triputa and more
• Independent jaati control: Tisra (3), Chatusra (4), Khanda (5), Misra (7), Sankeerna (9)
• Gati / nadai control for stroke density
• BPM or aksharas-per-minute, with phase-preserving tempo changes
Built for daily practice
• Mute and solo each voice from a single mixer
• Drone keeps playing when the screen locks
• Clean, distraction-free interface
• No accounts. No ads. No tracking.
Whether you're holding sruti through a long varisai, warming up before class, or drilling alankarams, Shruti-Laya gives you a steady, in-tune, in-time accompaniment in your
pocket.
Quoi de neuf dans la dernière version ?
What's New
- Color themes — choose Saffron & Maroon (default), Indigo Night, Teal Sea, Rose & Plum, or Classic in Settings. Refreshed colors
with better contrast in Dark Mode.
- Landscape layout — a roomy two-column view: Tanpura and Rhythm on the left; tonic display, Volume, and playback on the right.
- Now on iPad, and supports iOS 15 and later, so it runs on more devices.
- Smooth fades — voices gently fade in and out when you start or stop them.
Improvements
- Set volumes before you play — adjust Tanpura, Mrudangam, and Manjira levels up front.
- Keeps playing through the mic — the Tanpura no longer cuts out when another app uses the microphone (e.g., when you record
yourself practicing).
- Default tonic is now G.
Fixes
- Fixed a tuning issue where the drone could sound slightly flat after another app used audio.
- Playback now recovers automatically after interruptions (calls, Siri, alarms); unplugging headphones pauses instead of blasting
through the speaker.
