Versatile Shruti Box for Carnatic Music
Shrutisangamam: Shruti Box is an innovative multimedia application tailored for Carnatic music enthusiasts. This free Android app provides a valuable resource for both practice and live performance by generating a variety of drone sounds. Users can select their desired base Shruti (pitch) from a range of 1 to 7, covering pitches from C3 to B3. Additionally, it allows for the selection of specific Swaras (notes) such as Sa, Pa, and Ma, enhancing the customization of the musical experience.
The app includes a fine-tuning feature for adjusting the base Shruti, making it particularly useful for wind instruments with fixed pitches. It also incorporates an amplitude oscillation feature that simulates the traditional Shruti Box sound. For the best audio quality, it is recommended to use an external speaker. While the app is compatible with older Android versions, performance may vary based on device specifications due to the computational nature of the generated tones.
