Create and playback Carnatic Percussion sequences with ease with My TalaVadyam! My TalaVadyam uses real, natural sounds of the Mridangam and offers a precise kala pramānam (tempo) for an unparalleled new musical experience!

"My TalaVadyam" is the latest app from Upbeat Labs. With a library of 15 sounds and 16 common phrases (and growing) for the Mridangam, and the ability to easily create as many common phrases as you like, "My TalaVadyam" offers a platform to create, playback, share and enjoy Carnatic percussion sequences on the Mridangam!

Play it in "Live" mode to create your own impromptu Tala Vadya Kutcheri.

"REC" mode enables you to easily create or transcribe sequences, lesson plans or your own masterpiece Tani Avartanam that you can play back later.

Use the newly introduced "Play" view to playback existing sequences at a tempo of your choice. You can tune the right and left heads separately for the perfect pitch for accompaniment, and also control each side's volume independently for the perfect thoppi/kaaranai emphasis of your preference. The sequences get played back using the Tala you specify, and the Tala/Sequence Visualizer shows the Talam with either the Tala Count, or the Mridangam phrase or "sollu" . You can also choose playback at Vilamba, Madhyama or Druta Kalas.

Easily share your creations with your friends and with the "My TalaVadyam" community and play sequences from creations that have been shared by your friends and other users!
