Ratings and reviews

Overall a very good lehra app. My feedback: Lacking the feature for semi-tonal adjustment of the lehra. In vilambit laya: Some lehras, such as jogkauns, are not rhythmically precise, it is rushing just before the sam.. which is a shame, because it sounds good. Harmonium sounds dissonant and not pleasant like the other instruments.

Overall a very good nagma app. The good : The Alaaps for both Harmonium and Sarangi are well executed, which sets the mood for one's practice. The Matra beat feature is also very useful, as it is a convention with many live performers to start with beat thirteen. Speed transitions are for the most part fluid. What can be improved: generally, but especially for the Harmonium Lehra, there is far too much reverb. Other taals such as Matta Taal and Pancham Sawari could be added. A solid nagma app.

Awesome modular app to play Tanpura and or Lehra separately or together. Any Key, major rhythm cycles (not all), any tempo, 4-5 ragas and three instruments to choose from (strange, harmonium and sitar). Lehra plays great at slow and fast speeds. Tabla accompaniment available with Lehra (but not without lehra or alone). My main suggestions are too include Dadra best cycle and allow for solo tabla accompaniment (in case one wants to combine tabla and tanpura without Lehra or tabla alone).
