The shruti box is a small instrument with reeds, used to play a drone in music. Imagine an harmonium or accordeon without any buttons.

You just select a set of notes, and the shruti will play them together continuously. The main purpose is to create a musical atmosphere to sustain the solist with its voice or musical instrument.

The Shruti box is usually used in karnatak or hindustani music in India.

You can create different musical atmosphere with the three different sound flavours of our Shruti box:
- Traditional Harmonium sound, with deep sound of original reeds
- Light shruti sound, which provides a clearer sound
- Modern flute organ, simpler, heavenly

If youre interested to play indian music (karnatac or hindusthani), this is the perfect "travel" shruti box you need. Tune your shruti in the indian harmonic scale. You select harmonic scale, and the base note. Thats it.

If you prefer to play western music and you need a tempered chord, then tune the shruti to the common tempered scale.

Our shruti box can do automatic transposition. You can configure it in any key with the same keyboard position. You just need to select the note to play on the C key of the keyboard.

You can play up to 4 notes together (with or without octaves). It will produce a sound of high quality, much better than all the electronic devices you can buy for playing shruti.

For getting the best sound from this instrument, it is advised to use a good headphone or a pair of speakers with loudspeaker.

A quand le tampura?

No real Shrutibox sound

I really did not expect a wonder, so my deception was not that big when I heard the electronically pitched sounds of this app: Absolutely no comparison to the original! Nonetheless a nice gimmick to play with...

OK but

There are several different sounds. The timbre on all of them is good. However, the attack and decay are very abrupt. i.e. the sound very sharply turns on and off. It would sound nicer and more like a real instrument if the sound had a smoother rise and fall when each note begins and ends. Also, I could not play it quickly and smoothly - perhaps this is a trouble with with the iphone? I only bought my iphone one week ago.

Waste of money...

Sound is ugly, not enought options, waste of money...

Finally, a real sounding shruti

I bought the other Shruti when I first got my iPhone. It was basically a tone generator, with no reedy sound. This version is much better, and has many options for tuning and tone. I just bought their Harmonium as well, and am hoping they do a Tanpura, and Tabla to complete my Indian instrument collection.

outstanding!

After getting a glimpse of Vidya Multimedias applications with iTabla, I have been eagerly awaiting their next iTunes product. Shruti box is first rate. Very very good sound and like iTabla, very tweakable. Other than an ability to save presets, I can think of little to improve it.

Almost there

I think this app, as well as the developers harmonium app, have potential but arent quite there yet. I think this app seems a bit more stable (in a 1s & 0s programming sense) than my experience with the harmonium, but as I said in that review Im partially rating this higher than the current version may deserve simply because I got the impression that the apps creator is genuinely working on making the app better. One thing I think this app could really use is some type of bellows feature (like the other shruti app has) not only for the sake of authenticity, but also because of the pulsating sounds possible with the bellows. So I suppose this app isnt quite where the competition is yet, but it seems to have a good starting point.
