SrutiBox simulates an Indian harmonium, used as a base tone in Indian music and in spiritual practices of chanting and droning.

SrutiBox 1.4 now works under iOS8, iPhone 4,5,6, and 6+ sizes, has a slightly different look, and fixes a few bugs that you may have encountered.

SrutiBox is a synthesizer, creating drones with various timbres and precise intonations that blur the distinction between tones, timbres and chords. The drone can be fairly static or undergo slow modulation and harmonic change. It now plays in the background under iOS 4.0 like many other music apps!

Pop over to http://www.jhhl.net/iPhone/SrutiBox/ and listen to some examples!

"I wanted you to know that I have made my debut in Vienna a couple of weeks ago as an iPHONEist.
I played two simultaneously - one with sruti box and the other with a variety of apps.
I am enjoying sruti box immensely! Thank you!"
— Dr. Pauline Oliveros

I also have another Droning app, Droneo, which has a similar interface, but more droning options!

SrutiBox uses 12 "reeds" which can be tuned to a great number of scales, randomly detuned, and chorused and modulated. The pitch interval and volume of each "reed" can be set individually, making for a wide variety of drones. The reeds can be set to various timbres suitable for drones, including vocal-like timbres and low frequency-friendly chirps.

A special iPhone feature of SrutiBox is that you can wave the phone in an imitation of pumping the bellows, adding a touch of realism to the simulation.

SrutiBox can also be used as a pitch source for instrument tuning purposes, or as an aid for learning the difference between Just and Equal Tempered intervals.

As with other iPhone/iPod touch audio applications, itll sound better through headphones, although in a quiet room, its quite effective! Make sure to use the volume controls on the side of the phone to set the volume level you like.

Harmonium Indien !

Instrument étonnant et original qui intéressera les amateurs de sons ambiant et orientaux. On notera que pour les 4 styles différente la fréquence est ajustable, ainsi que la présence dune fonction random qui permet de briser la monotonie des bourdons (drones) si on le souhaite.

Inutilisable, très mauvais, à éviter

Deux choix, soit vous nutilisez que les sons sinusoïdaux purs, et alors vous obtenez un son horrible, insupportable au bout de quelques minutes (mais cest accordé). Soit vous utilisez les quelques outils fournis pour rendre le son plus doux, mais alors là, cest totalement inutilisable, tellement cest désaccordé. A éviter absolument si vous voulez faire de la musique ! Au fait, ce nest pas un harmonium comme certains le disent dans les avis avec beaucoup denthousiame...

vorab 5 sterne für den kosmos!

der hier angeboten wird - auch wenn ich erst auf Entdeckungsreise bin - denn das ist es. Und Spiel und Ernst. Und Einstieg in die Musiktheorie und zugleich Meditation. eine gute Kombination. Die Zahlen haben mich schon etwas abgeschreckt - aber jetzt machen sie mich neugierig. Wie gesagt: erst Einsteiger. Und Laie.

Excellent if you know what it is.

This is a great app for anyone serious about overtones and intonation.

Fantastic!

I love this simple to use drone device! Great sound! Highly recommended.

クオリティ高いです。

ハーモニクスが演奏できるアプリです。 凝った作りになっていて、和音も十分に楽しめるのでこれ一つでドローンが出来るし、単音や少しの和音でヒーリングミュージックにも使えます。 かなり気に入っています。

電子ハルモニウム?

インド、パキスタン地方の手押しオルガン、ハルモニウムをシミュレートしたアプリなのでしょうか? でも鍵盤は付いていなので、音階は弾けません。 いわゆる西洋的な12音ではない調律(しかも持続音のみ)を楽しむって感じでしょうか。 なかなか不思議で気持ちいい和音にも出会えますが、 一般の人にはなんじゃこれ!というアプリかも。 音源は、オルガンのリード音ではなく、サイン波みたいなサウンド??(詳しくないので…) なので、民族楽器的な響きじゃなく電子楽器のよう。 どう使えばもっと楽しめるのか、ただいま試行錯誤中…。 万人におすすめできるものではありませんが、個人的には気になるアプリ。 こういうアプリを頑張って作った人に敬意を表したいです!
