Above all,
Enjoy experimenting and creating!
Above all, enjoy experimenting and creating! While My TalaVadyam will never come close to the magnificence of real Carnatic instruments, it offers a new paradigm in Carnatic Percussion by allowing you to create any Mohra/Korvai/Sequence of your choice and playing it back (and not just pre-recorded loops). It allows you to unleash your creativity and productivity if you already play the instrument or are familiar with Carnatic percussion, and will allow you to enjoy it even if you don't .
Enjoy ad-supported "My TalaVadyam" for free. If you like what you see, in-app purchases will get you additional features for a nominal fee. Or get the "Pro" in-app purchase - this one time purchase will get you all features, present and future! In-App purchases now feature Family Sharing!
