The NaadSadhana home screen on iPhone: the Orchestra card with 27 instruments, Tuner and Karaoke; Workouts, Explore and Find My Pitch; Recordings, Songs and Playlists.

From the home screen, the Orchestra opens on its tuner. A voice sings the notes of raga Ahir Bhairav and the tuner follows each one, then the band joins in Teentaal at 175 beats per minute. The tabla fills grow, the sur tabla, ghungroo, shaker and tambourine join, a flourish runs into the sam, and the rhythm plays its ending, stopping on the last sam as the drones ring on.

Practice. Perform. Record. One App.

Whether you're warming up, performing on stage, or recording your next release, NaadSadhana listens, responds, and accompanies you in real time, on 27 instruments, in 10 world genres. Powered by award-winning Artistic Intelligence.

On iPad, from the home screen to Recordings and the take Indian Classical James Bond: it plays with all its tracks mixed together, shows its video, and is shared as a video, the export finishing at 100 percent.

It listens. It improvises. In real time. On 27 Instruments. The Orchestra on iPhone Duo: the tuner on Sa and a 16-beat Teentaal cycle, playing raga Yaman.
27 Instruments. Indian. Western. Latin. The instrument panels, from tanpura and swarmandal to tabla, cajon and drums.
Record with the orchestra. Mixed and mastered automatically. The mixer for a recording of Bella Ciao, with its master, microphone and instrument tracks.
413 Ragas & Scales. 127 Taals & Grooves. Indian Classical, Bollywood, Western & more. The raga list with Yaman selected, beside the Keherwa grooves.
Riyaaz that builds lasting skill. Guided workouts & practice streaks. The Workouts screen: note, ear, tuning and rhythm training, and a 280-day streak.
Play along with Smart Keys. 5 Octaves. MIDI. The on-screen keyboard on iPhone Duo, labelled in Western notes and in sargam.
Your song book. Raga, taal, tempo & lyrics saved per song. The Songs list, each song with its raga or scale, rhythm and tempo.
Smart song suggestions. Your concert playlist. Just tap. A song playing with its lyrics on screen, and the next songs in the Evening Concert playlist.
