sound keeps stopping each time the sample finishes.
Also, I'd like to know where the Shruti Box Files archive unpacks the
samples to - I can't find them.

It is here
c:\windows\system32\shruti box files
I also find that it does not loop smoothly. Needs editing with little
fade out in the wav files of shurti box.

You can try the 22 Sruti Keyboard version 2.0
It has a Tanpura as well -

together a quickfix that's worked so well for me I don't feel the need
to clutter up my comp with more software.
There are plenty of tanpura clips available on the net, not a
difficult task to download one and then scale it to the pitch you
want, using a sound editor. Audacity works pretty well for this. As it
does for the next step, which is to play the clip as a loop. I've
found Audacity's looping feature entirely satisfactory, no time gap at
all between one iteration and the next.
In fact, its looping is good enough to play tabla clips on. I've done
that too, and entirely successfully. To play the tabla and tanpura
clips together, you need to crop the tanpura clip to exactly the same
length as the tabla clip, then import them both into an Audacity
project, Sounds complicated, but not so difficult.
The problem with this arrangement is that it doesn't lend itself to
adjustments. When changing the scale, for example, you'll have to
first edit the tanpura clip, then using the same process scale the
tabla clip in tune with the tanpura. On the plus side, you get a
reliable system running on a pretty robust software (the present
versions of Audacity seem pretty stable). In other words, once you
overcome the hassles, you get a pretty trouble-free setup.

Then described his beautiful solution based on General Issue stuff.
Couple of questions, Abhikda. Tell me if the nits are too trivial. I
am asking on-group because I assume the discussion is of interest to
r.m.i.c
1. Changing the pitch of tanpura: In your experience, how far can one
go without loss of realism? The latest electronic dabba I saw uses
two samples - for male and female pitches. The jump between the two
(around safed char, I think) is very noticeable.
2. cropping tanpura to tabla length: Doesn't it produce a jump in the
playing rhythm of the tanpura? What do you do about it?
Thanks in advance,
DG

Correction, _not_ beautiful_, _not_ elegant,_not_ graceful but it
works.
> 1. Changing the pitch of tanpura: In your experience, how far can one go without loss of realism?
Both reasonably far and not very far, depending how you look at it. If
you start with a clip in C (male) and then bump it up to say G#, it's
not going to sound like the same tanpura, there's no two ways to it.
At the same time, it will still sound like _a_ tanpura.
Let's face it, for a quick-and-(very)-dirty hotfix job, that's all we
can hope for. I have in fact fabricated such clips for some women I
know, and they have been perfectly satisfied practising with them.
> 2. cropping tanpura to tabla length: Doesn't it produce a jump in the playing rhythm of the tanpura?
What you need to do is ensure there's little difference in amplitude
between the start-point and end-point. This way, if you use software
that loops well, the jump's not so noticeable. Further, the nature of
the scheme is such that the jump will coincide with the sam, which
disguises it still further.

Hi friends,
I am a silent spectator in this forum since long. I am very much
blessed with the discussions . Really I have learned so much.
Why don't you use RiyazStudio? It is an excellent software. you can
tune the tanpura as per your wish. It is having all the basic Taals
also. You can adjust the Matras also. For doing Riyaz I use this
software. It is excellent and serving my purpose.
Abhik Majumdar
Several reasons.
One, you need to pay for it. Nothing like getting something for free,
which is what my homemade schemes are all about :P
Two, getting hold of a readymade solution - in two words, Bo Ring!
Three (more serious now), do the tanpuras and all loop well?
Four (most serious), do they have a version for Linux? I don't want to
sound snooty, but even though I have a dual boot config (Vista/
Kubuntu) on my laptop, the very sight of Windows gets me bugged these
days. Entirely subjective idiosyncrasy, but I guess comfort levels
count for a good deal as far as both computing and riyaz aids go.

I have been using Riyaz Studio and yes you have to pay a bit. Regards
to you question about looping, it loops perfectly well, infact some
artists are now using it in concerts as well..that how good the sound
is. It also has a surpeti drone which you can add to the tanpura
drone, and makes the sound more fuller.
I've been running it on Ubuntu Linux, for over 6 months..( You'd need
wine (windows emulator) or crossover package) to do so, and it runs
great.
The tabla loops are real, and not synthesized with individual bols,
which gives the feeling of real tabla accompaniment. Also extremely
easy keyboard interface to change tempo etc on the fly. A worthy buy,
for the serious musician i'd say. For years I've tried a lot of
softwares fixes, looping my own creating tanpura sounds etc etc..and
been bored of it, and finally settled with this software. Of course
nothing really beats the real thing in sound quality!

Just want to add that RiyazStudio has a free trial version (from what
I remember it does not have any time or duration limitations) that
comes with basic tanpura drones and a few taals - most adequate for
riyaz purposes...

v2, about which you're discussing in this thread.. I'm so happy that
my software is being known at the places in the internet which I
myself don't know. I just started to do it as a time pass and it
worked.
I'm working on this software to make it sound better with more
options. Thanks for the support you all give me.
