About
iShala is an Indian music software that combines
a tabla machine, a lehra player and an
electronic tanpura/swarmandal. It provides
rhythmic and melodic accompaniment for music
practice or just to jam along virtual
musicians. Featured instruments are Tabla,
Harmonium, Swarmandal and Tanpura. You can
select to play one or all of them, and they will
automatically synchronize together.

Swar Shala 4
We are very excited to announce the release of
the latest version of our Indian music software.
SwarShala 4 has been redevelopped from scratch in
pure C so as to run natively on both Mac and
Windows platforms, without any 3rd party
component required. We have also totally upgraded
the sound quality, by using our acclaimed
SwarPlug synth for all virtual instruments in the
background. The Practice pane has been completely
redesigned to offer perfectly tailored and fully
customizable rehearsal sessions with a whole
choice of rhythmic and melodic instruments. And
finally, we have embedded the whole Swar Studio
Digital Audio Workstation in the Tracks panel of
Compose section, to allow you create the most
intricate songs using all these amazing
instruments. Now the most complete Indian music
software has become even better. Let your
creativity flow with SwarShala 4!

SwarPlug 4 Audio Engine
With the amazing power of the SwarPlug 4 sampler
behind it, and functionality like cross-legato
portamento, vibrato, modulations and so on,
SwarShala is now able to offer a quality of sound
never experienced before. Moreover, you are no
longer limited to legacy SwarShala instruments,
but can enjoy the vibrancy of all newly released
ML (multi-layered) sample packs!

Bye Java! Bye Flash!
SwarShala 4 was completely rewritten in pure C,
abandoning technologies that were either
becoming deprecated or required additional
libraries to be installed. This makes the
installation of SwarShala 4 a very easy process,
both on Windows as on Mac OS X.

Practice In Good Company
Honing your musical skills is even easier with
SwarShala 4. Its Practice pane has been fully
enhanced to provide a perfect environment for
Riyaaz. Just select the rhythmic and/or melodic
instrument you want, the best tanpuras out of 10
different choices, select raga, pitch, tempo,
acceleration and so on. Then just practice... All
sessions can be saved under a specific name to
make them easily

Ragas and Shrutis
Raga means "Colour" or "Passion". In Indian
Classical music, they are the melodic scales
based on the seven notes and provide the
foundation for a musical composition. SwarShala
4 now includes a specific Raga view that lets
you see and customize a large set of built-in
Ragas, or add the ones you miss. Each raga can
be fine-tuned to the micro-tonal (Shruti) level.
9
Share Detailed PDFs
You can now generate detailed PDFs of your
rhythms and melodies, describing each
stroke/note played to the detail. These documents
can then be printed or shared freely.
10
Full Undo/Redo
All actions in the software can now be undone
(and then redone) up to any level. This ensures
you can play around with the software and return
to a safe version when you make mistakes.
11
Fractional Sequences
Though uncommon, rhythmic cycles with a
fractional number of beats are a very exciting
part of the Indian classical music. SwarShala 4
now allows you to create sequences with any
number of beats, including fractions.

Translations To Come
All captions/texts in SwarShala 4 have been
externalized to simplify translations. You can
expect a Hindi version of the sofware real soon,
with more to be added.
13
Extendable Help File
The user guide in SwarShala 4 has now been ported
to a Wiki platform. This makes it a browser and
system independent interface with the capability
of being edited and updated periodically to
reflect all the changes in the software without
a major overhaul.
