## iTanpura Lite Description
Got tanpura? Well guess what, we have two for you, PLUS a Sur-Peti / Shruti box! Come listen to the beautiful, meditative sound of real Hemraj tanpuras, and get lost in the mysteries of Indian Classical music.
________________________________________

◆ Also check out iTablaPro which 
◆ includes ALL iTanpura features + tabla

NOTE: iTanpura Lite has most the features of the full version except the sound stops playing after 60 seconds, and it does not include the Swar Mandal or the Tuner.
________________________________________

◆ THE TANPURA ◆
The Tanpura is a musical instrument used in Indian classical music to provide a background "drone" against which the rest of the music is performed. It is a 4-stringed instrument with a base made from cured pumpkin gourd and a stem made from wood.
________________________________________

◆ AND NOW PRESENTING ◆
iTanpura Lite is an electronic Tanpura for the iPhone and iPod Touch. It uses stereo digital sound to simulate a set of two tanpuras each of which can be tuned with a different string combination. It uses sounds sampled from real Hemraj tanpuras to provide beautiful yet realistic sound in a pleasing design. The sound quality has to be heard to be believed!
________________________________________

◆ FEATURES ◆
√ Includes two 5-string tanpuras with independent pan and volume controls, plus a Sur-Peti / Shruti Box
√ Uses sounds sampled from actual male & female tanpuras for realistic tanpura sound throughout the pitch range
√ Adjust pitch by name (C#, G, etc.) using pitch up/down buttons
√ Wide range of pitch from lower A (A2) through upper E (E4) for one and a half octaves of tuning
√ Suitable for vocal or instrumental music
√ Fine-tune pitch in cents. The display shows the fine-tune value to allow exact recreation of any pitch
√ Tempo Control: use the pitch/tempo switch to change the function of the slider in the top section
√ Play one or two simultaneous tanpuras both controlled by the master pitch controls
√ Each tanpura's first string can be tuned to Pa, Ma or Ni, or any custom note such as Re, Ga, Dha, etc 
√ Or tune first string to any shruti in the octave using a slider
√ Each tanpura has its own pan and volume controls to allow precise placement within the stereo image. For example you can have a tanpura with Pa on your left and one with Ni on your right
√ PRESETS: Save your frequently-used combinations as named presets. Includes presets for the 100+ most popular raags. 
√ Turn the Sur-Peti/Shruti Box on or off and adjust its volume from the settings page
√ Can be used with speakers, headset, or the internal speaker (a high-quality speaker dock is recommended for maximum effect)

Still using your old electronic tanpura or shruti box? The future of the tanpura is here!
