👏👏👏💐

[@pannaruparel5953]

Sorry, I missed my name in my previous comment, just a minute ago. This is Panna Ruparel asked two questions re the set up on ITabla Pro.

[@abhijeet21251804]

Please explain in more detail what needs to be done to set up Tanpura 1 and Tanpura 2 so that riyaaz can be done in the right way. A lack of knowledge will cause problems with thorat.

[@pannaruparel5953]

Hello Urmiji, Is it possible to pay for ITablaPro once and play on both Android and iPad? His site has $24.99 and AppStore shows the same price but changes to $34.99, when proceed further. Any idea why this discrepancies? Panna

[@mihirdeshpande9334]

Unable To download

[@ramesherrabolu1590]

Thanks for the video. I didn't follow the slider below the Pitch/Scale and how to use it. Do you have a video on explaining that

[@UrmiMusic]

That is for fine tuning. If say the Tanpura has to be played with a Harmonium, which is not an exact match. Then this can be adjusted to bring them both to the same pitch.

[@arvindkotak1073]

AK your demo is excellent. How to use this itablapro for singing practice.

[@UrmiMusic]

Thank you! Find out your pitch, and play tabnpura at that pitch to do your sargams.

[@lisi9490]

Is there a resource somewhere that can suggest settings for a song that is already recorded that I can set as an accompaniment when I play my harmonium?

[@UrmiMusic]

I don't think so.

[@prakashgandhi1603]

To download ipro tabla which mobile or pad useful .Its only use for practice.pls guide.Thanks.

[@UrmiMusic]

It is available only on IOS devices. iPhone or iPad.

[@rajeshyagnambhat]

Urmi Ji … Namaskar🙏. A very well explained tutorial and is comprehensive ! I have been using it for over 5 years . Where is the follow up of this video ? Thanks

[@UrmiMusic]

Thanks. Here is the follow up: kzbin.info/www/bejne/e2jJeYxthKqLaZo

[@VV-lq4di]

The best explanation I have come across thank you. I wonder what the role of the two tampuras are. Why two needed? Also the settings are for pa and ni, not sa. What am I missing

[@UrmiMusic]

Thank you so much for your kind words. I suppose you are referring to the 5 string Tanpura settings in my video on Playing the Tanpura on iTablapro. It is only the 1st and 2 nd stings that are variable, which you set to Pa, Ma Ni etc. You will always get the Sa from the 3 rd, 4 th and 5 th string - which is fixed.

[@UrmiMusic]

If you are playing the Tanpura for ragas, if the raag has Pa in it, then typically the first tanpura is always tuned to Pa. If there is no Pa and there is Shuddha Ma, then tune it to Ma (example: Malkauns, Bageshri, etc.). If there is no Pa or Shuddha Ma, then tune it to Shuddha Ni (such as for Marwa, Sohni, etc.)

[@UrmiMusic]

When you have 2 tanpuras, you can tune them differently, and then you can pan each from a different speaker. That way you can hear the notes more distinctly.

[@VV-lq4di]

Urmi Battu Thank you for such a prompt reply. Highly appreciate it. I am viewing all your other videos and I think I understand your explanation. May God bless you and bring you continued success.

[@VV-lq4di]

Urmi Battu I now understand what you said after viewing your video one more time. Thank you very much.

[@pannaruparel5953]

Thank you Urmi. I have purchased the iTabla and watched your introductory vedio. I understand that as a beginner, I have to use Tabla & Tanpura. I have practised a little on Harmonium so I know my scale is Kali 4. Sometimes a little higher. However, I don’t know how to convert to A, B, C etc. First question Is it possible for you to guide me? Second question is What Taal is advisable to practice in the beginning?

[@UrmiMusic]

Hi Panna, Kaali 4 is G#. I have explained the conversions on my keynote video here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/h5a2nX2cbJeHpNE Taal would depend on what you are practicing. You can use the metronome to start.

[@cindystyle]

Great, thank you for sharing!!!

[@VV-lq4di]

You made a statement the other instruments are set to the pitch set by this itablopro. Not sure how that is possible.

[@UrmiMusic]

Each instrument has a tuning. When you set the pitch in the pitch selection area, they all get tuned to that pitch.

[@manjushrisharma5495]

I am new learner in singing kindly suggest me scale for practice the sargam

[@UrmiMusic]

Hi Manjushri, not sure. But for a female singer it’s usually between G and Bb ( which is A#). Most common female pitch is G#. Try, and let me know if you are comfortable.

[@basitalikazmi]

Hi madam. It was very informative. Is there any way I can get this app on Android?

[@UrmiMusic]

Thanks. Unfortunately this app is only for IOS devices.

[@drimaad]

Very nice Urmi ji . Do u also take classes on line

[@UrmiMusic]

Thank you. Yes, I do.

[@milindghirnikar5410]

Hi, my master button is not working so there is no sound. Can you help me in fixing it?

[@UrmiMusic]

Not sure. Could be a phone issue. What happens when you press it?

[@pannaruparel5953]

Hi Urmi, This is 1st time I have seen your tutorial for the iTabla Pro. It’s great to see someone like you educating similar interest people. I have a learnt only 2 ragas on Harmonium, means a very limited knowledge. Is this app user friendly, for the beginners like me? I am debating about purchasing it. What is the secure site to make a one time purchase?

[@UrmiMusic]

HI Panna, it's a great app, and definitely user-friendly. I recommend all my students to get this. Here is the link for purchase: apps.apple.com/us/app/itablapro/id337350026

[@pannaruparel5953]

Thank you so much Urmi, for the prompt reply and the guidance with the secure site purchase info. May god bless you.

[@dwarakapandurangi5580]

how do u find the list of ragas

[@UrmiMusic]

Dwaraka Pandurangi that’s in presets. Bottom bar, to the right of controls.

[@lunaakond]

It doesn’t play more than 1 minute. Is there anyway I can set for keep playing? Or if I buy the upgrade version, will it work? Many thanks for sharing this.

[@UrmiMusic]

You have the lite version, which is a sample and plays only for 1 minute. It will definitely work if you buy the upgrade.

[@lunaakond]

@@UrmiMusicThank you.

[@maheshpatilbarshisholapur.3895]

Nice video... please say pan option

[@UrmiMusic]

Pan is used for controlling distribution of sound in the left and right speakers/ channels.

[@baljeetsinghbhatti8293]

Can't find it in Android, can someone point me to right app in Android?

[@UrmiMusic]

You can try Sur Sadhak.

[@baljeetsinghbhatti8293]

@@UrmiMusic perfect, thank you

[@DivineBansuri]

Is this iTabla Pro 9.7 version ?

[@UrmiMusic]

Yes. Version 9.7.4

[@DivineBansuri]

@@UrmiMusic is it compatible with iphone 4s..because i m planning to take a 2nd hand 4s only to use this app..? So in specifications its written that v9.7 is compatible with 4s with iOS 6.1 and later..so shall i check the version of the iOS installed in the 2nd hand 4s before purchasing it...? 2ndly, * shall I have to purchase the full version * is there any demo version for test * whats the cost of full version in INR ?

[@UrmiMusic]

To answer your first question: You will be able to upgrade the ios, even if it has lower versions. As for free version- there is one version available for free, but that’s more like a sample. It stops after 1 minute of playing.

[@DivineBansuri]

@@UrmiMusic Ok thanks alot

[@UrmiMusic]

Not sure exactly how much it costs in Indian rupees. It's 24.99 in US dollars which is about 1,700 Indian rupees.

[@bhaibaljindersinghtapialev1686]

[@UrmiMusic]

The app will be there in your App Store. Download again, you will not have to pay.
