Nice app! How did you source the sounds? Are there permissively licensed tabla and santoor samples somewhere?
I used the VST version, however they have samples available as well.
Very cool. I play the tabla, and perhaps a tabla variant of this would be useful. For this, I imagine, we will need - Tabla sounds for both bayan and dayan - Better handling of taal and timing. Initially double or quadruple time but later polyrhythmic structure. Tabla would also benefit from annotations, say for labeling the tihai, etc.
The plugin is here: https://github.com/mrniket/palta-obsidian-plugin. If you want to see it in use, here is my notebook: https://niket.london

Indeed! I've been building a digital tabla notebook for Bhatkhande notation. I've made it as a plugin for Obsidian currently. You can write any text as bols as it's just plain text.

This is neat! Where do you type in the bols ? In Obsidian, using plain text?
Yes, via code blocks. So once you install the plugin, you can type something like:
```palta
taal: teental
---
DhiGe Dhina TiriKit Dhina
DhaGe NaDhi GeDhi NaNa
TiKe Tina TiriKit Tina
DhaGe NaDhi GeDhi NaNa
```
DhiGe Dhina TiriKit Dhina
DhaGe NaDhi GeDhi NaNa
TiKe Tina TiriKit Tina
DhaGe NaDhi GeDhi NaNa

Thanks :) Yes, via code blocks. So once you install the plugin, you can type something like: ```palta taal: teental --- DhiGe Dhina TiriKit Dhina DhaGe NaDhi GeDhi NaNa TiKe Tina TiriKit Tina DhaGe NaDhi GeDhi NaNa ``` and it will render it in the correct format. It uses a web component behind it, so if you wanted to use it directly to render the above, it would be: DhiGe Dhina TiriKit Dhina DhaGe NaDhi GeDhi NaNa Ti…

I would not use a written down version over a memorized version because it misses all the nuances of the piece. But a playable tool for Tabla would be useful for learning, for instance, polyrhythmic practice. As someone who started learning Tabla (and music) in my 30s, I don't even have the neurons in my brain for that kind of stuff. Just listening and playing along will be a huge aid in the absence of a live teacher…
Could you share an audio/video or written example of this? If I understood correctly, you'd like the composition to be played first in 1x speed, and later in 2x or other speed (multiple times) so that it lands on the Sam .
Yes, that is correct. But doubling the speed is kind of trivial.
I need to think about this a bit more to see what's useful. I see that you have linked your github, so if you don't mind I will use that to contact you.
