"Samvada creates sympathetic strings that resonate when you sing or play into the microphone. Ideal for practising and performing Indian music. Samvada tunefully accompanies you in any scale or raga you choose. Like the taraf (sympathetic) strings of a sitar, only the notes you play in tune will ring out - helping you improve your ear and providing a harmonious accompaniment.

A number of presets come with Samvada, or you can make and share your own. The thirteen strings can be fine-tuned to the notes of a recording, or you can tune them to what sounds best to you or your teacher. The default presets are based on tunings from maestro recordings, plus some additional settings for Western-style scale tunings.

Samvada is also useful for:

• Tuning stringed instruments
• Helping with making and tuning instruments - e.g. flutes
• Providing a pleasant sonic mask for background sounds and voices
• Playing, like a swar mandal or harp
• Using as an Aeolian harp, in windy conditions

Samvada can be used at the same time as a drone recording, or other apps designed for music, such as the excellent iTabla Pro app by Prasad Upasani.

For a similar effect as a plug-in for desktop and laptop machines, try DroneBox by Oli Larkin (New version coming September 2012).

Samvada is a Sanskrit word meaning harmonious dialogue or communication. The word relates to the musical concept of samvadi, and the instrument the samvadini.

"This tutorial looks at using the Sine Bank Module in Reaktor to build basic waves such as Saw, Sqr, and Tri. We also talk about using the very powerful "Iteration" module to calculate all the partials as fast as possible, and briefly discuss the idea of Anti-Aliased Oscillators."

"Various sound sources in this one. Got field recordings of trains and cars and some samples from a religious tape running on the 4-track cassette. Drums from the MPC and Vermona DRM-1. The sub-bass is a 606 kick pitched down and compressed on the MPC. Got some bird sounds I recorded in the forest looping on the MPC too. Juno-106 doing the chords of course. The monotribe is filtering some noise from the 4-track for a nice pumping effect. Recorded to cassette on a Nakamichi LX-5."

Werkbench 2.0 is here!

Published on Mar 12, 2013

"Available now in the app store.

We also have a simpler phone version if you don't have an iPad.

More details on the Werkbench site:
http://www.bolasol.com/werkbench"

"Werkbench 2.0.0 has arrived for the iPad and there are some significant new features and improvements:

::Sampling::

Everyone has been waiting for Audiobus support. Ta-daa!

There is a new file player / importer that supports Audio Paste and iTunes sharing (.wav). You can sample directly from the player as if it were an input.

Overdub option to layer incoming samples.

::Flexible Sequencer::

You can now chain sequences and set pattern lengths on the fly for each side independently. Sequences can be anywhere from 1 - 128 steps long in total!

Copy patterns to other slots by dragging.

::Dub Echo::

We revised the echo. It sounds sweet. You have control over feedback and mix separately. Safe to say that it is now a full-on magic dub weapon.

::Step Editing::

Echo send for each step so you can keep your bass drums dry. Expect more step editing options in future 2.x updates!

Hope everyone enjoys playing with it as much as we have."
