Pitch trainer
Sing and watch your voice move across the swaras. Hold each target in the green, and your pitch gets truer every day.
Nothing is recorded and no sound leaves your device.
How to practise with it
Set your Sa to a comfortable note, turn on the drone and press Start singing. Your voice draws a line across the lanes: Sa is the bright line, and the shuddha swaras are labelled up the side. Sing a long Sa first and watch how straight you can keep the line.
Then choose a target. The target lane turns green, and so does your line when you are close enough. Hold the note for three seconds to count it; with "move up the scale" on, the target then climbs to the next swara, so a full round takes you from Sa to Ni and back to Sa. Start on Easy and tighten to Strict as your voice settles.
Choosing your Sa
Pick a Sa you can sing softly without strain, with room above and below it. Many men find theirs between C3 and E3 and many women between G3 and C4, but your own voice decides. The same Sa is shared with the harmonium and tanpura.
A note on intonation
Swaras here are placed at equal-tempered positions, the same as a harmonium. In raga music some swaras sit a little higher or lower, so a few cents off is not always wrong. Use the target as a steady reference, not a rule.
The microphone is used only while listening is on. Each tiny slice of sound is analysed on your device and thrown away: nothing is recorded or sent anywhere.
