Easy to use portable Shruti Box!
Im using this app with my iPod Touch 4g and a small battery powered bluetooth speaker. The sound is excellent! It compares quite favorably with a real wood shruti box. We use this app in our Celtic music duo with harp, hammered dulcimer, flute, bouzouki, fiddle, and concertina.
You can easily configure a very pleasing drone sound with a tonic and the 5th above - - - or even add a third, if you wish.
There a 5 different voices: shruti box, vocal choir, harmonium, button accordion, and organ. The sounds are rich and slightly wavering, just like a real shruti box, so you dont get a robotic sine wave generator sound.
There is an option to have the sounds be an octave lower.
You can switch between a tempered scale and a harmonic scale. I give this app a 5 star rating.
