SwarPlug

I stumbled upon this app last week and because of the stellar reviews I tried it out. I concur with the other reviews — this app is fantastic. The samples are all high quality and each instrument comes with patterns and loops. Of course you can also play any of the instruments with a MIDI keyboard. The tabla voice that comes with the app is the best tabla I’ve heard on the iPad. After listening to samples of the other instruments available I went ahead and bought the all instruments pack — well worth it. If you have any interest in Indian music — particularly percussion — you need this app! The developers are also very courteous and helpful.

Firstly I have to say that the sounds are great, and I love the way that instruments can be added with one purchase at a time. Most of the Indian instruments on the App Store are overpriced garbage, and this is the ONLY one I have ever found where it seems like effort went in to sampling the instruments. However, I do think there is room for improvement, with (in my opinion) two important features are missing. The first is a pitch bend control for the built in keyboard, and the second is background audio. Pitch bend is essential for instruments like the sitar, and I have run into problems with connecting control surface apps due to background audio not being present. Overall a great app, and a big thank you to the developer.

If you are looking for highly authentic Indian instrument multi-samples, this is it. Huge variety; expensive if you buy them all, but quality is quite good, not cheesy like most. Sequencer is a bit baffling though.

I bought the Sitar sound and am playing through the GeoShred app. The Sitar sounds are reproduced so well, it is so awesome. I love this. Thank you, Thank you, Thank you.

After update recently it is giving very bad sound delay and distorted harmonium . Panic level bar is too high once keys are hit . Please fix the issue .
