var fDesc=new Array(); fDesc[0] = "RiyazStudio combines tanpura, tabla and lehra machines in a responsive and easy-to-use computer based (Windows and now IntelMac and Linux via a Windows "virtual machine") practice environment for North Indian classical music.

RiyazStudio simply replays real tabla performances (now with Pakhawaj and Lehra too) in contrast to mechanical sounding software or tabla machines that set individual tabla bols at rigidly set intervals. Fine tune the tabla and tanpura exactly to your preferred pitch. Select different tabla styles - or switch automatically between them in our Semi-Classical version. Adjust the tempo on-the-fly by tapping the B (for beat) key.

RiyazStudio Lehra
At last! A musical accompaniment to your Tabla and Kathak practice.

'Bell on Sum', Metronome and Tambourine options offer additional rhythmic support (all versions).
Practising with RiyazStudio is the ideal preparation to performing with live tabla accompaniment - first because it gives the aural cues that real tabla players provide - but even more because the organic feel of the tabla loops encourages rhythmic play and helps develop your improvisational skills."; function tShowHide(id, show) { var s = document.getElementById("desc"); if ((s.innerHTML.length<=212 || show==1) && show!=2) { s.innerHTML = fDesc[id]; if (document.getElementById('m1')) document.getElementById('m1').style.display='none'; if (document.getElementById('m2')) document.getElementById('m2').style.display='none'; if (document.getElementById('more_txt')) document.getElementById('more_txt').style.display='inline'; } else { s.innerHTML = ''; } }
