Carnatic Piano

Unlock the math and beauty of South Indian classical music!

Carnatic Piano is an interactive synthesizer and educational tool designed to help you visually master the 72 Melakarta Ragas. By mapping complex Carnatic theory directly onto a familiar Western piano interface, learning becomes intuitive, fast, and fun.

Key Features:
• Visual Raga Patterns: Learn the 6 core geometric shapes of the Purvanga and Uttaranga. Watch them light up the keys to guide your fingers!
• Dynamic Swara Labels: As you change the Raga, the piano keys dynamically update to display the correct Carnatic Sthanas (R1, G2, D3, etc.), bridging the gap between Western and Indian notations.
• A/B Practice Loops: Seamlessly loop the first and second halves of any scale to train your ear to hear the subtle mood shifts between the 12 Chakras.
• Dual Studio Tones: Play along with high-fidelity, studio-sampled Steinway Grand Piano sounds. Instantly toggle between bright (Hard) and mellow (Soft) acoustic tones.
• Pinch-to-Zoom Keyboard: Use standard multi-touch gestures to resize the piano keys to perfectly fit your screen and your hands.
• Raga Insights: Explore historical and cultural facts about popular Melakarta scales as you play.

Turn your screen time into a music class. Whether you are a student exploring the basics of Mayamalavagowla or an advanced learner studying the differences in Rishabham variants, Carnatic Piano is your perfect pocket companion.
