◆ ABOUT THE TABLA & LEHRA ◆
The Tabla is a percussion instrument widely used in Indian Classical music both as a solo instrument and as an accompaniment to vocal or instrumental music. When played as a solo instrument, the tabla is accompanied (usually on the harmonium or sarangi) by a continuous cyclical musical phrase or riff called the "Lehra" or "Nagma" (ostinato in western music) that keeps track of the "aavartan" or rythmic cycle in the chosen "taal".

◆ AND NOW PRESENTING - iLehra ◆
iLehra was the first electronic Lehra / Nagma player for the iPhone and iPod Touch, and its now available on the iPad as well! It provides accurate as well as pleasing lehra accompaniment for a wide variety of taals and raags on the Harmonium, Santoor, Violin, or the Flute. Innovative features include tanpura auto-tuned to the chosen lehra/raag, presets, tap-tempo, metronome, and extremely intuitive controls.

Glitch

There is a glitch it suddenly starts playing an unwanted note in the background for sometime every now and then. Please rectify it. And also it would be great if you could add sarangi Lehera and also a feature that could allow the user to compose their own leheras. Thank you

As a Tabla performer as well as teacher I find the app a great help. A few good points are:
1. It is always reachable. ( compared to hardware based lehra units it is 1. Battery operated 2. Small 3. Easy to operate due to touch screen)
2. The tone is really sweet.
3. Gives a good verity of lehra.
4. Most of the taals are covered.
5. Tanpura is also also there. It is useful for tuning as well as to be used as drone.
Some useful features are metronome, tuner, timer etc.

The only thing I miss is my favourite lehras. This app does not provide the facility to compose new lehras. It is a great draw back in an app that is otherwise so meticulously and carefully designed.
I suggest that you should add composing feature to make it more complete.

This is still the lehra app with best design and very useful features.

But at this point we need to upgrade to add Sarangi lehra.

Sound quality is robotic

Very poor extraction of the sound. Not a single instrument sound natural. Please, improve the sound quality. Harmonium should sound like real harmonium .
