• On a real Swarmandal all notes are sustained - which can sound a bit cacophonous.
  On ours you can select (while playing sequences) to sustain:
  Only harmony notes / Harmony notes + characteristic notes of raag / All notes
  (the non-sustained notes are damped)
  In raag Jog either of the first two settings support the feeling of the raag: sustaining Shuddhe Ga in upward sequences, and Komal Ga in downward sequences.
  
  
• Number keys options:
  Play and 'record' Tanpura / Play Swarmandal / Play Reed
  
  Playing notes with number keys:
  (1=Sa...5=Pa...7=Ni...8=high Sa...0=high Ga)
  holding Ctrl plays non-shuddhe note when it exists in the raag
  holding Shift plays note an octave lower
  holding Alt plays note an octave higher
  
  If 'recording' a tanpura sequence, press Enter to repeat what you've played so far in a cycle, or Backspace to delete it and start again.
