- Double-speed strokes are now possible. StrokeSpec.matraOffset changed from Int to Double, so a stroke can land between two matras (e.g. 24.5). adiCadence's beats 7–8 now play at double density (8 strokes instead of 4) as a worked example. - Cadence plays more often. The Mrudangam variation phrase length dropped from 8 avartanas to 2, so the cadence-into-sam now shows up every other avartana instead of every 8th. (Trade-off: the other two Adi variations — "Ornamented fingers" and "Ta dhin dhin na" — no longer get a turn, since the only non-base slot is now always claimed by the cadence.) Rhythm count-in (new feature) - Pressing Rhythm Play now always plays a 4-click count-in before the avartana starts — and always starts fresh at sam, never mid-cycle from wherever a quick pause/resume left off. - The LCD (both the small always-on display and the full-screen Performance LCD) shows 4 dots during the count-in instead of a confusing "beat 1": one dot disappears per click, and a "GET READY" label appears in bright yellow. - The count-in uses the non-clap tick sound, so it doesn't get confused with the actual clap on sam. - Under the hood, several correctness passes: the dots now track the same audio clock the clicks are scheduled on (so they can never drift out of sync), and a stale-engine-anchor bug that occasionally made the avartana restart at a random beat after a stop/start is fixed.

Few enhancements.

Minor improvements

- Lock screen and Control Center now show play/pause controls for the drone. - The Tuner now exits cleanly if you switch away or lock the screen, so playback returns to normal automatically. - Refreshed app icon.

New in 5.0 — Built-in Tuner Tune your voice or instrument to the same Sa your tanpura is playing, without leaving the app. • Tap "Tuner" above the display to start. It listens through the microphone and shows the detected swara plus a sharp/flat cents bar right inside the LCD. • It tunes against your currently selected tonic, so what you hear and what you tune to always match. • Works with or without headphones — with no headphones, the rhythm pauses and the tanpura drops to a soft reference level so the mic hears you, not the app. Also in this release: • Refreshed mrudangam stroke samples for a cleaner, more natural tone. • Stability and audio-engine fixes. • Pause and resume the drone right from the lock screen and Control Center.

What's New - Color themes — choose Saffron & Maroon (default), Indigo Night, Teal Sea, Rose & Plum, or Classic in Settings. Refreshed colors with better contrast in Dark Mode. - Landscape layout — a roomy two-column view: Tanpura and Rhythm on the left; tonic display, Volume, and playback on the right. - Now on iPad, and supports iOS 15 and later, so it runs on more devices. - Smooth fades — voices gently fade in and out when you start or stop them. Improvements - Set volumes before you play — adjust Tanpura, Mrudangam, and Manjira levels up front. - Keeps playing through the mic — the Tanpura no longer cuts out when another app uses the microphone (e.g., when you record yourself practicing). - Default tonic is now G. Fixes - Fixed a tuning issue where the drone could sound slightly flat after another app used audio. - Playback now recovers automatically after interruptions (calls, Siri, alarms); unplugging headphones pauses instead of blasting through the speaker.
