A nice harmonium, with sweet tones, tuned either in tempered or harmonic scale. The two keyboards enable you to reach different octaves at a time.
Harmonium will enable you to play different styles of harmonium, perfectly in tune.
If you're interested to play indian music (karnatac or hindusthani), this is the perfect "travel" harmonium you need. Tune your harmonium such as the great singer masters where doing, in the indian harmonic scale. You select harmonic scale, and the base note. That's it.
If you prefer to play western music, religious music, then tune the harmonium to the common tempered scale. You'll have a big church harmonium in your pocket!
Our harmonium can do automatic transposition. You can play in any key with the same keyboard position. You just need to select the note to play on the C key of the keyboard.
Harmonium contains two sound flavours :
- Traditional Harmonium, with deep sound of original reeds
- Modern flute organ, simpler, heavenly
Each sound flavour has a simple set of reeds, or double (with octave).
The harmonium can be tuned between A 380 Hz and 470 Hz.
An option enables harmonium to play while your iPhone / iPad is playing music. This is very convenient for training yourself to accompagny your prefered artists! Play karaoke with your harmonium!
For getting the best sound from this instrument, it is advised to use a good headphone or a pair of speakers with loudspeaker.
We should distinguish Harmonium from Shruti (or sruti). Actually, the harmonium is a melody instrument and is usually used to follow the melody played by the soloist (sitar, bansuri, vocal, tabla, ...). The Shruti is only used to play continuously a set of notes (drone) for create the musical atmosphere.
I'm glad to see a harmonium app, and I'll agree with the previous reviewer about hoping for a slightly more authentic tone. I'm am however pleasantly pleased with the developer's prompt response to a question I had about the unfortunately buggy nature of the app I downloaded. So techinically I guess I'm giving 4 stars for the developer's apparent interest in making this app better in the hope that there are some decent improvements with future updates. One thing I would like to see, unless I'm confusing a harmonium with a different instrument (such as a pump organ) is some way to control the bellows. If I am mistaken about the way a real harmonium works, then just ignore that last sentance- I'd prefer to not be one of those reviewers that for example suggest an app marketed as being for organ sounds include stringed instrument sounds, rather I'd just like to see this app turn out as decent as possible.
Not worth more than 99 cents

Not that good. I agree with other reviewers about unimpressive sound quality/timbre, and sluggishness. It does not really sound like a harmonium. The organ mode sounds better. The user interface can be simplified and improved.
App stopped working

I liked the app first. It worked for few minutes and then it just stopped playing. I restarted the iPad and also tried to reinstall. Also made sure that the multitouch gesture is on, but still it does not work. Please suggest.
I like this kind of small instruments... and what a sound

iPhone is really a good thing... we can put so many interesting music software in it.This one has a good sound! I also like the harmonic tuning, it's not so easy to find.
