Layam - Carnatic Metronome
"Layam - Carnatic Metronome" App is a new concept which helps students to practice with Mridangam anywhere, anytime through this app with real Mridangam tones. This app sharpens the Rhythmic skills of every student when practiced in right way. Please watch our demo videos in YouTube for usage guidelines.
In Layam App, The Mridangam nadai will keep on flowing with the selected shruthi, nadai & Thalam in the required BPM. A student has to put thalam & can practice any song in any Shruthi, in any BPM in given thalams.
Though there are lot of varieties of Nadai in our Carnatic Rhythm, We have given the best nadais here to suit all type of compositions like varnam, Krithis, Thillanas & other devotional songs. We have researched a lot & took feedback from various artistes while choosing each nadais.
Here we have given commonly used thalas like Aadi Thalam, Mishrachapu thalam, Khanda Chapu thalam, Rupaka thalam & Aadi thalam Tishra Nadai. We have given both Madhyama kaala & Vilamba kaala Nadai to play with a song.
All the thalams has 2 Nadais from 70BPM -120BPM speeds. Whereas we have given 80 & 90 BPM only for Tishra nadai Aadi thalam, since this are the commonly used tempos in that particular thalam.
A student needs to select according to his/her requirement & taste. The practitioner has to start from edam as this app doesn't play any arudhi in between or in the ending. It plays just sarvalghu. So you can play or sing with a flow.
Mohra & Korvai:
We have given Mridangam Mohra Korvai for the benefit of music students. It is most essential for a singer or an instrumentalists to understand what a Mridangam artiste plays & how a Thani avarthanam ends in a concert. Most of the artistes will be in a dilemma, & doesn't know when to continue the song after thani avarthanam.
So we have put effort in this regard & given Mohra- Korvai in 4 common thalas. The ending of a korvai is indicated with the silence, which concludes with the ardhi. A listener has to understand that, they have to sing or play a song when a korvai ends .
* It has all Shruthis with good quality, so there is no necessity of external Shruthi box. Please decrease the Mridangam volume when you want to use only tamboora for your concerts or practice sessions.
This sharpens & give a good hold on rhythm of all students, which is most necessary to every Musician.
*Please Note: The beauty of real Mridangam playing for a song according to Manodharma is unparalleled & cannot be replaced by this app. This is just a tool to help music students for practice.
*Please download the app from play store to enjoy your practice session.
*Please Use quality earphones or Speakers for best sound quality.
* This App plays metronome only in 80 & 120 BPM in lite version.
Please upgrade to the paid version of this app which will be launching soon after GST registration. Thanks.

Great app. It would be better if you can make the count of the beat running while the mridangam plays. So that, singers and veena players can check in which beat they are in. And that will in turn become an habit of listening mridangam carefully while they perform. Thank you. 🙏🏻
It's really great but missing the basic metronome feature. I would like to see 8 dots or 16 dots or 32 dots pulse when I practice my jathis. If you add that I would totally subscribe
Excellent app, very much useful for students to get a good grip in laya part. If there is thala indication in counting it may be more helpful..
Good quality in sounding... but features are limited. Even no idea about premium quality. Pls mention what are all advanced features you provide in premium account.
Very nice app for practicing with accompaniment. I would have given a five star rating if tambura fine tuning is available. For instruments like flute which have fixed Shruti, fine tuning will help tremendously.
The app keeps on crashing , one day it works, next day it doesn't open...need to uninstall and install again to open it...works only a day...is there a solution to this?
While singing Kalpanaswarams for a song, I turn the Mridangam on and start to sing and this Mridangam instigates and inspires me to sing Sarvalaghu Kalpanaswaram with an uninterrupted flow. Thanks to Mysore Vaadiraj Anna to come with such an excellent app useful for Musician's.
Excellent app. I suggest that you upgrade the app to set the Shruti change in mohra-korvai session and also a filling session in between in each thaala. It will be fantastic.
Sir, I think it would be better if you can bring in Amazon kindle fire. Anyway, this app is such a brilliant idea!
Lol They give only one very fast unusable speed for free. Everything else is paid!
Its excellent app.....only thing is the korvai-mohra dont change pitch ...they are all always in A shruti..that thing is there
Unable to make payment thru app. Doesn't let any options for payment
Dear sir, I have subscribed to the app few months ago on payment of Rs.1800/- and recently had to change my mobile. It is again asking to pay. How do I resume using it, pls advise. Thanks.

Can i play varkari bhajani theka on this app?
Namaste Vadiraj. While browsing I suddenly saw this app with your name. A very nice app and initiative developed by you which will benefit many. Just a suggestion if you could have a flexible time signature - for eg. to be able to choose a tempo anywhere between 70 and 80bpm and not fixed as either 70 or 80 bpm? Is that option available in any other version of this app?
