Experience some of the awesome features of the Talanome App with this "lite" (but still feature-full) version that brings you the ability to play the most common Carnatic Talam, Adi Talam, without any ads, restrictions or restraints in this FREE version! Upgrade to the full version to unlock the myriad other options and features!
We created Talanome (and Talanome Lite) in 2011 as the first-of-its-kind Metronome catering specifically to Carnatic Talas. Built with a precision sound engine, it understood and utilized Carnatic tala structures and terminology.
How do you take a mature 13-year-old app and make it even better? We started with the basics - take all the knowledge and lessons learned, but start with a clean slate. Talanome Lite Version 10 has been rewritten from the ground up (like its parent app Talanome), with a brand-new, easy-to-use and intuitive interface, reimagined Tala Visualizer, and completely revamped Audio Engine all while staying true to its Carnatic roots!
Talanome Lite lets you develop your kālapramānam and learn the invaluable art of following anothers tempo which will help when performing (or training to perform) with other musicians/dancers.
