हिंदी बोलने वालों, मे सोच रहा हूँ कि वेबसाइट हिंदी मे ट्रांज़्लेट करूं।लेकिन मेरी सपेललिंग बहूत खराब है ... देखेंगे !

Big changes

So I decided to go ahead and buy a domain name: www.talastudio.com, the virtual tabla is now on that website.

I wanted to add more features to the tabla, and make a website on my interest in Indian music in general. The new 'talastudio' (tala means 'beat' in hindi) website will be a place for expansion. Hopefully, it will host some other virtual instruments. I have a dholak so I'll try to make a virtual version of that too, that would be too cool! Basically a bunch of ideas are stirring me up, so I want a new website where I can try some new stuff out. It's gonna be slick, trust me!

New tunes

Added a new taal to the tune section.. "kherwa"..

Loading Bar..

Just put a loading bar for the virtual tabla. Hopefully now you might have some idea how long it will take to load! The v-tabla is currently about 146Kb, so at least modem users will know how long they need to wait.

New design

The virtual tabla now has a new design, its higher resolution to look better, and has some cool new features. It seems not many people still use 800x600 resolution, so I've decided to optimize the tabla for 1024x800.. sorry to those with lower resos!

Changes:

• New "TUNES" tab on the side, where you can have the virtual tabla play various tabla tunes for you!! So far, I have three very basic tunes (boles).
• Keyboard shortcuts doesn't bring up a small window anymore, it displays shortcuts right on the tabla itself... Also, the stroke names are placed on the tabla so you can know what sounds you are practicing
• New "shaded" interface that appears the first time you view the tabla
• Volume control shifted to better location
