Carnatic - Notation Player is a Chrome extension designed for enthusiasts and students of Indian Classical Carnatic music.

User Reviews

Users appreciate the app's effective notation feature and suitability for beginners learning Carnatic music. They praise its design and unique practice capabilities, especially without instruments. Commonly mentioned issues include lack of repeat mode for practice exercises, limited sound options with harsh tones, and single voice support. Some report small errors in lessons and navigation difficulties due to absence of vertical scrolling in notation. Overall, users find it highly useful with scope for improvements in playback features and lesson accuracy.

Pros

Notation feature is especially great and useful for learning and practice.
The app is simple, effective, and suitable for beginners.
Facilitates practice of Carnatic music and composing, including user input of swaras.
Well designed interface with useful innovations like octave note entry.
Provides a unique tool for those without instruments to practice with the appropriate tala (rhythm).

Cons

Lacks a repeat mode for individual exercises; users cannot loop a varisai or lesson easily.
Limited sound options; the inbuilt tone can be harsh and there is no way to change instruments or tones.
App currently supports only a single voice/instrument; users desire broader instrument choices.
Some notation and lesson errors have been reported that require correction (e.g., janta09 exercise).
No vertical scroll bar in notation screen, making it hard to navigate longer notations.

Recent reviews

Excellent app. The notation feature is especially great. One question: if we want to play in double speed we put the notations between two * (Kalam 2) What should be do to have it play in Kalam 3 speed?

Lovely app, Only one request, if you could make a similar app with the Hindustani thaat headings it would be great and if the tempo pop up also could remain open like the Raag pop up so that you could change the tempo immediately
