Karunattu

Practise Carnatic music the way it is taught — in pure 22-śruti just intonation, never Western 12-TET semitones. Set your Sa, start the living tampura drone, and sing 35 free guided varisai lessons in a 4-phase interactive echo loop with real-time Sevi cents feedback — 100% offline and with no sign-in required.

Whether you are singing your first steady Sa, mastering Jaṇṭa and Daṭṭu varisais, refining kampita and jāru gamakas, or keeping Ādi and Miśra Cāpu tāḷa, Karunattu gives students, teachers, and performers a mathematically authentic Carnatic companion on iPhone and iPad.

WHY KARUNATTU IS UNIQUE
• True 22-Śruti Just Intonation (Never 12-TET): Every swara, drone string, tuner target, and synthesized phrase resolves through per-rāga microtonal ratios across all 23 śruti grid positions.
• 4-Phase Interactive Echo Loop: Don't just read notation — Listen to the reference phrase, Shadow along with the guide voice, Sing Solo against the tampura and mṛdaṅgam, and Review your per-swara cents accuracy.
• 26 Ratnākara & Pārijāta Gamakas: Visualize and practise kampita, jāru, nokku, odukkal, sphurita, and pratyāhata pitch curves against rāga-specific target zones.
• 175 Parametric Tāḷa Forms: Practise every combination of 7 sapta tāḷas × 5 jātis × 5 gatis (35 śūlādi tāḷas × 5 naḍai) with mṛdaṅgam theka and aṅga hand-gesture cues (beat, wave, finger counts).

FREE FOREVER — ŚIṢYA (NO ACCOUNT NEEDED)

• Living 4-String Tampura & Śruti Box: Continuous drone that follows you across the app with Pa / Ma / Ni tuning and fine cents offset.
