What’s He Going to Talk About? • Indian music (the very short version). • Demonstration (the long version). • Pearls of wisdom.
Indian Music • Also a 12 tone system. • Note names: Sa, Re, Ga, Ma, Pa, Da, Ni, Sa = Do, Re, Mi, Fa, So, La, Ti, Do. • “Komal” = “b”, “Tivra” = “#”. All 12 tones: Sa, Komal-Re, Re, Komal-Ga, Ga, Ma, Tivra-Ma, Pa, Komal-Da, Da, Komal-Ni, Ni. • Note names are relative to a base tone.
Lists vs. Sequences • List: A collection of mutually exclusive items. • Sequence: All items, whether duplicated or not, are necessary and need to be in a specific order. • Example: • C, C, G, G, A, A, G, F, F, E, E, D, D, C. – Sequence • C, D, E, F, G, A. – List
Western Music C, Db, D, Eb, E, F, Gb, G, Ab, A, Bb, B = Lists C Major Scale C Minor Scale Composition Composition Composition = Sequences Composition Composition

Thaat: Ragas • Asavari: Adana, Darbari, Desi, Jaunpuri • Bhairav: Ahir Bhairav, Bairagi Bhairav, Bhairav, Gunakri, Jogiya, Nat Bhairav, Kalingada, Vibhas • Bhairavi: etc… • Bilaval: … • Kafi: … • Kalyan: … • Khamaj: … • Marwa: … • Purvi: … • Todi: … • (Misc.): …
Ragas • Aaroha – Ascending sequence • Avaroha – Descending sequence
Demonstration • Before…and After. • Scale Screen: Addition of ragas. • Arpeggio Screen: Stringing a sequence together. • Composition Screen: Save feature. • Tools Screen: Expanded Tuner. • Configuration Screen: Controlling count-offs and controlling the base frequency.
Conclusion (Just give me my ‘A’!) • Pearls of Wisdom: • JDK v1.4 and import statements. • Swing vs. AWT. • When dealing with sound, use threads!
