Nanoguru

Inspired by the centuries-old Indian Tabla finger drumming tradition, Nanoguru offers intuitive finger drumming for the digital age. If you're someone who is always finger-tapping rhythms on any surface, you'll enjoy Nanoguru's responsive drum engine with its pristine studio-sampled sound kits.

Both Tabla drums, the Dayan (smaller, high pitched) and Bayan (big & bassy), are represented on the screen and contain different sensitive zones for complex edge-to-edge patterns.

Beside the classic Tabla sounds, Nanoguru also puts finger-friendly special effect kits, analog drums and heavy techno sounds at your fingertips.

• ultra-responsive low latency engine (a finger-snapping 50 drums per second can be triggered)
• 5 Carefully engineered sound kits:
  • classic tabla,
  • phased tablas,
  • robotic glitch,
  • retro 808 analog drums
  • overdriven techno
• Flippable GUI, for left/right handed play
• Adjustable echo/delay effect for both drums separately
• Allows you to drum over your favorite music (with iPod playing in the background)

• Trigger algorithms fully optimized for finger percussion
