SwarShala Pro Update

Along with the new Librarian, we have also released a new update for SwarShala Pro (version 3.0.9) that allows you to drag&drop a sequence directly into your sequencer, allowing a perfect integration of SwarShala with your SwarPlug/SwarTrax-enabled sequencer! The program just generates a corresponding MIDI file on the fly.

You can also tailor the exported MIDI files with the same parameters as the Librarian (see above).

Mac Intel compatibility

Both SwarShala and Swar Librarian have been compiled as Universal Binaries and therefore run natively on both Intel and PowerPC (PPC) computers.

The SwarPlug plugin however is still a PPC program. It will run on Intel if called by a PPC-only sequencer, through the in-built emulator Rosetta. We should be releasing a ported version of it within a couple of months.

Featured CD : IndiaLucia

We have litterally fallen under the charm of this beautiful fusion album. IndiaLucia is a fantastic blending of Indian music with Flamenco, where each musical style never looses its authenticity. As "Flamenco Connection" puts it:

"The culmination of a five year collaboration and exploration of common ground and possible common roots between Flamenco and Indian music, this recording represents easily the most successful fusion of the two musical cultures to date. The main instruments are Flamenco guitar and sitar, tabla and cajon. Both the rhythmically driving and the slower more mournful pieces sound "native" to both musical cultures, and underscore the tremendous affinities that exist between the two."

You can order IndiaLucia directly at our store by clicking on the link besides.
