Tabla/Tanpura Variations
Each Tabla/Tanpura features five Variations A–E via
the Tabla sound. These five variations can be alter-
nated via the [A]–[E] buttons during playback, allow-
ing you to add dynamic variations to the performance.
In addition, four phrase variations via the Tanpura
sound are provided commonly for all the Tabla/Tan-
pura patterns. These four variations can be alternated
via the TANPURA 1–4 buttons.
Unlike the Styles, the Tabla/Tanpura patterns do not
have the variations dedicated to the beginning or end-
ing of the Song, such as Intro and Ending.
The Tabla/Tanpura playback will continue until
stopped manually.
