Practice, perform, and record with a live AI orchestra of 27 world instruments.
Built by a musician, for musicians.
Created by Sandeep Ranade

From the home screen, the Orchestra opens on its tuner. A voice sings the notes of raga Ahir Bhairav and the tuner follows each one, then the band joins in Teentaal at 175 beats per minute. The tabla fills grow, the sur tabla, ghungroo, shaker and tambourine join, a flourish runs into the sam, and the rhythm plays its ending, stopping on the last sam as the drones ring on.
Whether you're warming up, performing on stage, or recording your next release, NaadSadhana listens, responds, and accompanies you in real time, on 27 instruments, in 10 world genres. Powered by award-winning Artistic Intelligence.
On iPad, from the home screen to Recordings and the take Indian Classical James Bond: it plays with all its tracks mixed together, shows its video, and is shared as a video, the export finishing at 100 percent.
Sandeep Ranade, creator of NaadSadhana App shares his journey with Apple
CEO, Tim Cook, and demonstrates the app.

Pt. Rakesh ChaurasiaLive Orchestra responds so naturally, it feels like performing with trained accompanists.
I even used it during a live concert, and the response was phenomenal — the audience loved it too!
Recordings are incredibly easy … it takes away my need to denoise, mix and remaster separately, and does it all at one go!
Bought an iPad just for this app!!
