Music Creation from Chandas
Generate rhythmic patterns based on the syllable structure

How it works: Each syllable in the chandas generates a musical beat.

  • Light syllables (Laghu) = short notes
  • Heavy syllables (Guru) = long notes or chords
  • Tempo controls the speed of recitation
  • Different instruments provide varied timbres
