@raga Shankarabharanam CarnaticABC Notation
Write Carnatic phrases you can see and hear.
CarnaticABC turns readable swaras into phrase shapes, playback, and shareable lessons. Start by learning the notation, browse examples in the Library, or open Studio when you are ready to create.
How it works
Readable notation, visible movement, musical playback.
See02
Watch the phrase move
See slides and oscillations as curves, so the shape between notes is easier to study.
Playback03
Carry it forward
Open the same phrase in the Library or Studio, then keep editing, listening, and sharing.
Library · Studio · lessons Where to go
One system, four cohesive destinations.
Learn the notation, explore public examples, and move into Studio when you want to save, edit, or publish your own work. Each place should feel like part of the same CarnaticABC experience.
