Frequently Asked Questions
No Sound Is Playing
First, make sure at least one note is selected.
Then swipe up and down in the “SWIPE HERE” area to increase AIR and begin playing.
The VOLUME slider is linked to the iPhone’s media volume, so please also check that the device volume is turned up.
Why Does Selecting a Note Not Always Produce Sound Immediately?
Finger Shruti recreates the basic behavior of a real shruti box, where sound is produced by pushing air through the instrument with the bellows.
Selecting a note alone does not produce sound. AIR must also be available.
What Is AIR?
AIR represents the amount of air being supplied by the virtual bellows.
Swipe up and down to increase AIR and produce sound.
AIR is consumed more quickly when more notes are selected at the same time.
Continue swiping to maintain the airflow and sustain the sound.
Can I Play Multiple Notes at the Same Time?
Yes. You can select multiple notes and play them simultaneously.
Tap a selected key again to deselect that note.
Can I Change the Tuning to A = 432 Hz?
Yes.
Use the TUNING control at the bottom of the screen to switch between A = 440 Hz and A = 432 Hz.
This changes the pitch of the entire instrument.
What Does the VOLUME Slider Control?
The VOLUME slider is linked to the iPhone’s system media volume.
It is not a separate volume setting used only inside Finger Shruti, so it also follows the iPhone volume buttons and Control Center volume.
Why Did the Sound Stop After 3 Minutes?
Finger Shruti allows you to try all playing features free for 3 minutes after launching the app.
To continue playing beyond 3 minutes, please unlock the full version.
The full version is a one-time purchase and removes the playing time limit.
Is the Full Version a Subscription?
No.
The full version is a one-time purchase. Once purchased, you can use Finger Shruti without a playing time limit.
Can I Restore a Previous Purchase?
Yes.
Open the “How to Use” page in the app and select “Restore Purchases.”
If the full version was previously purchased with the Apple Account currently in use, the purchase can be restored.
How Can I Get Better Sound Quality?
For a richer and more immersive sound, we recommend using external speakers or headphones.
