SARDAB

• Forty factory scales cover maqam tunings such as RAST, BAYATI, SUZNAK and HIJAZ, and every played note takes the scale's tuning.
• The TUNE pages trim each of the twelve keys by one cent, from −63 to +63, per track.
• Four tracks each hold 64 steps with chords, ties, accents, slides, chance and ratchets, recorded live with overdub or written step by step.
• Pick the power-on scene: DUNGEON, CRYPT, TAVERN, CHAPEL, BLANK, or CITADEL in Bayati on D with desert oud, ney and drums.
• Four project slots and 32 sound slots hold your work, and a project keeps each track's scale, root and cent trims.
• USB carries MIDI both ways and a stereo audio input, while the web editor uploads samples and imports Scala tunings.
