Description

Altarab — a complete Arabic music academy on your device. الطرب

12 tools, built around the maqam tradition and quarter-tone tuning that
defines Arabic music. Designed for oud players, ney players, qanun players,
vocalists, and anyone learning Arabic music theory in earnest.

TOOLS

• Tuner — cent-accurate microtonal tuner with the 24-TET grid that Arabic
music actually uses (Yegah, Rast, Sikah, Awj, etc.). Includes a pitch-pipe
reference tone for tuning by ear.
• Metronome — sample-accurate AudioContext scheduler, seven time signatures
(2/4 through 9/8), and a tap-tempo button.
• Iqaa — a percussion lab with eight Arabic drums (darbuka, riq, tabla, duff,
khashaba, sagat, bendir, davul). Pick a drum, pick a rhythm from the 43-cycle
library, watch it play.
• Iqaa Trainer — tap-along scoring for those 43 rhythmic cycles, with
tempo-ramp mode that lifts your BPM as you nail the cycle and a
build-your-own-iqaa builder.
• Maqam Explorer — all 73 maqamat with structure, branches, modulation paths,
and a custom-maqam builder.
• Maqam Comparison — side-by-side intervals and tuning comparison between any
two maqamat.
• Solfege — sight-singing exercises with quarter-tone awareness.
• Oud Simulator — Iraqi-floating-bridge oud with maqam-aware fingering and
Karplus-Strong physical modeling.
• Scores — sheet-music library with synchronized OSMD playback, transpose, and
loop.
• Composer — 32-step grid with maqam-aware engine, MusicXML export, on-device
• Songs — bundled Arabic MIDI library with piano-roll playback.
• Karaoke — stem-separated mix-along for selected Arabic repertoire.
• Follow Me — play-along trainer with synchronized score and audio, tempo
0.5×–1.5×.

OFFLINE-FIRST

Every purchased tool keeps working with no internet connection. Sample data
ships inside the app, and entitlements live on your device.

ONE-TIME UNLOCKS

Each tool is a one-time unlock. The Tuner and the Metronome are free forever.
Other tools include a 60-second preview so you can see what you're getting
before you buy.

QUARTER-TONE NATIVE

Where Western music apps round to the nearest semitone, Altarab tracks pitches
at one-cent precision and renders quarter-tone accidentals throughout —
half-flats and half-sharps in scores, MusicXML export, and the Composer.
