A simple loop mode enables practice for as long as the user desires. The software has other modes of operation including, playing or singing with full songs or instrumental music, at the same time independently controlling the volume of Tabla and the song or instrument in the music, to the point of completely muting one or the other. This helps the user to practice with the music, while adjusting the level of instrument guidance appropriately.
