Reference-Grade Rhythmic Precision
The Digi-108 is a significant leap forward from previous models, featuring a stunningly realistic sound and a convenient front-mounted blue LCD display. It is the only Indian musical instrument equipped with MIDI IN and MIDI OUT facilities, allowing it to be connected to keyboard synthesizers or computers for expanded creative possibilities. Whether you are performing Kathak, practicing Hindustani vocals, or composing in a digital studio, the Digi-108 provides the most versatile rhythmic foundation available.
Live Accompaniment & Variations:
The standout feature of the Digi-108 is its ability to simulate a live player. It features a variety of attractive Fill-ins, Laggis, and Tihayis that can be triggered manually or played intelligently by the microprocessor. In "Natural Mode," the instrument independently switches between variations, ensuring your practice feels organic and dynamic rather than repetitive.
Advanced Customization & Programming:
User-Programmable Thekas: Beyond the 108 presets, you can create and store 5 new thekas of up to 99 matras each.
Fine Pitch Tuning: Offers a pitch range of over one octave (C to higher F) with 30 levels of fine-tuning between standard notes for 100% accuracy.
Dagga Depth Control: Features 4 settings of dagga depth, allowing you to customize the resonance and "gumki" of the left-hand drum to your specific preference.
Seamless Studio Integration:
The inclusion of MIDI connectivity transforms the Digi-108 into a powerful tool for modern producers. It can be synced with external hardware or used to trigger tabla sounds from a MIDI controller. Additionally, it features a dedicated sync socket for the Radel Sunadamala Lehra, creating a perfectly synchronized tabla-lehra pair for instrumentalists and dancers.
Built for the Global Stage:
The unit is housed in a sleek, lightweight ABS cabinet that is both durable and portable. It features a universal SMPS (90V – 260V AC) power supply for worldwide use and an optimized battery circuit for longer performance times using 6 standard AA batteries.
108 Preset Thekas: Includes specialized patterns like the 48-matra Ek-taal and new Bhajan thekas.
Live Accompaniment Mode: Real-time simulation of a live tabla player with fills and laggis.
MIDI IN/OUT: The only digital tabla with full MIDI integration for keyboards and PCs.
Manjeera Sound: Integrated cymbals for a rich, folk-style accompaniment.
LCD Display: High-contrast blue screen showing Matra, Tempo, Taal, and Pitch.
ASDM (Auto-Save Dual Memory): Automatically remembers your settings and provides a secondary memory bank.
