Real Tabla Sounds

• Dec 30, 2014 - 11:19

I love musescore, and its a great tool.

But I'm having problems while adding beats for tabla.
I mean, I coun't find real Tabla sounds, and notes were sounding like Drums.

When I select Tabla Instrument, I get only two beats available for that instrument.
How can I can I get realistic tabla sounds.

Is there any updated available, or any trick so that I can use real tabla
sounds.

Welcome smartsendy34,
maybe you have to choose an instrument "Piched Percussion" and then, from the mixer, look for a suitable sound (I can think of nothing better)

I'll try that and will come back to you :)

Sounds in MuseScore are controlled by the soundfont you have loaded. MuseScore comes with a soundfont that covers the instruments defined by the "General MIDI" standard, and this does not include tabla. If you wish to hear tabla sunds, you would need to find and load a soundfont that does include those sounds. See Soundfont for more on loading soundfonts.

Hi smartsendy34!

I know this is late, but do you still have those tabla soundfonts ? I have been searching for them in the net for a long time, but I have had no luck at all. Please share them if you can.

Thanks!
