SwarMala composer is the software application which you can use for composing music using the instruments in SwarMala. It consists of a multi-track
sequencer engine, with support for up to 16 independent channels (tracks). Each track can be composed using one of the built-in
instruments or a user-defined instrument (Professional Edition only). The composition can be saved
in the proprietary SwarMala file format (*.swr, *.smp) or exported as a standard MIDI file or a WAV file (Professional Edition only).
In addition, SwarMala also supports the native TaalMala file format (*.tal).
In addition, SwarMala Composer consists of a built-in sampler, which allows you to play the SwarMala instruments
using your MIDI keyboard or other MIDI device. SwarMala sampler can also capture the MIDI using the computer's MIDI input port, and convert
it into a native SwarMala composition. The compositions created using SwarMala can also be used in SwarMala
Accompaniment.
