Hi David, I love tablas. This isn't a direct answer to your question, but you may find it works for you. I was able to make a midi controlled tabla drum machine using my computer. I'm using windows, but I believe the software is available in mac versions as well. All the software was free. You can download a nice set of free tabla samples from: http://www.waveform.dk/showcat.php?cat=drums&catID=1&offset=0 A ways down the page is tabla.rar. (provided by: alain vogt upload date: 2001.09.10) There are thirty different strokes in the set of samples. Download that and extract it. (ExtractNow is a nice piece of free windows software that will do the extraction) Loopazoid is a free VST drum machine that will load the tabla samples. http://www.loopazoid.com/ It was later developed into the commercial product "Battery" by Native Instruments. You can load the samples into Loopazoid, and then play them via Midi in any VST compatible software (I use EnergyXT). Let me know, I'd be happy to send you (or anyone else) the Loopazoid patch I wrote for the samples. It's written so the left and right hand strokes are "mute groups", and cut off any previous strokes from that hand. There was also a "Tablatronic" version of Rebirth floating around a few years back. I think you can get Rebirth for free now, though it can be a little fussy with sync.
