Pavaroh

superclass: FilterPattern

basic classical indian scale pattern

allowing to apply an ascending scale (aroh) and a descending scale (avaroh)

Pavaroh(keypattern, aroh, avaroh, stepsPerOctave)

note that no special pakads (movements) or vakras (twists) are applied.

the pakad is often a natural consequence of the notes of arohana / avarohana

(ascending and descending structures). This is the purpose of this pattern
