Raag Multani
A raag of the Todi thaat, Multani comes into its own in the 3rd prahar of the day. It uses five swaras on the way up and all seven coming down. Phrases centre on Pancham - the vadi, or king swara - answered by Shadj as samvadi.
Swars: Rishabh and Dhaivat Varjya in Aaroh. Rishabh, Gandhar and Dhaivat Komal. Madhyam Teevra. Rest all Shuddha Swaras.

Sargam is written with Sa on C: komal swars are lowercase, teevra Ma is M̄, ʼ before a swar marks the lower (mandra) octave and Ṡ / ʼ after marks the upper (taar) octave. The synth plays plain notes - the gamak, meend, and andolan that bring a raag to life are what you learn in class with an expert.
