Synthesized Bagpipes

Try Deger Pipe and Master Gaita. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oKpCbeDTKtA

Then refine your search to New South Wales or QLD, or get some help from the best first, without all the chase. :wink:

Here's how you can have synthetic ones.

That's cool. Another source in Cat's area, if it isn't overlapping, it's the one I meant - you just call the "Con" for all your needs. :lol:

The Apple Jam Pack - World Music has the bagpipes in it. I haven't tried it out (I have LogicPro which includes all the Jam Packs) but the sampled instruments that I have used are good.

Hey, Ric...I'm wonderin' if yer jokin' or wot!!!

Nah!

For the others out there...let me clearly rephrase what I mean:

I need a sampled set of real stuff for Scottish bagpipes so I can run them down out of the software and onto a recording I'm working on.

The bagpipes in the Jam Pack are sampled bagpipes that can be played using your midi controller. That's what you want, right? Or are you looking for prerecorded bagpipe loops? There are some of those with the Jam Pack as well.

'ZACLY!!! Where's that available???

ME, jokin'?! :shock:

Ric, you can't tell jokes unless you took a hypocrytic oath? :lol:

I'll have to stick to hypocriticism, then.

As I said above, it's in the Apple Jam Pack - World Music. Not sure if it will work with your software but it does work with GarageBand and Logic both Pro and Express.

Yes...thanks for that. I'm STILL waiting for Apple to get back to me. The overall blurb is rather scanty in their off the cuff advertising...and they refer to bagpipes only as a loop. We're only just this week FINALLY (since December 3rd!!!!!) in receipt of all the bits and pieces from The States that were inadvertantly left out of our purchase order so we're finally getting "to work". One tune...is a truly heavy-duty metal rocker...needing bagpipes (go ahead...laugh!)...but we need samples and not loops. Tough to find. I've actually contacted the New Hibernians here in Oz about getting some real pipes laid down. That'll be weird, I might imagine!

My software compatability's good: ProMac 8 core with ProTools HD-2 (8.03)

Thanks again, Matey!

Good luck getting a reply back from Apple!

Ok, I had a look into Logic Pro (it comes with all the contents of all the Jam Packs) and it does have a sampled bagpipe. I gave it a small test using the computer keyboard input and it didn't sound so authentic to me. However, there are some things to consider: 1) I'm using a computer keyboard to play it; 2) I'm not a good keyboard player at all; 3) even with a keyboard you'll have to work hard to get all the right breath effects into the sound and other idiosyncrasies of the instrument. Also whether those instruments will work with anything but GarageBand and Logic I don't know.
