The Soundbytes BagPipes is a sample based VST plugin instrument for the
windows platform. Its elaborately crafted control engine makes it easy to
play authentic sounding bagpipe styles and techniques.
This can be done using nothing but a simple MIDI keyboard with just basic
modulator input through pitch bender and modulation wheel.
Use the BagPipes to play authentic parts with convincingly sounding
ornaments, cuts, taps and staccato runs. A specially designed pipe filter
adds yet another layer of realism to vibrato, fades and pitch slides.
Features:
* choose among six distinctly sounding bag pipe instruments from different
european traditions:
(of course it is possible to switch instruments while playing)
* galician gaita
* swedish saeckpipa
* bock (germany)
* flemish pipe
* german shepherds pipe
* bohemian dudy
* true drone instrument behaviour.
* attack noise variation for naturally sounding trills and ornaments.
* vibrato, bag pressure and two user configurable chanter modulators are
controlable through MIDI.
* rate and amplitude of the random drift modulator can be fine tuned to
simulate different stages of the pipers proficiency and drunkenness.
* all modulators act simultaneously on pitch, volume and tone color for
increased realism.
* very low on CPU and memory

data. Up to six midi configurations can be recalled.

automatisation. This works fine as well when standard low resolution midi
controlers are used.
Stepper buttons change color when a note outside the recorded range is
selected in the tuning and chanter range sections.
Numerous bug fixes increase the overall stability and usability of the
