![]() To me this is terrible - the character of pipe music comes from those 'blue' notes - not sure how a piper could play the traditional repertoire correctly without them. So the suggestion is that modern pipes are now tuned to just intonation. There are some documented examples of other tunings: Forsyth lists three traditional drone tunings: Ellis, A3–A3–A2 Glen, A4–A4–A2 and Mackay, G3–B3–C2." ![]() The two tenor drones are an octave below the keynote of the chanter (low A), and the bass drone two octaves below. And the best is that they’re all VST instruments but also support AU and AAX in nearly any DAW. From Hollywood composers to bedroom producers, musicians around the world use these virtual instruments to push the envelope of music production. Today, however, the notes of the chanter are usually tuned in just intonation to the Mixolydian scale. Get inspired by the best virtual instruments, new VSTs, and award-winning sample libraries. According to Forsyth (1935), the C and F holes were traditionally bored exactly midway between those for B and D and those for E and G, respectively, resulting in approximately a quarter-tone difference from just intonation, somewhat like a "blue" note in jazz. I have the Free Dexed 1 DX7 VST and way down in Cartridge 25 sound 26 is the only Bagpipe patch I could find. Not sure if this is true, if he did then he sure must have modified the patch. For example, on some old chanters the D and high G would be somewhat sharp. I was told once that the intro to Steve Earls Copperhead Road the Keyboardist used s DX7 to create the bagpipe sound. "Traditionally, certain notes were sometimes tuned slightly off from just intonation. Not sure about Northumberland pipes (my favourite), Irish pipes etc. Better IMO are traditional slow airs written for pipes. Also known as the Irish Bagpipe, Uilleann pipes utilise multiple drones. Made in collaboration with award-winning composer Hannah Peel, LABS Uilleann pipes features in her score for the National Theatre production of ‘Dancing at Lughnasa’. Which is why tunes like amazing grace tend to sound awful and 'out of tune' when played on real pipes. Spitfire Audio has released Uilleann Pipes, a free library for their LABS virtual instrument plugin. The only problem is that the tuning sounds diatonic to me which is wrong for bagpipes, at least highland pipes are definitely not diatonically tuned. Please contact support for details.I like showing it off because I have no other practical use for it. (2) Sibelius / Finale / Dorico notation programs work with Opus, but do not support the full feature set of some Opus/Play Libraries, such as those that use WordBuilder.Please note that while most Sequencers / DAWs are VST 2, VST 3, AU and AAX plug-in format compatible, only those listed in the chart below are officially supported. Each instrument has been meticulously recorded and edited to preserve its unique. The library features 36 instruments, including flutes, harps, bagpipes, and bodhran drums. ![]() The chart below outlines the MacOS and Windows 64-bit operating systems and sequencers that are officially supported and fully tested with the latest version of Opus. 'Celtic ERA 2 by Best Service is an impressive library of Celtic instruments that accurately captures the sound of traditional Celtic music. ![]()
