thinkspaceeducation.com/htwm/ Happy New Year! A time of celebration, hope for the future and .....bagpipes. There's always a sting in the tail isn't there? Recently a friend of mine asked me what I thought were the most useable sampled bagpipes available so I went to find out.
The two libraries I looked at were
Celtic Era 2 from Best Service
www.bestservice.com/celtic_era_2.html East West Ra (included in Composer Cloud)
www.soundsonline.com/world-and-traditional/ra I also found a bagpipe recording on Splice

Greetings from Edinburgh! It's amusing to hear you talk about legato - because of the way the instrument works, legato is the only way of playing bagpipes, to the extent that the only way of playing repeated notes is to insert grace notes in between. That's what the library you used was trying to imitate (very badly!) It's a style called piobaireachd (pibroch) and can be very emotive and skillful, when done right. Oh, and it's really only used with solo pipes, rather than massed pipes (and no, two pipes played together isn't really "massed pipes" π ). You forgot to mention HZ's bagpipe music to Dune (part 1) π Other than that, HNY2U... π
