Universal Piper Virtual Bagpipe released

Universal Piper is a high-definition virtual bagpipe instrument for Windows and Mac.

It is not only dedicated to DAW usage but aims also to approach the specific experience of playing a real bagpipe when used with one specific midi chanter available on the market.
It’s a software sampler dedicated to bagpipes. Today it is loaded with a GHB library but other bagpipe sounds will be soon available.

Each preset has to scales, one natural and one tempered, they can be tuned separately and recalled with a CC midi command.
Play the pipe with low-level(!) chromatic instruments such as a piano or a guitar!
“Override” command aligns every preset on a A reference value, so you don’t have to re-tune when playing in a band and switching from one preset to another.
