Added additional chromatic note options for Great Highland Pipes, Border Pipes, SmallPipes, and Uilleann pipes: Based on the standard GHB fingering where the lowest note on the chanter is named G and the drone is named A (independent of the actual pitches produced), the fingering for the new notes are as follows: (X = closed, O = open, listed thumb first then the fingers from top to bottom of the chanter) Bb: X XXX XXOX C: X XXX XOXO F: X XOX XOXO G# (high): X OXX XXXX The Sackpipa is really it's own thing, and didn't get any new notes in this update. Added alternate fourth interval drone option (Eb for Great Highland Pipes, D for Border Pipes and SmallPipes, G for Uilleann pipes, A for Sackpipa) Additional bug fixes and improvements for iOS 9 A huge thank you to Orlan Charles in Brazil for requesting the new features.

Price History of Bagpipes Pro

Description of Bagpipes Pro

Bagpipes Pro is five extremely realistic sounding sets of bagpipes for the iPad that are played using standard Scottish piping fingerings. The instrument may be transposed up to +/- one octave in semitone increments as well as tuned up to +/- 50 cents. It includes five authentic sounding sets of Scottish, Irish, and Swedish bagpipes. The five sets of bagpipes are: Great Highland Scottish Bagpipes - The most popular Scottish marching pipes, in the traditional key of Bb. Scottish Border Pipes - A Scottish smallpipe in the key of A with a sound distinctly different from but similar to the Highland pipes. Scottish Smallpipes - A Scottish smallpipe in the key of A, one octave lower than the Border Pipes, and has a rounder, bubbly sound. Irish Uillean Pipes - Bellows blown pipes in the key of D Swedish Säckpipa - A set of Swedish bagpipes in E, with a very haunting sound. All of the instruments use fingerings based on the standard Scottish Highland bagpipes chanter. IMPORTANT: Since this app requires as many as 8 fingers on the screen at the same time, before playing, disable "Multitasking Gestures" on your iPad (in the Settings app, under the General section, turn the Multitasking Gestures switch to the off position). Start/stop the drones playing by touching the drone puck. Select standard or alternate drone note from the controls. Use the Transpose slider to set the overall instrument transposition in semitones. Touch the transpose value to the left of the slider to reset the transposition to zero. Use the Tuning slider to set the overall instrument tuning offset in cents. Touch the tuning value to the left of the slider to reset the tuning offset to zero. To play the chanter, touch the bar at the top left with your left thumb. This bar is the hole normally on the back of a real chanter and must be covered for the lower notes to play. Next, touch the top three holes of the chanter starting with the tips of your left index, middle, and ring fingers. Finally, touch the bottom four holes of the chanter with the tips of your right index, middle, ring, and little fingers. Touch the "i" to show/hide the live performance controls. Touch the "?" for on-screen help. Audio samples for the Säckpipa provided by Jonathan Parker from an instrument made in 1986 by Leif Eriksson. Drone puck image courtesy of Mike DeSmidt.

Reviews of Bagpipes Pro

Leave a Review Bagpipes Pro
  • Sound options

    I'm not a piper, but I think this app needs a closed fingering option (one finger off the chanter at a time). Also, this app needs the Bohemian bock, Northumbrian smallpipes, and kaba gaida as sound options. Thanks!
  • Bagpipes

    I have over a dozen musical instrument apps. All are straightforward to use. This one was incomprehensible and
    defeated me totally. Greatly disappointed.
  • Difficult

    App usually crashes before I can use it. This problem has been persistent for months.
