Ultimate Piper vs pipeband.net

Ultimate Piper is the complete music app for bagpipers – whether you're learning on a practice chanter or performing with a full pipe band. SCAN ANY SCORE Point your camera at a printed bagpipe score – or import a PDF or photo – and Ultimate Piper reads it into a playable tune, all on-device: in seconds for a typical tune, a little longer for a long or busy one. Several pages scan in one go, and braced harmony comes in as harmony parts. SEE THE BARS YOU MISS MOST Progress shades every bar of a tune by how your last five runs went, from green for the bars you play solidly to red for the ones you miss. Most Missed Bars lists them; tap one to select it for the Practice Loop. Say yes to recording your runs and you can listen back to any of them. PLAY ALONG Follow Along hears your playing through the microphone or a MIDI chanter and scrolls the score, lighting each note as you play it. Runs on the pipes are scored like runs on the chanter, gracenotes included, against your chanter's tuning on the day. Connect a Blair Digital Chanter or Fagerström Technopipes for precise detection. Turn your iPhone sideways and the score fills the screen. PRACTICE Mark the tunes you're working on as Focus and they join every session, longest-neglected first, with a Tune of the Week and warm-ups from tunes you know. A calendar and streak show your practice; log band practice too. Rate every tune from Want to Learn to Mastered. Loop any bars and let Auto + raise the tempo each time round. COMPOSE & EDIT Complete scores for light music and piobaireachd, with reactive grace notes and an embellishment wheel – doublings, grips, taorluaths and more. Mixed-value triplets play as written. Select notes to raise, lower, lengthen or copy them into another tune. Add rests, 1st/2nd time bars, harmonies, notes on the score, and tempo changes that speed up or slow down across a run of bars. LISTEN & SHARE AUDIO Hear any tune on realistic chanter or pipes – or record your own instrument and hear every tune on it – with each idiom's own timing, from strathspey snap to piobaireachd's held close. Render a tune or set, with harmonies and drones, to an audio file to send to a pupil or bandmate. TUNE UP The tuner hears bass, tenors and chanter at once, with a beat meter for the tenors and drones tuned to your chanter, not a number, on Apple Watch too. A guided tune-up takes the tenors one at a time. Four tuning schemes. Blowing mode scores your bag's steadiness out of 100. METRONOME Pipe band side, bass and tenor drums, tuned to your Low A, with accents, subdivisions and tap tempo. Also on Apple Watch, with haptic taps. JUST ASK SIRI "Tune my pipes in Ultimate Piper." "Start the metronome at 84 in Ultimate Piper." "Play Scotland the Brave in Ultimate Piper." Your library is in Spotlight, and every command is a Shortcut. HISTORY, SHARING & LIBRARY Every save is kept as a version, with colour-coded diffs; compare two tunes note by note and merge them. Export to PDF, send .pipescore to the PipeScore web editor, or share folders that keep your band on the latest music, choosing who can edit. Import BWW and PipeScore files into nested folders, and search by title, composer, genre or time signature. FOR EVERY PIPER VoiceOver reaches every note in the editor and tells you where playback is. Resize the score without a pinch. Works on iPhone, iPad, Mac and Apple Watch. Ready for iPhone Duo.
