1.First are Bagpipes used for rhythm in Scotland?

2.Second, What type of rhythm would they play ?

3.Is there any U.S. genre that would be similar in beat
and feel ?

I have to nail down in a genre playing a VSTi instrument that would
have feel of the bagpipe, but not its sound.
Bagpipe would replace it.
This could then be used for the UserTracks creation.

It sounds like the uniqueness of the bagpipe is a tough road
to conquer.

Only thing ever listened to for Bagpipes was very sad music.
Although some marching music also.

Do not have a feel for how to use the Bagpipes in a UserTrack.

Frank,

Have you spoken to Graham (furry) our Scottish accordionist? I bet he'll be able to help you smile

Bagpipe has drone pipes....

Sitar has drone strings...

Both instruments are painful to listen to.

Close enough of a match?

+1

Maybe he would lay down a couple of riffs that you could use.

No. Bagpipes are found in many cultures around the world. They belong to a musical conception that does not correspond to the modern of "rhythm' as distinct from 'melody' or 'harmony.'


2.Second, What type of rhythm would they play ?
...See above

3.Is there any U.S. genre that would be similar in beat
and feel ?

Similar to in what style, and in what way? I would like to talk to you about your project. I have been able to approximate Indian and Chinese traditional styles using BiaB. I may be able to suggest something.

Besides, we live fairly close.

Now here is another bagpipe question for you:

Q: What is the difference between bagpipes and an onion?

First, can see not a lot of love lost on bagpipes.

A mind/ear imprint made on me thru the years
The music to me is melancholy.

Regarding U.S. genre:
Only one I'd recognize would be marching music.

Regarding melodies, seems like drums would be "rhythm".

FWIW, it is not my intention to create Bagpipe music.
However to create a UserTracks using bagpipe, do need to
understand a little of its use.

Will PM Graham pointing out the posting if he missed it.
Know of him on another forum.

Thanks to all of you for the support responses.

I have gotten an acceptable approximation of bagpipes using layered oboe and bassoon instruments from sampletank.

Band-in-a-Box® 2024 Review: 4.75 out of 5 Stars!

If you're looking for a in-depth review of the newest Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows version, you'll definitely find it with Sound-Guy's latest review, Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows Review: Incredible new capabilities to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs.

A few excerpts:
"The Tracks view is possibly the single most powerful addition in 2024 and opens up a new way to edit and generate accompaniments. Combined with the new MultiPicker Library Window, it makes BIAB nearly perfect as an 'intelligent' composer/arranger program."

"MIDI SuperTracks partial generation showing six variations – each time the section is generated it can be instantly auditioned, re-generated or backed out to a previous generation – and you can do this with any track type. This is MAJOR! This takes musical experimentation and honing an arrangement to a new level, and faster than ever."

"Band in a Box continues to be an expansive musical tool-set for both novice and experienced musicians to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs, as well as an extensive educational resource. It is huge, with hundreds of functions, more than any one person is likely to ever use. Yet, so is any DAW that I have used. BIAB can do some things that no DAW does, and this year BIAB has more DAW-like functions than ever."
