Doubtful if they'd develop this Rich. If you have the money, Limex V3 desktop have fabulous bagpipe, from a solo piper to a full band. Northumbrian pipes, small pipes, Highland pipes etc...
Drop me a pm if you're interested and I'll give you the gen. I'm not an agent by the way just a delighted user

Furry, just curious, why do you feel doubtful they would develop this?

Sounds like a good suggestion to me. I can think of any number of songs that would go well with bagpipes. Obviously, bagpipes tend to be melody instruments, but I would think you could come up with some neat stuff even as a chord based soloist instrument to enhance the arrangement, especially for new original songs where the melody isn't known yet anyway.

My thoughts are the pipes would be very tempremental when it comes to speed changes. The part where the melody comes from is the chanter, and the bass comes from the drones. You CAN'T have the pipes without the drones. My guess is they would take a hell of a lot of development. With the pipes most people either love or hate them. Personally I don't like a solo piper. I DO LOVE hearing pipes with a nice backing. I'll make up a track using pipes from the V3 expander and biab in the near future

But Graham, the PGMusic folks are pretty smart about stuff like this. I bet they could figure it out (should they choose to).

Thanks Graham. The machine looks fabulous.
I would never spend thousands on it though.
Am sure our experts will come up with something.
Cheers.

Just trying to work out a way now for a some Bagpipe UserTracks, you can generate the Drone as a separate track and Notes as another allowing the note change but same drone..

Here's some samples from actual Highland Pipes.

Pipers_Notes.mp3

Pipers_Drone.mp3

Pipers_Mix.mp3

Though I don't think the 3/4 is working yet in UserTracks.

Ya gotta love em', Bon Scott played em' in It's A Long Way to The Top.

Ok I just made a small prototype test.
So I made the Drone as a Drum so it will be the same "A" all thru.
Drum Endings are not working correctly yet in BB/RB so you might not get a fade out.
They are still in mono till the bug gets fixed.
The Chanter track is in Key A, the midi was scaled to fit the chords of the 30min Pop UserTrack Template A.
It is just a solo Highland Bagpipe.
UserTracks still get stretched a bit more than they need to, they need more options.

It gives a rough idea that something can be done with a bit more work.

Thanks furry, "Glen" "Campbell" how Scottish is that, just dawned on me lol, like "Bon" "Scott" and my surname is Scottish and Canadian on the other side.
Maybe the Pipes are in the DNA ?

You are right found this:

Had no idea this would be so complicated.
Great appreciation to people for looking at the idea.
Especially to SolidRock and Seeker. Cheers.

Here's a link to a set I recorded using the V3 expander from Limex. Totally fooled quite a few players into thinking I had a real piper
