Karoryfer Samples has released Cowsynth, a library of samples of medieval bagpipes. They are mapped both as bagpipes and as a synthesizer.
Key features:
- One traditional and one chromatic bagpipes mapping.
- Bagpipes mappings include separate voices for drone and melody, trills and keyswitchable chirps.
- Five different synthesizer-style mappings with different unison and detune algorithm.
- Synthesizer mappings include AHDSR envelope, vibrato and resonant low-pass filter controls.
- All synthesizer mappings include pad, pluck and organ versions.
- WAV samples and SFZ mappings.
- 13 MB download size.
Price: Free. The synthesizer parameter controls have been tested with Plogue Sforzando only and likely will not work with other SFZ-compatible samplers.
