ePipes releases Studio Piper - Bagpipe v2.0

ePipes has released version 2.0 of Studio Piper, the Bagpipe virtual instrument formerly known as "The Fred Morrison Sound".

Studio Piper is a complete virtual bagpipe system but functions just as well as a stand-alone VST instrument plug-in. It has been developed with world renowned, gold medalist, multi-award-winning piper, Fred Morrison, and the Centre for Music Technology at The University of Glasgow, Scotland. Each stage of the production was personally overseen by Fred, working along-side former Tom Oberheim engineer, Bill Evans. Studio Piper delivers an authentic virtual bagpipe from the world's leading piper and the home of piping.

Features:

• All samples are played by Fred Morrison on his own instruments.
• Play Highland Pipes, Border Pipes, Scottish Small Pipes and Uillieann Pipes.
• Transpose to any key over a two octave range.
• Built in reverb.
• Upgradeable sample sets, new instruments and features to come.
• Long drone samples provide phasing and variation that define the real sound of the pipes, while remaining perfectly in tune.
• Adjustable chanter mellow. Choose your sound: piercing and rousing; or sweet and mellifluous.
• Compatible with all MIDI input devices.

Studio Piper is available for Windows as a VST instrument plug-in. It costs £75 (excl. VAT). Download and boxed versions are available.
