Celtic Pipes V3 for Logic Pro and MainStage

Celtic Pipes V3 for Logic Pro and MainStage introduces scripted ornamentation for the first time, bringing authentic Celtic pipe ornaments directly into your DAW with no extra setup required. Custom scripts for vibrato and pitch bend are also included, each with a full GUI giving you detailed control over the behavior to suit your playing style.

Three instruments are featured in this library: Uilleann Pipes (Elbow Pipes), Scottish Highland Bagpipes, and Pub Pipes. Each instrument comes with a full set of articulations controlled through the V3 scripted ornamentation system, and is available in both keyswitch and velocity-switching versions — simply load whichever method suits your workflow. Ensemble patches combining these instruments in various configurations are also included. All patches load directly from the Logic Pro or MainStage Library panel using Logic's native Patch format, making setup as simple as selecting a patch and playing.

Some Features of Celtic Pipes V3:
