On a bagpipe, the fundamental is made up of usually a bass tone and an octave, coming out of two seperate pipes in the back, hence the multiple instrument sound I was referring to. Next, I used Harmor's internal prism modulator to add a bit of a randomized effect in the beginning, which quickly fades.

The Uilleann pipes sampled were made in the late 1990s by the late, legendary craftsman Dave Williams. They are based on a Crowley design. The chanter was made in 2006 by Benedict Koehler with its form derived from a Rowsome chanter.

Both the Border Pipes and Small Pipes used were developed by Fred Morrison and Stuart McCallum and were manufactured by McCallum Bagpipes. They appeal to pipers of all kinds because of their acoustic compatibility with other instruments. Both default in the key of A (440) with an extra E drone creating a harmonious chord.
The Great Highland Pipes sampled were McCallum drones with a McC2 chanter designed by top competing piper Willie McCallum, again manufactured by leading pipe maker McCallum's Bagpipes.

Being a software based instrument allows us to use much longer samples. Studio Piper therefore produces a much more realistic sound than a purely-hardware eqivalent. For example, our drone samples are up to one minute long. This produces the minor variations and phasing that make a recording sound real, while remaining perfectly in tune.
