The vPipes sound is in fact very close to the original, it really sounds like the "real thing" — not suprising given the fact that the samples stem from the very best material: Cillian Vallely sampling his Rowsome and Froment flat and concert pitch sets.
Description
vPipes-Uilleann is a unique electronic uilleann bagpipes emulator that uses revolutionary technology resulting in a real-life experience in terms of sound quality, fingering and ornamentations. It thus affords the possibility of practising accurately in a variety of situations that would prove impractical or impossible with a real set of pipes. The vPipes now includes the possibility of loading a whole array of MIDI sound-bank samples.
