🎹 Play Like a True Irish Piper

A standout feature of this library is the dedicated regulators keyboard range — allowing you to perform harmonic backing just like a traditional piper would using wrist-operated regulators.

🎵 Simply use your left hand like a pianist, while your right hand performs the chanter melody.
No technical complexity — just intuitive musicality.

🔓 Freedom Beyond Tradition

Traditionally, Uilleann Pipes drones are tuned to the key of D — limiting harmonic flexibility. Not here.

🚀 This library removes that restriction entirely:

• Choose any key or tonality

• Extended chromatic regulators range

• No tuning limitations

Compose freely without sacrificing authenticity.

🎧 True-to-Life Sonic Detail

For maximum realism, the library includes controllable performance elements:

• Toggleable drones

• Adjustable bellows noise

• Authentic bagpipe FX textures

These nuanced details recreate the natural reeds’ blend and harmonic structure that make the Uilleann Pipes uniquely intimate and expressive.
