Säckpipa - Swedish Bagpipes in E/A for the iPad

YouTube Uploaded by tradlessons on Apr 4, 2011

"Sackpipa is a cool sounding set of Swedish Bagpipes in E/A for the iPad.

The chanter fingerings are based on those used for the real instrument.

You may choose between major and minor scales.

The left half of the chanter image is for the "top" hand, the right half is the "bottom" hand.

The bar at the bottom center is the left thumb hole that is on the back of a real chanter.

You may perform finger vibrato for expression on most notes with the middle finger of the right hand. Vibrato depth is adjustable with the on-screen control.

Touch the drones in the background painting to start/stop the drones.

Touch the Stop sign at the lower right corner of the screen to stop all sounds.

Touch the 'i' icon at the upper right corner of the screen to show/hide the on-screen volume and drone startup pitch ramp controls. All settings are saved and restored the next time the app is run.

Touch the '?' icon at the lower left corner of the screen to show/hide the on-screen help and fingering chart.

On the real Sackpipa, you have to keep your left thumb covering the back chanter hole for all notes except the highest one. On the app, the back chanter hole is provided by the gray bar (lights up green) at the bottom of the screen under your left thumb. If you aren't hearing any different notes, make sure your left thumb is on the bar.

Next, touch the bar at the bottom with your left thumb, and touch the left half of the chanter starting with the tips of your left index, middle, and ring fingers. Next touch the right half of the chanter with the tips of your right index, middle, ring, and little fingers. The tips of the fingers must be used, not the flats.

This initial version has sounds with a full sounding chorus effect.

Future updates will include dry sound sets and additional tunings."

Forwarded to the Waldorf list via Jean-Baptiste (note the manual is via Julien):

"Hello everyone!

Please pass it on everyone, where you think it might be of help! - Small
NOTE: The Microwave XTK has slightly different menus, because there
occasionally are keyboard settings.
I hope someone can find a use for it!

"Analogue Ribbon Station"

Update:
"Korg Monotribe Analogue Ribbon Synthesizer Station

— Analog Synth + Analog Rhythm + Step Sequencer = Analog Electribe - In a world seemingly ruled by digital, Korg created an analog sensation with the palm-sized monotron Analogue Ribbon Synthesizer. Today, Korg once again takes up the analog banner with the amazing monotribe Analog Ribbon Station; a new form of synthesizer that packs an amazing array of features and technology into its compact body.

Korg's monotribe shares the monotron's analog DNA, yet quickly delves deeper into the rich, organic, and often chaotic world of analog synthesis. In addition to analog synthesis, monotribe brings together intuitive ease of use and a three-part discrete analog rhythm section, plus the proven appeal of Electribe-style sequencing. Complete with built-in speakers and battery power, monotribe is self-contained and highly portable, able to deliver your ideas with style and personality.

True Analog Synthesis
The monotribe's sound engine uses technology old and new, merging the powerful sound of analog synthesis with the dexterity and playability required in today's groove making environments. Analog technology is essential for fast and responsive control, and delivers the full sonic spectrum from warm and easy-going to full-throttle rampage.

Three-Part Analog Drums
The monotribe provides a three-part rhythm section powered by discrete analog circuitry; bass drum, snare, and hi-hat. These three sounds were the key elements in a generation of analog beat making, and are still in demand today. Use these powerful drum sounds to generate distinctive beats attainable only from the monotribe.
