SIM-BP is designed to simulate the sound of many different types of bagpipe.
It uses no samples, just synthesis methods. This means that while it may not sound as authentic as real sample sets you do have fine control over the timbre and behaviour of this class of capped reed instruments.
Includes a folder containing background info, and a User Guide which goes into detail about the operation and methods used.

It works perfectly fine with Cakewalk—just make sure to set it up as a synth and press the bagpipe-shaped button to turn it on or off.

2 stars where one is because it is free. It works for "Chanter Tuning: Great Highland pibes" but then unfortunately it is out of tune just playing the MIDI notes recorded into Cubase. The best is "Tuning Equal Temperament" but then it keeps coming with one sound I simply cannot remove. Every time there is a pause then it comes with this one note and I do not know how to remove. If it will just play the sounds chosen on the keyboard then it is a good product with nice sounds but unfortunately I cannot make this to happen.

Outstanding! If you can't get it to go, read the documentation. Press the button that looks like haggis with arms (the bagpipe bit, top right corner.)
My keyboard only has 37 keys so did two midi tracks. 1 low octave black flat key (e flat I think) for on off, one middle octaves track for my melody. Took me a while to figure it out. Maybe have arrows pointing at the haggis button screaming "press me first!" Documentation is excellent. Genius product

Quite nice sounds but a tad unstable. Crashes REAPER fairly frequently one some of the pipe settings. Will try to reinstall...

Superb sounds.
No sounds at all. Neither 32bit or 64bit version is working on FL studio (64bit windows)
Press the button that looks like bagpipes for air source. Had the same problem, read the manual..
nonuffya bizznis: I was going crazy — it had worked once with Cakewalk, and I couldn’t understand why it wasn’t working anymore! You’re awesome.

My Tracktion DAW can't install it, just gives a fatal error message. Other Quilcom vst work well

I don't get it. The key for triggering the drone works one out of twenty times, if not less. Works better after a cooldown of over a minute. I can't click the icon in the plugin every time I want to record my track! What the hell is wrong with this?

Lovely Uilleann Pipe sounds... and classic bagpipe too for sure. Willie would be proud. However, this is merely an oscillator and realistic MIDI/playing implementation. You need at very least some good reverb but also EQ to shape the sound. It can sound harsh out-of-the-box like a very close-miked recording. I wish the dev would implement some more filters in their instruments. But this is definetely one of the better ones.

The lower drones make it sound convincing. You won't find any better bagpipes vsti for free. I'm not a fan of the flowstone gui templates but this thing is a masterpiece at it's finest.
Doesn't work there isn't bank ... I open the vst and there is no sounds
The trick is to click on the bagpipe-symbol in upper corner to the right.
That activates it. It's a great emulation!
Thanks so much. Very nice job! Thanks also for the manual.
Hey how to install to cubase 14?
