MIDIPipes is a Uilleann/Highland Bagpipes chanter and drones CoreMIDI control surface for the iPad.The chanter fingerings are based on those used for the Irish Uilleann or Scottish Highland bagpipes.MIDIPipes supports two independent MIDI channels, emulating the operation of the drones and chanter of a half set of Uilleann pipes.MIDIPipes doesn't produce any sound on its own, it is designed for playing hardware and software VST-style MIDI synthesizers via a CoreMIDI compatible interface connected to the dock connector or virtual MIDI instruments like IK Multimedia SampleTank® for iOS or Sonosaurus ThumbJam running on your iPad.You first absolutely must turn off "Multitasking Gestures" in your iPad Settings to use this app. When they are turned on, when you put four fingers on the screen, Apple takes over the system, stops all the sounds, and assumes you want to start switching between apps.
