AirPipes is a WiFi-based wireless MIDI Irish Bagpipes/Flute/Whistle control surface for the iPad.
The chanter fingerings are based on those used for the Uilleann pipes and will also be immediately familiar to Irish pennywhistle and flute players.
This app supports two independent wireless MIDI channels, emulating the operation of the drones and chanter of a half set of Uilleann pipes.
The app doesn't produce any sound itself, it is designed for controlling hardware or software VST-style MIDI synthesizers via a WiFi connection to a Windows or Mac OS X based computer.
Multiple iPads can run the app on the same wireless network, each sending messages on its own set of MIDI channels to the hardware or software synthesizer.
To play the chanter, place your fingers over the holes on the two halves of the chanter. The left side represents the "top" hand, the right side is the "bottom" hand.
Touch the drone puck to start/stop the drones.
Touch the green bar on the left side with your left little finger to play the notes one octave higher.
Touch the blue bar at the bottom left center with your left thumb to play the second octave "Back-D" selectable on either a press or release.
Touch the red bar at the bottom right center with your right thumb to stop the chanter sound for staccato techniques.
Touch the purple bar on the lower right with your right little finger to bend the pitch or play finger vibrato.
Rotate the iPad to Portrait orientation to see the fingering chart. Rotate back to Landscape orientation to play.
On the fingering chart, you may touch the blue Back-D bar image to toggle between whether the bar on the main screen plays the second-octave D note on a touch (default) or release (matches real Uilleann pipes chanter).
Also on the fingering chart, you may toggle between "Loose" and "Strict" closed chanter modes by touching the red bar. "Loose" closed chanter mode (default) stops the sound whenever the red bar is pressed on the main screen. "Strict" mode only stops the sound when the red bar is pressed and all the holes are covered and matches the real Uilleann chanter. This mode is used for staccato piping techniques. When in "Strict" mode sample attacks are faster when single holes are uncovered.
For students of the Uilleann pipes, the app supports nearly all of the alternate fingerings for most notes and can be used as a real practice chanter for the instrument. All 128 possible fingerings have been mapped as closely as possible to match the real instrument.
You may select the MIDI channel, attack velocity and volume for the chanter and drones independently using the sliders at the top of the screen.
The entire range may be transposed up or down up to one octaves (zero transpose is "C") in semitone increments using the chanter and drone transpose sliders.
All MIDI settings are saved when the app quits and restored the next time it is run.
Touch the '!' icon at the lower left to quiet any "stuck" notes if they occur.
AirPipes requires two pieces of software to do its job. The first is the AirPipes app itself, running on your iPad.
The other is a small free open-source DSWiFiMIDI server application that you run on your PC or Mac before launching AirPipes.
The server application receives the MIDI messages from the app via WiFi, and sends them along to either an external MIDI interface or a loopback MIDI driver to talk to software synthesizers running on the same computer.
Please read the instructions below for information on downloading and installing the open-source DSMIDIWiFi server application for your system.
For the most reliable performance with the lowest possible latency, I highly recommend that the PC or Mac should be on a wired network. The computer and wireless gateway that the iPad is connected to must be on the same network.
To get the full benefit from the app, you should be familiar with the use of MIDI control surfaces, hardware and/or software VST synthesizers.
If you have any concern about the compatibility of the app with your own MIDI setup, please try any of the other free WiFi MIDI apps on the store that use DSMIDIWiFi as a WiFi to MIDI bridge before purchasing AirPipes.
You may play along with tunes in your iPad's music library by starting a track using the iPad iTunes app, then launching AirPipes.

does anybody know why some of the apps, specially the korg electribe and the audiorealism technobox dont have and export function or ability to share patches with their harware/vst versions? that would be very useful and i would use that ,, but like that its just a toy. these appz i think have a lot of potential, why didnt they include that??

Eric Persing shows a very cool live performance application of using Spectrasonics Virtual Instruments like Omnisphere, Trilian and Stylus with the iPad via a new third party app called "Air Display" - which turns the iPad into a wireless, external touchscreen monitor for Macs. BTW, this iPad app and the techniques shown in the video can be used with any software....but it's particularly interesting with software like the professional Omnisphere Power Synth that is far too powerful to run on the iPad natively.
And here is the wide world's first glimpse at the Mellotronics M3000 HD. Powered by Ellatron and stuffed with genuine Mellotronics, this is initially an iPad-exclusive baby brother to Streetly's amazing M4000 tape-replay instrument, with iPhone version to follow. Streetly have for the first time made their entire tape vault available under license, and the M3000 is stuffed with voices derived from the Mellotronics tape library - *EXACTLY* the same tapes that appear on all those Beatles, Genesis, King Crimson and Zombies records.
All 35 notes of each voice are sampled - this is a *BIG* application, and it sounds beautiful. To make it even more beautiful we've integrated a gorgeous, lush and highly controllable reverb engine. The Church organ never sounded bigger ...
Four voices can be resident in memory at one time, allowing the classic A/B/C switch to be used to instantly switch between voices. Even better, the A/B/C switch is in fact a continuous controller to support an infinite* variety of blended tones. All the while, a 4th voice can be used with the now-standard Ellatron chord pads.
No bells. No whistles. Just 120 MBytes of pure, musical, Mellotronic joy.
