Description
PocketPipes is an iPhone/iPad/iPod touch/Mac player for bagpipe tunes (abc and bww files) with lot of options. Polyphony and drones produce a very realistic bagpipe sound. A vertical bar shows the note being played on the sheet music. PocketPipes is your partner for practicing, with your own tunes. Statistics about recent playbacks help you to drive your training sessions.
PLAYBACK OPTIONS
- bagpipe chanter sound or practice chanter sound
- polyphonic capacity (one file for each voice: 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th). Select the first one to play in a polyphonic way.
- defining a section of the tune for playback (to focus on few measures when training, with long press on the sheet music). The area outside the section is grayed.
- loop mode
- playing with or without drones
- C natural, or C natural + F natural

What's New in Version 13.0
PocketPipes can now play up to 4 voices at the same time. The need is to have one abc (or bww) file for each voice. All the files in the set must have exactly the same duration when playing. You just have to follow the naming rule hereafter:
any_title.1st.abc (or .bww)
any_title.2nd.abc (or bww)
any-title.3rd.abc (or bww)
any_title.4th.abc (or bww)
Only when selecting the .1st, you are proposed to play 2,3 or 4 voices depending on the size of the set. PocketPipes checks the durations.
You cannot play polyphony when a begin mark is set on the first voice.
If you install the demo pack (when your data base is empty), you will find inside 5 polyphonic sets as examples.
If you prefer to keep your current data base you can download the polyphonic musics from the support web site and add them. to your existing files.
