Bagpipe sound needed

Did my best...

😀😀😀😀

Two scenes, one for the very short solos, the next for the full orchestra, 16 zones.

Master tune @ 465 Hz.

Scale TUNE @ JUST MAJOR C for all zones, by setting it so under ZONE EDIT>SCALE TUNE and then getting it active via MENU>SYSTEM>SOUND >Scale Tune Sw ON.

Cannot tell you the many hours I went thinking my ears were out of order when I went changing the tuning and tweaking everything here and there but noticing no variation in the sounds heard....😢😢😢😢
Yes, you need to activate the changes via Scale Tune Sw !!!! 🤪🤪🤪🤪
Obviously, an easy way to return to equal temperament at the flip of a switch instead of having to go removing the settings through every single zone, but of course. I was in bed when I thought such a setting should be implemented, then went back on my feet and discovered the setting was already there and the changes in the sound became obvious immediately. Anyway, Scale Tune Sw ON/OFF should be located in the scene settings, shouldn't it ? Or even better: be made System/Scene dependant as per user decision as we currently do with the pedals.
😃😃😃😃

The ability to use a custom scale in addition to many historical tunings is truly astounding.

Sadly when back to bed I couldn't stop asking myself and I am still yet to understand what Roland says next to JUST-MAJ regarding the melodies:

"This scale eliminates dissonance in fifths and thirds." UNDERSTOOD. In fact there were none, as it is JUST and it was the NEED of a tempered scale along history what introduced errors in thirds and fifths or into any other interval as you modify them trying to close the circle (getting to the very beginning note but an octave apart as you walk the scale progressing on every interval), thus allowing to play in all keys with minimal flaws in intonation, as they turned a bit out of tune as experts-accepted dissonances were incorporated, our non expert ears finally becoming accustomed to them. So it should say "This scale have no dissonances." In so doing we would easily understand the differences there are when tuning (fix a scale going 2/1, 3/2, 5/4) or tempering (going for example 2^(n/12) as in equal temperament).

Let me tell you the sound is so beautiful birds came to the garden by the dozens before and while playing this scale they have just arrived by the thousands.
🎶🎶🎶🎶
But Roland continues..."It is unsuited to playing melodies and cannot be transposed"
(🤔🙄🤔🙄🤔🙄 You feel the pain as I do ?)

"..., but is capable of beautiful sonorities".
(INDEED, look at those birds I told you before, they are listening !!!!).


In the end the bag pipe notes match the scenario of pitches deployed by John M A Lenihan and Seumas MacNeill choosing the M option for the notes (example, DM at +19.6 cents instead of DJ -2 cents) among those with J/M shown in the very detailed table below, an extract from https://publish.uwo.ca/~emacphe3/pipes/acoustics/pipescale.html

The bag pipe used is a user tone I made, with ornament as variation and three drones singing two octaves apart (-1/0/+1) and needing some 18 seconds to become air depleted...🤭🤭🤭🤭 I know the real thing uses a drone singing two octaves below instead of one, but I decided so in order not to overcharge the 116.25 Hz arena (A2) as other zones become involved playing ostinato just there. And it turned being a terrible mistake I am fixing right away by going -1/-1/-2 and setting the loudness of each according to the curves of perceived loudness / pitch / loudness requiered...

See the content has a dynamic range of some good 50 dB and the 16 zones scene (starting @ 01:08) plays frequencies of 8 Hz at 0 dB of attenuation !!!!
A couple of subwoofers are a must.
Ok, one will do.

Only the keyboard and a single pedal was used.
Pedal set on first scene to NEXT SCENE, and to ARPEGGIO SW on the second one.

Well, that was a surprise! Brilliant attempt, and I will set it up once I have studied the manual! Thanks. That's great.
