What it is

Bagpipe is a Kontakt Leap kit from Image Sounds, a library house that has been recording professional musicians worldwide since 2009. The pack contains 616 live-played bagpipe loops covering both Great Highland and Borderpipes - from soaring drone pads to fiery melodic runs and authentic Celtic ornamental phrases. All loops are tempo-synced and BPM-tagged for instant project drop-in, and the full library weighs 1.1 GB.

Who it's for

Film composers and producers working on cinematic, folk, or world music productions. If you are building epic orchestral scores, trailer cues, or Celtic-flavored tracks and need authentic live bagpipe performances that sit cleanly on a timeline at any tempo, this library covers that ground without the logistics of hiring a session player.
