• Change the LFO to pitch, and set the intensity to 5
• click on the ASDR envelope and set the attack, decay, and release to 0. Then, set the sustain to around 0.5.

Bagpipes

Creator: spira.

How to create:

• Select synthesizer or create a clone.
• Set the waveform to sawtooth
• Set the filter to lowpass and set the frequency to somewhere around 1200
• Set the resonance all the way up to 10
• Change the LFO to pitch, and set the intensity to 5
• click on the ASDR envelope and set the attack, to 0.60, the decay to 0.90, the sustain to 0.60, and the release to 0

Synthesizer settings for bagpipes

• In advanced options, set Large Reverb to around 0.30
• Click distortion and set it to Hornet with an intensity of 0.55
• Click EQ and set the High EQ to around 9
• Set the detune to -1200 (optional)

Advanced options for bagpipes

Now, make a clone of the bagpipe, and set the detune to about 10-20 cents above the first synth. Layer both on top of each other to get the bagpipe sound.
