Love your video. I just got my WARBL. Did you make the video regarding WARBLE app settings in the WARBLE configuration firmware? How about other iOS apps like Celtic Sounds to iPhone. I Tried using a Belkin dual lighting + aux(headphones) adapter. I used a lighting to micro USB adapter to connect a double male micro usb from warble -> micro usb to lighting adapter -> lighting input Belkin adapter. No luck getting Celtic sounds app working on my iPhone. links to any other warble videos you have regarding software would be amazing! Or a Warble playlist on your channel . You have a lot of videos ;) couldn’t find the other warble videos you mentioned. Aloha from Hawaii!
Very interesting intro, thank you. Is it possible to discard the bag and use the WARBL purely as a whistle for all purposes? In other words, can I have Uilleann pipes through wind pressure created by blowing? How does this work in terms of going to the second octave? Thank you.
Good questions. Although I haven’t tried it since it’s just a pressure manometer, using the Uilleann sounds by creating wind pressure should not be an issue-it would just be a matter of setting the pressure accordingly in the settings. I have not tested that, but it shouldn’t be any different than changing the pressures to suit your needs anyways (especially since Uilleann pipes are two octaves also). The only caveat also would be getting the correct sounds to play depending on if you plan to finger it as the pipes or finger it as a whistle. Playing as the pipes would be not a problem as most programs would already be set up for it that way. I may have to experiment!
Do you have to use the app? I’m wondering if it can be used, with the bag even, with a synthesizer/sampler or plug-in, if I maybe configured the sound source correctly?
I believe it works as a midi controller so it could be programmed to be used with other software as well. I don’t know the full nuances of that however. The maker of the WARBL is quite responsive to questions however- and may be a good resource off of the website!
Excellent question! If you are tech saavy for messing with the sounds and the like, I would say the Warble is the way to go due to it’s versatility and articulation. Real bagpipes have a separate learning curve with the bag pressure (and if using mouth blown, the back pressure). If you want to play with others/marching, then real bagpipes would have to be the way to go for now (well, i guess with a backpack with battery bank and a speaker would work come to think of it)
@@Jerfish1 thanks for the quick reply. I am just doing it for fun. My daughter plays the bag pipes and they are really too loud to play in the house so I’d like some thing quieter. And hopefully easier.
The tin whistle sound apps and others that I’ve come across all go to low D, but not C. There may be other programs out there I haven’t explored yet. Respiro is a powerful electronic wind instrument midi application with a lot of different presets that may enable it but I haven’t purchased that nor gone into it yet. If I come across one I’ll update this reply thread!
Great review thx. I would love to see you make the separate video on the apps you were using. thx in advance.

@@Jerfish1 Many thanks. I've actually gone ahead and ordered one, taking the risk that all will be OK!

Which would be easiest to learn to play on? I have no bagpipe experience. Would it be better to get actual bagpipes?

So which is the better "bargin"?🤔💰💰💰
Given price and features I think the WARBL
So, can you set up a Warble as a Low C whistle?
The tin whistle sound apps and others that I’ve come across all go to low D, but not C.

When connecting the blue bag to the warbl, do you need to inflate it first?
Yup I give it a little puff of air
@@Jerfish1 Thank you
