+ # Harmonic Frontier Audio – Smallpipes in A (Preview Pack)
2
+
3
+ This is a **preview dataset** of the Scottish **smallpipes in A**, created by Harmonic Frontier Audio.
4
+ It provides developers, researchers, and musicians with a compact reference set, demonstrating the quality and format of the full Harmonic Frontier Audio bagpipe dataset series.
5
+
6

+
8
+ ## 🎶 About the Scottish Smallpipes
9
+
10
+ The Scottish smallpipes are a quieter relative of the Great Highland Bagpipe, traditionally bellows-blown though mouthblown sets are also common.
11
+ They typically play in the key of A with a range from low G to high A, accompanied by three drones tuned to A.
12
+ Unlike many instruments, the smallpipes produce a continuous sound with no rests, and the chanter naturally grows louder as it ascends in pitch.
13
+ This continuous and dynamic quality makes them uniquely challenging — and rewarding — for audio modeling and dataset creation.
14
+
15
+ ## 📂 Contents
16
+
17
+ **Audio Files (.wav)**
18
+ - Recorded at **96 kHz / 24-bit** WAV format
19
+ - Exported as **mono or stereo** (depending on mic configuration)
20
+ - Clean recordings with no fade-ins or fade-outs (pipes are already sounding at file start/end)
21
+ - High-pass filtered at ~40 Hz to remove subsonic rumble
22
+
23
+ ### Categories in this Preview
24
+ 1. **Scale Exercises**
25
+ - No Gracenote Scale Exercise
26
+ - G Gracenote Scale Exercise
27
+ - Includes chanter-only, and stereo mix examples
28
+
29
+ 2. **Sustained Notes**
30
+ - Low A (plain sustain)
31
+ - C (vibrato)
32
+ - D (plain sustain in chanter-only mic, and stereo mix)
33
+ - E (vibrato)
34
+ - High A (plain and vibrato)
35
+
36
+ 3. **Short Tune Snippet**
37
+ - "My Gallant Hero" - Mono mix of chanter + drones (balanced, natural sound)
38
+
39
+ 4. **Isolated Components**
40
+ - Drones only (no chanter, drone mic only)
41
+
42
+ ---
43
+
44
+ **Metadata (.csv)**
45
+ Includes structured fields for file name, instrument, category, content, note pitch, vibrato (true/false), BPM, mic position, channels, sample rate, bit depth, recording chain, and dataset version.
46
+
47
+ ---
48
+
49
+ ## 🎤 Recording Notes
50
+
51
+ - Pipes recorded in a treated room with **dual mic setup**:
52
+ - **Chanter mic (Oktava MK-012)** near chanter
53
+ - **Drone mic (Rode NT1-A)** near drones
54
+ - Stereo files are balanced mixes:
55
+ - Chanter = Left
56
+ - Drones = Right
57
+ - Levels are natural to the instrument — high notes peak louder than low notes, reflecting authentic dynamics.
