Hi there.

I am doing a project that needs circus music(parade -like) and want to find a similar sound with calliope (steam piano).
i have plugsounddpro and kontakt 3
any ideas of an intrument similar to calliope?
Thanks

Hmm, maybe try a Mellotron flute patch? Not sure you could get the right attack envelope to match a calliope though.

Not as closely related by any means, but sometimes a harmonium can be coaxed into those sorts of sounds (but you have to play it a certain way to achieve that).

Never mind.

Plugsound Pro - General MIDI - 10-PIPE - 77-Blown Bottle.

That's basically a calliope.

Peanuts, popcorn, cracker jacks anyone?

my friend.....a long time to hear from you.
thanks.
I also found another one from plugsound pro that i think it is even closer to calliope...
check this:
01- keyboards- 06 electric organs- 03-cheap organs- Flufisa 1

I think it is very similar or at least it matches circus parade music...

Flufisa 1 doesn't sound too much like a calliope to me, but it can certainly work for a circus as well. You might also add a bit of glock on top to make it sparkle (is appropriate). Don't forget the tuba(s), slide whistles, and popping balloons.

is there any sound in plug sound pro with the name "popping ballons"
I will try to find it...
thanks for your tips

I hate clowns! They're not funny. They're evil.

hahaha...
some clowns can be very scary!

Try Nanosampler>Factory>Layers>Layer 32.

Clowns? I won't post this image here:
