Tubular Bells, Plate Bells
Tubular bells, also known as orchestral chimes, were originally developed as an easily portable substitute for church bells in the orchestra.
They are arranged chromatically and cover a range of two octaves.
Plate bells were first employed in ancient Asia and were further developed into a chromatically tuned array in the 20th century.
In the orchestra, plate bells are mainly used to substitute real bells.
Due to their rich overtone spectrum, they are especially well suited for lending tonal color and accents.
Other Instruments
The numerous bells with their different resonant, metallic tones offer a wide range of sounds from reverberant church bells to the delicate chimes of finger bells and Japanese singing bowls.
From adding sparkle to orchestral pieces to evoking ceremonial atmospheres to creating subtle, shimmering textures - this selection is a treasure trove of shimmering tones and vibrant timbres.
Sampling
The library features a full set of articulations for the instruments. Recording the samples relatively dry at the Silent Stage makes it possible to place them on your virtual stage and in the stereo field wherever you like, but also enables you to integrate them with the Synchron Series by using the internal convolution reverb of our very own Synchron Stage Vienna.
