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.

The Basics

iLok is a copy protection method used by many of our brands.

It has 3 types of activations, iLok USB, iLok Machine, and iLok Cloud.

Different brands/products will offer different iLok methods. iLok USB is always an option, but the availability of iLok Cloud and iLok Machine methods is at the discretion of the software developer.


iLok Account

For all iLok protected products, you will need an iLok account. You can create one for free here: ilok.com/#!registration


iLok License Manager

To manage your iLok licenses, there is a dedicated app called iLok License Manager. This app is used to register, activate, and move your licenses between locations.

You can download the latest installers from the iLok website: ilok.com/#!home


iLok USB Key

iLok USB

This activation is stored on an iLok 2 or 3 USB key.

It is the best option for portability, if you frequently move between multiple machines, and offline use.


iLok Machine ID

Machine ID

This activation is stored locally on your computer.

While this is a convenient way to work offline, and does not require the additional cost of an iLok USB, there is the risk of a license being lost in the case of a drive failure.

This option also requires extra care when you upgrade to a new computer, the license(s) must be deactivated on your old machine first to ensure you do not lose them.


iLok Cloud

iLok Cloud

This activation is based online, and requires a "cloud session" using the iLok License Manager.

It requires an active internet connection for the entire time you use the plugin(s).
