Broken Bells (Kontakt 5.8.0+)

Though called “Broken Bells,” bells are not the only thing that was sampled. While we did sample some traditional bells, we also sampled tibetan singing bowls, kitchen mixing bowls, vases, wine glasses and other random objects which gave a “ringing” sound which we thought was cool. We also bowed a variety of objects, including the objects mentioned above, but also a giant tin cylinder which once held the Christmas popcorn from last year. If you’re in need of rusty, dirty, and beautifully imperfect bell sounds then Broken Bells is for you.

SOUND
Broken Bells comes with a simple to use UI only carrying the most essential features like Filter, ADSR, Sound Shaping controls, etc. You will see below that it definitely has some interesting features to shape the sounds.

SHAPE
The Shape Controls gives you deep control over the sound of the selected instrument. Note that this works for each instrument individually, in case you want to dynamically switch between instruments via keyswitch. You have control settings like panorama position, advanced sample start point, volume envelope etc. Besides that is there also a filter part where you can apply an envelope to to further shape the raw instrument. We did also not include any further effects like delay, chorus etc. since most of the time our customers are using their own gear or plugins, you only get the most essential tone shaping effects. 
More features: 
– Body, which is basically a very short convolution reverb to voluminize the overall sound 
– Tape, which drives the incoming signal from the instruments through a tape saturator 
– LowPass Filter 
– Output Amplifier 
– Master Stereo Width 
– 3 Band Master Equalizer with limited gain ranges 

Of course you also have the option to change performance settings like Timing, Vibrato, Velocity or Expression.
