Description
Desk Bell is a Soundiron tuned-percussion library built around a three-inch polished brass bell, sampled both close in a dry studio and in the halls of St. Paul’s Church. The primary ding includes multiple round-robin and velocity layers, with muted dings and mechanical clapper effects adding extra articulation.
The Kontakt Player edition also includes ambience, wavetables, sound-designed FX, four layers, and a master rack of 27 DSP effects. It runs in the free Kontakt Player 7.1.8 or later, supports the full Kontakt version, and is registered through Native Access.
