Description
Singing Bowl Renaissance is a virtual instrument built from damaged singing-bowl recordings restored with spectral repair, adaptive noise removal, and manual retuning. It includes 20 bowl sounds for meditation music, ambient work, and experimental sound design, with the plugin version adding multi-LFO, room reverb, filters, amplitude controls, and polyphonic, monophonic, or legato voice modes.
