Tubular Bells?
I need some nice tubular bells samples. Think 70's era Rush--that giant bell tree that Neil Peart has behind his kit? That sound. Is there anything included in Sonar? Dim Pro has a set, but they sound pretty bad. Any ideas? Thanks.

The "z3ta+ Classic Content" has a tubular bells patch that should be available (and tailor-able) in z3ta+ or Z3TA+2 (maybe Rapture Pro, but not sure on that one). I did a search on "bells" in Z3TA+2 and there are a few others, but that specific patch should have come with SONAR.

Try Chromaphone 2 by A|A|S. You can demo it for free. Bank "9. Chimes and Bells", Program "22. Platubular Bells". There are a number of other great sounding programs in that bank. The full d/l is only 28 MB. AAS' instruments are all modeled, not sampled. Very expressive. Chromaphone is first rate. But be careful! If you like it half as much as I do, you'll wind up with AAS GAS! I'm not kidding. I've got all of their instruments except Tassman. But that's only a matter of time. https://www.applied-acoustics.com/chromaphone-2/

Do you have Kontakt? There are two decent tubular bell patches (wood and metal) in the factory content.
 All else is in doubt, so this is the truth I cling to. My Stuff

Those are some nice sounding samples! Did not know they existed. Took me awhile to find. Kontakt Factory Library | Instruments | Orchestral | 4 - VSL Percussion

Great choices. I have the free Kontakt, but the tubular bells are not really what I'm looking for. Not the round, dull/sweet sound I'm picturing. They were really metallic and kinda grainy. Also, I don't really understand Kontakt and it seems there are only 8 samples available and I am too uneducated to manipulate them. Anyway, when I get home I'll check out the rest. Thanks!

If you could get to grips with Kontakt, Bolder Sounds does a free set of samples of Tibetan Prayer Bowls. Not Tubular Bells exactly, but a very round, resonant bell sound, and you can tweak the warmth or brightness of them very easily. Otherwise, I agree that AAS Chromaphone (which uses modelling, not sampling) would be well worth a try.

+ 1 Chromaphone 2. You don't need to spend money on a whole synth (btw I have it and think it is awesome), get a free player plus c.$39 sound packs. Also check Sample Tank 3 - it has great TBs and Neil Peart drumkits.

I grabbed the free Chromaphone demo, and that was big mistake. Great idea for the song I'm working on, terrible for my wallet. That thing is awesome!

I've used a glockenspiel from Kontakt and transposed it down and manipulated the formants with Melodyne, worked great.

If you have UVI Digital Synsations, there are some great bells sounds, including tubular bells.

+1 I have only their Retro Strings kit, but really like it. Their offerings are a bit on the, um, focused side, but when they do something, they do it right.

I have all the AAS products including all their sound banks <also have the brilliant Tassman> and use multiple instances in my recordings. There are interesting 3rd party sound banks out there as well. I had ten instances in one recording one time, at that point I think I had to freeze 4 tracks because my older i7 processor couldn't keep up <g>. Since the AAS instruments use physics-based models to generate the sounds, the amount of variations are limitless. Once you find a sound in the presets you like, modify it to your liking and save it as a new preset! I do use samples now and again but you cannot beat the AAS synths for generating incredible sounds. I never had much interest in Electric Piano before I got the Lounge Lizard from AAS, now - I really enjoy the EP sounds I am able to create.

The VSL Samples are great but since I have the VSL orchestra, I never looked in that area of Kontakt. This is good information.
