SOUNDIRON Noah Bells v2|Deeply Sampled Ancient Indian Bronze Bell Virtual Instrument
A virtual instrument capturing the raw, deep tones of Indian Khadki bronze bells
SOUNDIRON Noah Bells v2 is a deeply sampled Indian bronze bell sound source from Soundiron, featuring 21 handcrafted Khadki bronze bells of various sizes and pitches, offering high-quality 24-bit/48kHz stereo samples. This sound library not only captures the instrument's inherent sound but also meticulously recreates its rich dynamics and complex overtone details through multiple playing techniques (Mallet, Finger, Brush, Slap), multi-velocity layers, and Round-Robin sampling. It is a professional tool designed for film scoring and world music producers.
Compared to metallic percussion sounds found in general synthesizers or comprehensive sound sources, Noah Bells v2 offers unparalleled natural dynamics and rich spatial presence through authentic recordings using two microphone positions (close-up dry sound and distant church wet sound). Users can freely mix the two signals to achieve sounds ranging from intimate, delicate textures to grand, expansive church reverbs. This makes it more flexible and realistic than traditional sample libraries when creating unique atmospheres and world percussion soundscapes. Whether paired with the Kontakt instrument platform or the free Decent Sampler, it can be easily integrated into your workflow.
