Product Overview

Toll offers a diverse collection of multi-sampled bells, including carillons and historical pieces, spanning from the 14th to the 20th century. This library captures the unique tonal qualities of both European and South East Asian ceremonial bells, providing a rich palette for scoring that evokes grandeur and authenticity.

Details

The library features four main categories of bells: Carillons, Historical Bells, Silk Road Bells, and Tower Bells. Each category includes a variety of samples, such as 15 original European bells and 13 South East Asian ceremonial bells. The recordings are made with great attention to detail, preserving the natural resonance and long release tails of the bells, which can extend up to 30 seconds.

Each bell set is designed for intuitive playability, with controls for selecting bell types, adjusting tail lengths, and applying EQ and reverb. The interface allows for easy navigation through the eight available bell sets, including options for hard and soft carillon sounds. The library also incorporates round-robin sampling to ensure a natural playback experience, cycling through multiple samples for each note to avoid mechanical repetition.

With its focus on historical accuracy and sonic depth, Toll is well-suited for compositions that require a majestic or ceremonial feel, making it a valuable addition for scoring film, television, or any project that benefits from the weight and character of bell sounds.
