Product Overview

Tubular Bells II marks a decade of development in sampling and recording, offering a refined library of tubular bells. It features four mic positions and a variety of articulations, including realistic damper behavior, which enhances the instrument's expressive capabilities.

Details

The library includes three distinct sets of tubular bells, each sampled in different environments, providing a range of tonal qualities and dynamics. Articulations encompass normal hits, soft hits with large mallets, and finger taps, allowing for both subtle and pronounced performances. The close mic positions capture intricate details, while mid-distance and ambient options provide a fuller sound. This flexibility is complemented by a new GUI that enhances control over the instrument's character.

Realistic release samples are included, triggering upon note release or sustain pedal use, which adds to the authenticity of the performance. The SFZ format ensures compatibility across various platforms, while lossless FLAC compression maintains high quality with reduced file sizes. Overall, Tubular Bells II is well-suited for cinematic scoring, where the unique tonal qualities of tubular bells can add depth and atmosphere to compositions.
