AuthorTopic: A particular bell sample.

Posted: 1st June 2003 13:51
Hi folks! I'm in a dire need of this bell sample. I've roamed the internet looking for this particular bell sample but to no avail. So I come here to ask the experts if they have/know what bell this is.

http://members.rogers.com/dc-/bells.mp3

The sample is from an old psy-trance track and weighs in at 115kb.

Any help is GREATLY appreciated, thanks in advance!

Wow, that’s what I call quick service – nice one, jdg. Smile

ArneyS,

They’re called tubular bells (made famous by Mike Oldfield Wink ). If you’re into soundfonts you might want to go to www.thesoundsite.net and do a search for ”tubular”. You’ll find a number of downloadable soundfonts with this type of bell.

Wow very close indeed, unfortunately there's some quality issues Sad I've tried cleaning it up to get rid of the distortion at the beginning but with no luck. But that seems to be the bell sound I'm looking for!

It seems that they dont want to download via IE, i have to use a download manager such as flashget.

I got them all now, playing around to see which one suits the original best!

Seems like the bell i'm after is the Campana Tubular Bell, the samples seem very low quality tho, they seem to be at 22khz as they lack that nice cruncy high sound.

At www.wizoosounds.com they've got smaller sample sets for sale. This is an example of a tubular bells set:

http://www.wizoosounds.com/demos/Tubullar_Bell.mp3

It's probably higher quality than the free soundfonts (it's got 2 velocity layers) but it's gonna cost you 1,99 euro Wink

Good luck, I've got to turn in now - got an early start tomorrow.

Soundsite has a limited server. Get a manager which will repeat request a list of files & set it to one link at a time only.

bram's bimbam link is great! to have separate samples for each note for 4/5 octaves is pretty cool!

thx!

I don't know if this is true, but I always thought the first sound on the D-50 (Fantasia) was based on my Tubular Bells sound. If you play Tubular Bells on the D-50 it sounds exactly like it.
