Yeah, a bit of a departure from my waveshaping projects, but here's a nice load of bells for ye!
OK, it looks like this ...
... typical tattiemannie skin! No fartin about! If Picasso did skins, he would do the same ... and save his artistic talent for paintings, and let the artistic/musical critics say what they like .... knowing they'll come around eventually
And so to the plug.
.. just to wind up Bones and others on another thread ... its an additive!!! ... it adds stuff! ... in this case, a chain of 6 ring mods, each with the signal from the previous one 'modded' with the pitch of 'wave 1'.
Yup sounds crazy, but it works!
Wave 2 pitch is labelled 'tun +' ... thats because its pitch is added to wave 1 .... yeah, even more addition! ... bear in mind, this control will have a cumulative and exponential effect on what the RM chain will produce.
For this reason, I have added a Lo cut to the filter, because in some circumstances, whilst testing, I was distracted by things falling of shelves whilst reassuring myself there was no history of earthquakes in my locality!
So anyway, theres nothing else remotely complicated about it, so click one of the links on my sig, download, check the presets, fart them around a bit, and have fun!!!
As always, feedback will be appreciated, and acted upon.

....And a wee side-note ... all 24 patches have roughly the same adsr ... bell like, fast attack, short to mod delay, a bit of sus, and a fair degree of release.
I've not tried to do anything but bell/chime sounds here ... but!
I think there's a lot of scope to create other dissonant/metallic/resonant/strange sounds with this beast ...so tweakers, go for it and have fun!

Cheers for trying it out, I've been trying out some different settings to produce other than bell sounds, and combining waves other than sines and the occasional triangle .... it's certainly different, thats for sure!
The CPU is lower than I expected, never more than 2%, and staying at 1% for the vast majority of the time while played.
Good for deep n' dirty sounds, and harsh noisy stuff!
I'm thinking, since some of those bell presets are quite similar, I should limit them to the first 12 presets, and create different types of sound from 13 to 24 .... what do you think?
Optomadic .... I did a bit of morphing with it, and i'm now not so sure if morphing is a good idea .... some of the sounds and levels created as sounds are morphed through are thoroughly unpleasant, and just a bit frightening for me

Cheers Francisco, yeah I use Arphur a lot! .... sometimes as a filler, or othertimes when I'm not sure how to proceed with a part/arrangement, I add a simple string of notes and play around with Arphurs settings, and ideas start to flow again.
Glad you like it .... you might want to try using it followed by 'multisweepfx' .... a lovely strange combo!

Thanks! Last night my partner in BIOnighT and I used your bell synth for a brief intro on one of our tracks, just a few seconds for now, but I'm sure we'll use it a lot more in the future (he's got a passion for bells, and and I love those weird metallic sounds with a slow attack)
Here's a few of my tracks in return for your synths:

Mac of BIOnight .... Cheers for the tracks! Very generous of you
I'm always open to suggestion re. any modifications/improvements/additions to plugs ... so if there's any feature you think would make the plug even more useful to you, then please fire away.
All the best with future recordings.
