Winterbells

About
Winterbells is a deeply sampled festive collection of concert sleighbells, jingle bells, bell hoops, horse reins, logging wagon bells, bell strips and ropes in a wide variety of shapes and sizes, from tiny to huge and everywhere in between. The logging bells are cast bronze bells in various pitches that were mounted to a steel rail on logging wagons and trucks in the late 1800s. Their brash tone served to warn travelers of the approaching wagons on the winding mountain roads in the days before electric horns. The softball sized giant rope bells are clustered on joined rope braids so they strike against each other when shaken, and have a low, dark, dull percussive tone. The Bell strip has a distinct horse bridle bell sound which works great for tuned percussion. The bell hoop has a tamborine-like quality, while the star bells have a crisp, thin, high pitched washy tone - and that's just the beginning!

The Kontakt interface includes a suite of automation-ready sound-shaping controls to give you total creative flexibility. You have control over swell, attack, release, offset, vibrato, filter, pitch (coarse & fine), articulation switching, cross-fading and layering, and so much more. We've also included 20 unique sound-designed custom FX presets to give you lots of creative options. This library comes with an adaptable LFO system, with selectable LFO shape, modulation target parameter, speed, intensity, tempo-syncing and fade-in time. You can also apply your choice of 12 lowpass, high-pass and FX filters, with assignable modulation targets such as velocity, modwheel, expression, after-touch, key position and step-sequencer table control. Our customizable arpeggiator offers a velocity table and control over arp direction, timing, swing, randomization and duration. We’ve included a key and scale lock system to constrain your notes to common scales and keys for easy melodic composition and live performance. The interface is rounded-out by our modular FX rack panel, with 18 different DSP effect modules that you can assign in any of 10 available slots, in any order that you wish. You’ll find classic phaser, flanger, delay, distortion, amp and cab simulators, compressors, EQ, rotator and so much more. The Reverb effect includes our favorite convolution reverb impulse responses, including 99 different rooms, halls, chambers and outdoor environments, plus another 40 custom FX impulses to radically transform the sound and open up whole new worlds of musical possibility. We’ve added a great bank of FX rack chain factory presets to get you started!
