Chroma Bells invites you into the sonorous world of hand bells with a meticulously crafted library for Kontakt. This collection includes 12 beautifully tuned steel, brass, and bronze bells sourced from cultural capitals such as England, India, China, and Tibet. Each bell brings its unique character, resonating with either a bright or dark timbre, providing composers and sound designers a diverse array of tones suitable for everything from melodic compositions to atmospheric sound effects.
