Noah Bells

Indian Khadki bells in ascending size and pitch

The Noah Bells library features 21 authentic Indian Khadki bells, each hand-crafted from copper and other metals, with sizes ranging from over two feet to less than an inch in diameter. These bells have a dark, raspy tone with complex overtones, a heavy low and mid-range body, and variable sustain. Recorded with multiple velocities and round-robin variations, they offer a dynamic and playable experience.

Captured both up close and dry in wide stereo, and from a distance in a large cathedral for distinct tonal and atmospheric textures, this library gives you a wide range of sounds to choose from. The intuitive Kontakt interface includes controls for swell, attack, release, pitch, vibrato, articulation, and more. Additional features include a sub-synth module, LFO system, 12 filter types, and an advanced arpeggiator.

The FX rack offers 27 DSP effects, such as phaser, flanger, delay, distortion, and reverb, with 99 convolution reverb impulses and 40 custom FX to reshape the sound. With a key and scale lock system for easy composition and live performance, this library delivers rich, versatile sonic possibilities.
