Wavesfactory W-TubularBells [Kontakt]

Tubular Bells, or Orchestral Chimes, are musical instruments in the percussion family. Each bell is a metal tube, 30–38 mm in diameter, tuned by altering its length. It rarely plays melody, mostly a bass that brings out some color but sometimes has some solos or solis, often very simple.

4 different mallets:

• Hard = hard plastic
• Sharp = metal
• Soft = felp
• Thin = thin metal

Up to 12x round robin (repetitions), 2 microphone positions (close, far). AKG-414s placed near the instrument, and a Neumann binaural microphone placed 3 meters away. You can crossfade between the two position right in the GUI.
Note damping, round robin reset and extended note range controls using keyswitches.

This is a must have in your orchestral template, no other library will give you this crystal clear sound, options and functionality.
