Orange Tree Samples has released Angelic Chimes, a struck chimes sample library for Kontakt.
The chimes were sampled in collaboration with Lujon Audio at WaterSound Studios in Studio City, California, the same studio where Orange Tree Samples' Pure Jazz Vibes and Paradise Marimba sample libraries were recorded. Like the vibes and marimba libraries, Angelic Chimes features close, mid, and far mic signals, giving you control over the tone of the chimes. That way you can get anything from a close, dry tone, to a distant sound that mixes well with large ensembles.
The library consists of six sets of chimes covering bass, baritone, tenor, alto, soprano, and sopranino ranges. These sets of chimes are available as a single, combined playable patch as well individual ranges mapped across the entire keyboard. It also has the ability to extend the playable range to cover the entire keyboard, stretching the samples as necessary to access pitches outside of the naturally-sampled notes.
Key features:
- Nearly 10 GB of uncompressed samples, recorded in 24-bit, 48kHz.
- Six sets of chimes: bass, baritone, tenor, alto, soprano, and sopranino.
- Adjustable close, mid, and far mic position signals.
- Four dynamic layers with up to 6x alternating round-robin samples.
Price: $99. There is an introductory price of $79 until May 15th, 2015. Angelic Chimes requires the full retail version of Native Instruments Kontakt 4 / 5.
