Experience the captivating resonance of the Soundiron Circle Bells, a virtual instrument that brings the rare and enchanting sounds of the Blossom Bells to your creative projects. Created by renowned metal artisan Pete Engelhart, these six hand-welded, steel conical bells offer a unique sonic palette that sets them apart from traditional percussion instruments. Whether you're crafting ambient soundscapes or adding a touch of ethereal beauty to your compositions, Circle Bells delivers an unparalleled auditory experience with its warm, sonorous tones and long, shimmering sustain.

The Circle Bells library provides extensive sampling of each bell using three distinct playing techniques: soft mallets, hard picks, and viola bow. With a comprehensive range of articulations, from staccatos to rolls, this Kontakt instrument captures every nuance and variation, offering you a level of realism that feels as if you’re playing the original instrument yourself. Each note resonates with a deep blend of overtones, akin to a steel Marimbaphone or Celeste, and when bowed, it evokes the mesmerizing hum of a glass armonica.

Designed for musicians and composers alike, Circle Bells includes a robust set of features that enhance your creative possibilities. The flexible multi-layer user interface and full FX rack empower you to shape and sculpt your sound with ease, while the inclusion of ambient patches and sound-designed FX opens up a world of sonic exploration.
