So we know that many digital instruments excel at bell sounds, PPG, DX7, D50, SQ80, VS, etc. I have a bell patch on a lowly TG55 that I f00king love. The Poly 800 had a really lovely bell pad that I sampled.
Whilst icy and glassy, such digi-bell sounds can be a little cheesy, and cannot really match analogue bell sounds for sheer haunting beauty, especially through a nice reverb, and a raw, rough-around the edges appeal.
So what are your favourite recipes for analog bell sounds? I'd like to use some of them and explore this territory on the following synths:
Mono/Poly - XMOD, Ultra fast LFO permits VCF and VCO FM, Filter self oscillates beautifully, without any volume drop or tone-eating, a pure sine wave.
Matrix 6 - Filter FM, extensive envelopes and ramps for honing those attack transients.
MFB Dominion 1 - Proper VCO/VCF FM via VCO, Multimode Filter, Ring Mod.
Jupiter 6 - XMOD, Multimode Filter
Figuring I should be able to get a nice bell sound out of at least one of them, whether it be the tubular type or the more ethereal glassy one.
If this goes well we can potentially start more specific threads, synthesist think tanks on your favourite ways of doing pads, or brass or percussion, I have some cool tricks for percussion that I can share, especially ride cymbals and claps :)
