Soundiron tells us that they have a fun new library for you, for free. they describe Desk Bell as a deeply sampled brass desk bell, occasionally known as the call bell or table bell. It's built for the full retail version of Kontakt 5.5 or later.
A spokesperson told us, "This little bell has a special place in our hearts. It was given as an award to Mike's mom for her years of service as an elementary school teacher. We sampled this wonderful little 3-inch polished brass desk bell up-close in a dry studio, as well as in St Paul's Church, a cathedral located in San Francisco. It's the same lush and pristine hall that we recorded Requiem Light Choir, Symphony Series Brass, Alpha Organ and many more. We also hand-crafted 20 unique sound-designed ambient pads, textural soundscapes, and included 26 custom fx presets for you to jump start the creative process. Packed with features and rack effects, this 500 MB instrument offers endless creative possibilities!"
