Noah Bells Black Friday pricing is $19.50, 50% off, until Dec 6, 2026, on Soundiron's tuned percussion library of 21 Indian Khadki bells for Kontakt and Decent Sampler.
The bells are hand-crafted from copper and other metals, which gives them a golden or bronze hue. They run from over two feet across down to less than an inch, each with a carved wooden clapper.
According to its maker, Noah Bells sounds dark and gritty, carrying a weighty low and mid register, a sustain that shifts from note to note, and layered harmonics both above and below the pitch.
Soundiron recorded each bell at multiple velocities with plenty of round-robin variation. The Noah Bells VST-style instrument covers:
Two mic perspectives are included. One is close and dry in wide stereo. The other is from far away in a large open cathedral sanctuary, St Paul's church in San Francisco. Blend the two to get a tight, direct bell or one with a long room tail.
The interface has automation-ready controls for swell, attack, release, offset, vibrato, filter, coarse and fine pitch, articulation switching, cross-fading and layering. There is also an optional sub-synth waveform module for tonal reinforcement.
The LFO system lets you pick the shape, target parameter, speed, intensity, tempo sync and fade-in time. Twelve filters are available across low-pass, high-pass and effect types, and their cutoff can be driven by playing dynamics, the mod wheel, expression pedal, channel pressure, where on the keyboard you play, or a table running from the step sequencer.
The step-sequencing arpeggiator has a velocity table plus control over direction, timing, swing, randomization and duration. A key and scale lock keeps your notes inside common scales for easier melodic writing and live playing.
The modular FX rack offers 27 DSP modules across 8 slots, in any order. It includes phaser, flanger, delay, distortion, amp and cab simulators, compressors, EQ and a rotator.
The convolution reverb carries 99 impulse responses of rooms, halls, chambers and outdoor spaces, plus 40 custom FX impulses for heavier sound design. A bank of FX chain factory presets is included to start from.
The.nki presets need the full retail version of Native Instruments Kontakt 6.2.2 or later. The free Kontakt Player and the Add Library import process do not support these open-format libraries. The.dspreset presets need the free Decent Sampler engine.
Yes. The Noah Bells Black Friday deal is 50% off, bringing the Soundiron library to $19.50, and it ends Dec 6, 2026. The price covers the full library with both the Kontakt and Decent Sampler presets.
Noah Bells holds 21 Kontakt.nki presets, 12 Decent Sampler presets and 1,768 stereo.WAV samples at 3.31 GB installed. It also has 34 ambient pads and drones, plus mallet, finger, brush and slap articulations.
No. The maker says the.nki presets need the full retail Kontakt 6.2.2 or later, and the free Player and Add Library import do not support them. The Decent Sampler presets run in the free Decent Sampler engine.
It has a 27-module FX rack with 8 slots, a convolution reverb with 99 impulse responses and 40 FX impulses, an LFO system, 12 filters and a step-sequencing arpeggiator. Swell, attack, release and vibrato sit on the front panel.
