Here comes the third release of our new ‘Groove Butter’ series. The Bells features 85 different bell presets made from 2597 carefully recorded one shot samples.

Agogo Bells, Cowbells recorded with microphones and Cowbells sampled from machines. The drums are playable over four octaves. All presets are velocity sensitive in a very musical way and also tuned. We have recorded a lot of different drum machines in the last years and now selected some of the rare ones and run them through our saturation, compressing, cleaning process and finally built a nice GUI for you to have lots of fun by turning 44 knobs to get a satisfying beat making experience.

There are some totally clean and classic sounding bells and also some which we have hardly overworked to get some more modern or aggressive results to fill the toolbox for different music genres too.

Add some extra drama by using the pitch bend in combination with some of the useful effects you got here in a very handy and intuitive GUI design.

This time you have 25 Agogo Bell presets, 30 Cowbell presets sampled from machines and 30 Cowbell presets made from 4 different real Cowbells (2x Meinl, 1x Latin Percussion, 1x Unknown) recorded with different Mics.

You have the possibility to make the sound more epic and stereo by using the reverb, delay and flanger section. Here you can go real crazy if you want to.

In the mid section of the instrument you will find some more tone focused effects like a compressor, a saturation unit, a powerful overdrive / distortion section and finally the low and high pass filters. On the left side of the instrument you have a few knobs to build up the total shape and mood of the drum sound by using tune, amplitude and pitch envelopes, a section to manage the speed of the sample and also a very useful transient shaper to add some extra attack and punch to the drums.
