I proudly present "Silver Glockenspiel", a Kontakt based instrument on which I was collaborating with MA-Simon.
The Glockenspiel has been carefully sampled both with mallets and a violin bow.
It was recorded in an acoustically treated room using two AKG Precision microphones.
Within this library you will find Solo and Section Patches.
The Instrument has been sampled cromatically from C3-C5. But the patch has an extended range to G2-C5 for the Mallets and to G2-E5 for the Bowings.
The volume of the Bowed Instruments is controlled with the modwheel.
There are looped and unlooped patches so you can either play the original recorded bowings ore the more smooth and looped ones for more fluid playing.
On the interface there are some handy controls for quick use of:
Attack and Release for all Mallet Patches and Attack, Hold, Decay, Sustain and Release for all the Bowed patches.

The instrument is for sale at sampleism.com for £4.99 (approximately $8 or EU6) which is a steal for this library.

Wow, nice work! It has a lovely sound. If I'm honest, though, it doesn't sound anything like the glock I used to practice on for school band. You can probably take that as a compliment, haha. I'm guessing if you make it out of actual silver it has that nice light sound rather than the dull clanging buzz I remember.

I'm glad that you find the sound lovely :)
The "silver" edition is not really a silver made glockenspiel. It's a normal glockenspiel recorded with a stereo setup (2 mics). We were planning to make a "gold" edition with close and room mics (5 mics) and possibility to mix between those.
