Bellforge

Weld custom bells using classic modal synthesis

With complete control of volume, panning, and resonance, users can create unique bells of up to 24 resonant filters.  You can use an impulse, bow, or an input to excite the partials of your bell in a dynamic way. 

Craft immersive sound sculptures

Bellforge has both a standard stereo io but also has a 24 channel mode so that users can control the specialization of every partial with their favorite specialization plugin.  Input sounds can also be set to multichannel to allow for excitation that mix with specific partials.
