The magic of metal notes in your DAW
The glockenspiel, which literally means “chimes” in German, is a percussion musical instrument consisting of a set of metal plates arranged like a piano keyboard. Hitting these plates with special mallets creates a ringing, clear tone that quickly fades. Thanks to its unique timbre, the glockenspiel is often used to emphasize melodies, create atmospheric effects, as well as in children’s music or cinematic soundtracks, where a sense of wonder, lightness or dreaminess is needed.
The VSCO2 Glockenspiel plugin carefully reproduces this unique sound using samples recorded by the talented team of Versilian Studios under the direction of Sam Gossner. This ensures high sound quality and realism of the instrument’s reproduction. The use of samples allows you to preserve the natural nuances and character of the original instrument, conveying all its ringing beauty without a synthetic taste.
