Triumph Audio Bars KONTAKT
Welcome to Bars, the second installment in our acclaimed Authentic Series — a dynamic collection of deeply sampled tonal percussion instruments that includes Glockenspiel, Chinese Chimes, Tibetan Bells, and the charming Tiny Marimba.
Each instrument has been meticulously struck, bowed, and performed to capture its full expressive range, giving you maximum playability, detail, and musical flexibility.
Sonic Detail Meets Playability
Recorded in stereo on Triumph Studio’s scoring stage, both the Glockenspiel and Chinese Chimes feature a groundbreaking MOD MIC system — use your mod wheel to seamlessly crossfade between close and room microphone perspectives in real time.
Our powerful Transpose (TRP) function lets you effortlessly shift pitches, unlocking new sonic possibilities — particularly magical when applied to bell-like instruments.
