Ocean Swift has announced the release of a free compact, yet potent Kontakt NKS instrument for generating unique, randomized bell and chime tones.
The asymmetric dual-layer engine of Tyrian Tine pairs a wavetable oscillator – with purposeful instability, morphing, and controlled randomization – with a sample oscillator curated from bells, kalimbas, music boxes, and other metallic oddities. The result ranges from crystalline fantasy tintinnabulation to gritty, bronze-like strikes and haloed sci-fi swells.
Tyrian Tine lives where chapel glass meets starship hulls. Play a note and bells bloom like constellations; strikes flare, then drift into haloed swells that hang in the air like omens. It feels less like triggering samples and more like waking a signal – intimate one moment, cathedral-wide the next, always poised on the edge of a story. Tyrian Tine doesn’t just make bells – it sketches scenes: ruined kingdoms, cold moons, quiet victories.
Tyrian Tine is free to download and is compatible with Native Instruments’ Kontakt Player (also free).
