Sleigh Bells - A Freebie Christmas Kontakt Instrument By Sonokinetic

Sleighbells by Sonokinetic.

Sonokinetic has released Sleigh Bells, a free sound library for Native Instruments Kontakt featuring tempo-synced loops and one shots of Christmas bells.

What does every Christmas track need but has been sadly overlooked by most sample developers? Sleigh Bells. What are Sonokinetic going to do about it? Program a ridiculously comprehensive collection of tempo-synced sleigh bells and give it to you for FREE as an extra special Xmas gift.

Sleigh Bells is available for free download via Sonokinetic (408 MB download size, RAR archive, contains 305 audio samples in 24-bit AIFF format, 1 instrument patch in NKI format for Native Instruments Kontakt 4 & 5).

Please note that you’ll need to register for a free account at Sonokinetic in order to download the pack. The registration is completely free (email sign up is not obligatory) and you’ll get the download link right away in your browser window. To use the samples, simply extract the provided RAR archive.

The provided samples sound great and the custom Kontakt instrument panel features controls for selecting different sleigh bells on the go. The loops sound very natural (there are up to 41 round robin layers per sample!) and will sync to your host’s tempo automatically. All included sounds are completely royalty free.

What’s even better is that Sonokinetic has included raw AIFF audio files in the download pack, which means that you can use these samples even if you’re not a Kontakt user. If you’re looking for a freeware sampler for your studio, check out our nifty list of free samplers.
