Just a guess... Try to Google for something like "bell synthesis -labs -speech". http://www.acoustics.hut.fi/demos/dafx02/ http://www.crca.ucsd.edu/~msp/techniques/latest/book-html/node67.html http://www.ec.vanderbilt.edu/computermusic/musc216site/Simple.bell.tutorial.html Alternatively, buy some books on synthesis methods - visit your local bookshop/library and take your time! I remember studying one at University which described methods of synthesising different percussive sounds, but I can't remember the details. Have a go! You might fins a sound which you like even more... Michael
