The blue / green ranges indicate effects and other tonal / atonal sounds. The yellow range indicates a multi-sampled pitched version of the instrument, playable on your keyboard. The range varies depending on the chosen instrument. You will find notes coloured either yellow, blue or green. The basic method of playing Bells & Whistles is to play notes within ranges of the coloured notes.

We undercut our pricing module and then some and still offer the high quality sampling you have come to expect from us. Sonokinetic has established a name as one of the best value & quality sample producers and with this product we’d like to underline that statement. We, at Sonokinetic BV, are very proud to introduce Bells & Whistles to you and can’t wait to hear the amazing things you, our valued customer, will produce with it. These have been categorized into groups and articulations and the tonal whistles have been multi-sampled and turned into playable instruments too. Our fun-house of source instruments include classic slide whistle, duck call, football rattle and flexatone, to name but a few. We’ve taken notes from Tom & Jerry, Mickey & Goofy and Daffy & Bugs and created a crazy cartoon interface with the sounds to match.
Our love of all things animated has inspired Bells & Whistles and within the library you’ll find many familiar effects, which have been heard for decades in vintage film animation, TV stop motion and everything in between. For this production, we’ve thrown our toys out of the pram… and sampled them all! Here’s a treasure trove of bells, whistles, rattles, special percussion, animal calls and lots of other crazy musical toys that we could get our hands on.
