I love the sound of mellotrons. Those round tape tones make everything feel cozy and nostalgic. So I tried to make something kind of like that with stuff I had around the studio.
I recorded a saxonet (a small reed instrument that is shaped like a recorder and sounds like a clarinet) into an old tape recorder I've been carrying around for more than 15 years.
Then I cut the recordings up and put them in Kotakt and Ableton patches so you can use them in your own recordings.
There are 5 patches with varying amounts of wind and noise.
Let me know if you use them somewhere.
If you want to hear our real songs. We have lots of melodies here:

I made a sample library out of so many bells.
There are some colorful cute hand bells, a beautiful bell tree toy that used to sit in our sons window until he got too big for it, the entrance bell to our buddys bed and breakfast at a cabin in the mountains in Nagano, Japan, another big bell recorded at a campsite, some bicycle bells at the park, a special patch recorded onto an old Reader’s Digest cassette recorder from decades ago, and even a really dreamy patch made by looping just the soft sustains of a bell to get gorgeous drones.
I turned them into 10 patches for Native Instruments Kontakt, Ableton Live (Simpler and Sampler), the OP-1 by Teenage engineering, and even the original sample files are in there in case you want to import them into any other kind of sampler like fruity loops, logic or cubase.
I know bells aren’t the type of instrument you need to use every day, but maybe there will be some project that needs the melody doubled up with a ring or click-y attack tone. Or maybe you are doing some sound design for alarms or something and you need a rattling sound to grab people’s attention. Anyway, I hope somehow someday they help you make some nice melodies!
Let me know if you use them in something cool.
High fives,
Shawn / Lullatone
