In this video tutorial, we will make a bell sound in Phase Plant using the Noise Generator OSC.

Phase Plant from kiloHearts is a powerhouse of a VSTi Plugin. It has everything to begin with, but if you can get the extra “snapins” to add to it…. OMG.

While I was checking out some presets in Phase Plant the other day, I came across a really great sounding one and upon further inspection, I noticed that the principle – no, the only – oscillator drive the synth was the Noise Generator.

Incredible, I thought to myself and quickly set out to reverse engineer it.

While the original sounds far better than mine and what I will show you in the tutorial, you will learn the fundamentals on how to get a playable pitched bell sound using the Noise Generator and the Slice EQ.

*note | the Slice EQ doesn’t come in the base model of Phase Plant. You can buy it on its own or in a bigger version of the synth.

The Process of Turning Noise into a Pitch

Launch a blank version of Phase Plant and add the Noise Generator OSC. Then pull down its sustain all the way. Play a simple MIDI clip. You should here what sounds like short bursts of noise.

Take moment to find the Decay parameter here too. Later this will be helpful for sculpting the final sound. Perhaps go ahead an pull back on it now, like in the picture below.

Next, add a Slice EQ to the FX Lane 1. Click on the little Pencil to launch the Slice EQ GUI window.

Click in the Spectrum graph to add a filter node. Then click the Fitlers button to view the filter controls. Right-Click the Cutoff and enter 440. This is your standard tuning in the western scale.

Next crank the gain and the Q to 100%. Also, turn the slope all the way up to 96 dB. This will give you a really load boost on the A3 frequency. If you play your MIDI clip, you should hear something like a bell already.

Next, in the modulator section add the Note device form the MIDI section. This device recognizes the MIDI note values on the incoming signal form the MIDI clip or your key board.

Click the + button on it and then the + button on the Cutoff on that first filter node and crank the value to 100%. Now, when you play your MIDI clip or your keyboard that bell sound should get pitched up and down perfectly.

In the video, I don’t stop there. I add a bunch more harmonics to the bell sound, shape it nicely, use the envelope to control the filter nodes’ gain values and much more.

If you are really interested in this stuff, I highly suggest watching the whole video.
