Wind Chimes
Three sets of different wind chimes. For each set you have a looping sample as though the set of chimes was blowing in the wind. Then also one separate sample for each chime. I've put the loop on the far left key of each group and placed them on the keyboard so they're in the same order and approximate colour as the image.
The story
Having used others samples in my composing for a long time. I’d often wondered how to make my own. Then along came Decent Sampler (Thanks Dave) and I thought, why not give it a go.
This is just from some wind chimes my wife bought that hang in our garden which we think sound nice so I thought it might add to the collective soundscape and someone might find them useful in their compositions.

Really Helpful
The chimes sounded great and I used them to add the tiny bit of flair that my sound was missing, they integrated very well!
Cheeky Chimes
Well recorded producing a simple but pure sound. No frills which I like. The round robins introduce a really nice random motor element to the pack which increases the charm. The only thing for me is that to my mind the two chimes should be the other way around on the keyboard. The ones lower on the keyboard seem higher in pitch or at least more shrill but realistically...who cares.
Lots of great potentail and inspiration
But the high peaks are hitting too hard for me, and the UI offers too few options to adjust peaks, tones, etc. It's also too active (too many chimes chiming at once), and again, no way to adjust that. The sounds don't seem to adhere to the velocity (dynamics) or note lengths of the MIDI clips. And since it's so active, it also doesn't sound natural. The EQing is spot on, except for the peaking on the highs.
