Suitable for any genre, or just to add a bit of ambience in your mix, this is a completely analogue cowbell sound. OSC tune knobs change the combined pitch of the body; AM control knob on OSC1 varies its struck tone.

KlingKlang is a vst that is a simple drum hit generator that was created by reusenoise for the 2012 KVR developer challenge.

I've used it to generate some random sounds which I've created in a pcmsynth on every note from c1 to b5 giving 60 in total.

These are most suited to a glitch / industrial type of sound but could be used to make percussive loops as well.

Between marimba and kalimba...
