Belltron Quasimodo digital bells / carillon

This Italian-made device was built in the late 1980's and contains 48 bell sounds which can be programmed to strike or peal in any combination. That is, when the amplifier decides to work. It has a very good tone quality for it's age, and requires a degree in computer history to program. The Westminster chimes in the background are coming from a mantel clock nearby. I programmed the Salve Regina melody as a clock tune to be a better alternative to the ubiquitous Westminster melody.

If you mean the instruction manual, it was sent to me a few months ago as a PDF from Belltron and there is no date on it.

I don't know what it cost. My church bought it back in the 1980's and, until now, has not used it since about 2000.

I don't think this basic model has the tone of a dead-hung bell. All the preprogrammed hymns have this Doppler effect.

Is there a copyright date on any of the documentation?

@Audinos AKA swinging bells

[helpdesklarry]

We have a unit like this in a church we purchased. There is no documentation on it. Do you have anything in digital form on yours? I think the model we have is close enough that the instructions may work. I would appreciate anything you can do. Thanks.

Campane simulate?

It played the tune bit at the beginning with bell soundfiles that had the doppler effect of a swinging bell on them... unusual but not unpleasant effect.
