Sound banks - Tubular Bells/Philharmonic Chimes???

Hey everybody, I'm looking for a specific sound bank. On the Xpand plug-in for Pro Tools, there is a sound bank called "Tubular Bells." This is an example of what I'm looking for, but that sound bank sounds TERRIBLE! The bells have WAY too many overtones, they sound airy, and very FM Radio-like. Can anybody recommend an amazing sound bank for "tubular bells" or philharmonic chimes. Basically to describe them if you still don't know what I mean, they are the thick, hanging chimes that are used in an orchestra, hit by big mallets. Any suggestions for great MIDI sound banks for this??

you are probably not getting any replies because you are asking for an obscure sound bank on a platform that most of the users on this section probably don't use (pro tools). most of these folks are using logic, cubase, abbleton or reaper,some dp. So, can't answer with a solution until there is one.

If you don't like the ones you currently have, you should consider using a DX7 FM synth with some effects. Probably the best tubular bells available.

cool thanks. Well I was describing the sound, but some people might not have understood that. Program doesn't matter, that wasn't the point. However, as long as I can find an authentic tubular bell LIBRARY that I can use with my MIDI keyboard, that's what I'm searching for...So if anybody knows, please feel free to post. It would help me greatly.

If you start listening at :38, you can hear the bell sound I'm looking for.
