Glitter – Shimmer & Sparkle Sound Effects Library + Glitter Tool

Glitter is a collection of chimes, bells, metal jingles, magic shimmers and win sounds. Designed to add sparkle, reward and magic to modern sound design.

All non-continuous sounds include 9 variations for more realism and less repetition.

From single wind chime strikes and bell tree glisses to crystal risers, gem dust, shimmer washes and jackpot wins, Glitter covers the bright end of the spectrum. Perfect for games, slots, UI, fantasy, trailers and anything that needs to shine.

Glitter comes with the Glitter Tool: a sound design tool built on the library itself. Pick a preset, press Render, and it builds a new shimmer, reward, magic hit or sparkle bed out of the Glitter recordings, then exports it as a UCS-named, fully tagged WAV. The library gives you the sounds. The tool gives you the ones that are not in it yet.

Included: the Glitter Tool

One HTML file. Double-click it, link your Glitter folder, and you have a sparkle instrument that renders straight from the recordings. No install, no account, no internet, and nothing ever leaves your computer.

Eight layers: a hit, a grain cloud built from real take onsets, a bar-chime sweep chosen from 70 recordings, two layers for whole takes, a gesture, a sub foundation and a shimmer stage, through an envelope and a modulated reverb.
Three modes: Atonal never plays a tune, so what you make sits under music in any key. Shimmer and Combine open the whole library, for washes and blooms or for hybrids of several materials.
Twelve macros as the short way in: Glitter, Sparkle, Depth, Scatter, Wideness, Magic, Luxury, Space, Tilt, Length, Pitch and Peak. Every parameter underneath is there when you want it.
42 presets, from Gem reveal, Small win and Jackpot bloom to Coin cascade, Glass rain, Pixie trail, Wind chime garden and Fairy dust loop. Save your own.
Randomize for sounds you would not have dialed in, with locks for what you want to keep.
Seamless loop for shimmer beds: exactly the length you set, with no seam.
Export sets: nine files that are nine performances of one object, not one sound nine times.
Every export is a 24-bit WAV at 96 kHz (or 48 kHz), UCS-named, with full BWF, iXML and RIFF metadata.
Analysis built in: waveform, spectrum against the library average, spectrogram, goniometer, true peak and loudness. Envelope and EQ are graphs you drag.

Runs in your browser on Windows or Mac. Recommended browsers: Chrome and Edge. The Glitter Tool and the sounds you render with it are licensed on the same terms as the library.

About Glitter

Glitter is built for the moments that need to sparkle: a reward, a reveal, a spell, a win. It is designed for sound designers working in games, film, trailers and UI.

With consistent round-robin variation and a tool that builds the sounds that are not in the box, Glitter keeps bright, repeated sounds from ever feeling repetitive.
