i'm currently looking for a specific instrument!

[nova bison]

im looking for an instrument in charli xcx's "nuclear seasons", its a high pitched bell at the beginning of the song: https://soundcloud.com/vnx-xcx/charli-xcx-nuclear-seasons-official-instrumental-1

its also used in the song's hook, and its present in a lot of kirby game OSTs!

sound like some form of glockenspiel synth

like a dx7 with reverb and staccato articulation
for instance this video around 1:20: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ntn3CBJjsrw
(but he plays legato, but if it was staccato, with a bit of tuning, would easily get the result you're looking for)

have you got any ideas of how id be able to recreate this sound in garageband on mac?

I don't use garage band, so I don't know what's included with it, but maybe try this: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/251608835?sortBy=rank
