2 - Platinum supports two full five octave keyboards for simultaneous Carillon and Harp performance and recording.
3 - As of this specification date, Platinum comes with 13 clock chiming melodies
4 - Music can be played on any included bell instrument except swinging bell instruments
5 - Premium Chime.Center can be used to expand available ringing functions: Select tolling bell and number of strikes. Combine swinging bells into peals. Create new sequences for Angelus or time strike melodies. Set tempos and durations.
