Creating Bell/Chime sound

Hey everyone. I'm just trying to create a bell/chime sound using some VST, but I can't seem to get the right sound out. I'm using 3 triangle waveforms with lots of reverb. I have numerous VST's so if anyone could help me try to create a sound that'd be great. I'm trying to create a somewhat dark yet uplifting club tune.

You really need to use either samples, FM synthesis, or some combination of the two for those types of sounds. Subtractive synths don't cut the mustard.

Some slight ring modulation can help you get those disharmonic overtones as well. But yeah, FM or samples is really the way to go.
