please ignore previous comment.
Does not work.
// Problems:
// Code does not works as expected (one error message, and it makes the wrong sound)
// SynthDef arguments are not used anywhere in the body of the SynthDef
// SinOsc.ar has been fed wrong arguments (lines 26-27). By using fixed numbers there, you are ignoring any value the Pbind will send. Your synth will always play a single note at the same amplitude. All the freqs that would make up a bell remain unused.
// Amplitude Envelope is not used correctly: you create it almost correctly, although the end of line 21 should be amp * relativeAmps to be 100% correct. However, even if that was correct, you do not use env later in the code. So the envelope is created, and remains unused.
// Multichannel expansion is not employed correctly. By not using relativeAmps and partials correctly, no multichannel expansion occurs.
// Example Pbind produces wrong sound.
