I don't know exactly what you're looking for, but if it's similar to the
church bell type sounds I did in a demo up on the MOTM site I gave the
general outline on the TGS board. Below was cut from there:

To get a fuller and more realistic bell tone I feed two oscs into the X and
two into the Y portion of a ring mod. I start with square waves. It took a
bit of playing with osc freqs to get the sound I wanted. Then I moved from
sqare to some percentage of pulse in one of the oscs which gave it an even
better sound. Trying that in the other 3 oscs made it worse. Then I went
through an EG controlled filter and VCA and I'm done. - Forgot to mention
about the bell tone that I also went through a second filter with a medium
resonance setting and the cutoff pulled down a bit. (this last part gave it
a little more resonant and nasal tone)
