I've been dawdling around in FL Studio 12 quite a bit and I finally got around to being able to do everything I wanted to, so I wanted to create my first "legit" track.

After looking for a bit, I decided I wanted to make something chilly / ambient, something you would hear in an ice level in video games.

Problem is, I want to use an instrument that I do not know the name of.

If you need a sample (of course you do), check out the Meteos OST for Cavious on YouTube (I can't post links yet)

it's pretty low in quality, but it's the main Instrument I need.

Thanks in advance!
 
Off the top of head, use some lead synth sound with long release, but EQ off a bit of the bass and throw in a long, high pass filtered reverb to get that icy sound. Peep Frost Walrus Stage soundtrack from Megaman X4.
 
I'm pretty sure that the instrument you are looking for is a gamelan metallophone (metal xylophone/glock-type instrument used in gamelan music from Indonesia).
