Watch Bloom Vocal Aether in Action
No more searching through vocal samples, with Bloom: Vocal Aether, you can switch between phrases to create unique hooks, build huge FX modulation to pull your listeners in and transform it all with a chain of vocal-specific processors.
Choosing the perfect vocals for your project is now a playable and spontaneous experience, with easy keyboard control over triggering sounds and modifying their properties. Four macro controls handle immediate processing, while the Edit page opens up in-depth possibilities, with precise control over sample editing, phrase performance, and effects across 250 presets.
How it Works
Choose your key signature, select a bank of samples or a preset and trigger one of 14 bpm-synced phrases spread across 2 octaves. White notes trigger samples and loops, while black notes change properties like playback speed and tuning as well as trigger custom-made sequences and effect modulation. Four macro controls command a curated chain of effects, their settings expertly tuned to samples that form the instrument.
The Main Page
There are eight banks of sounds to choose from, and the sounds in each bank can be mapped to any of the 14 white notes. Each sound in each bank, triggered by a MIDI white note, plays a sample that can also be incorporated into a sequence by the Phrase Player. As well as triggering samples, this Phrase Player also has the ability to control and modulate effects properties, making each bank capable of an enormous range of sounds.

The Edit Page: Create Something Unique
Bloom: Vocal Aether’s Edit page also lets you take ultimate control over its sample material, allowing you to tweak any of the existing sounds and make them your own.
In the Sample Edit panel, you can change how the 14 source samples in a bank behave. Set sample start and end points, trigger type, playback direction and speed. Sample properties like pitch and fine-tuning, formant control, and attack and release are all available, alongside choke grouping.
The Phrase Player sequences sample playback, and has multiple modes of operation. Assign one of the five black keys to trigger a pattern of samples and create curves for pitch, velocity, hi- and lo-cut filters, and all three effects.
Complex setups are straightforward, letting you trigger various samples and evolve their properties over the length of each sequence. Traditional arpeggiator functions like Rate, Latching and Swing mean you’ll be in familiar territory.
Bloom: Vocal Aether’s effects include Excite Audio’s proprietary Delay, Reverb and Modulation algorithms as well as global Filters, Tone, Dry and Wet parameters. These rearrangeable effects modules let you refine and transform your vocal phrases in a completely new direction. Each effect puts its main controls upfront but is expandable for deeper programming.
