Bloom Palette Object Upgrade from Bloom Palette Object Lite

Upgrade Note: This is an upgrade for owners of Bloom Palette Object Lite. The full version of Bloom Palette Object is also available.

Sequence Organic Sounds

Bloom Palette Object merges organic one-shots and loops from household objects, machinery, and tuned foley with the rich acoustic character of instruments and percussion from around the world - all powered by Excite Audio’s new Sequencer.

Often in digital music, a lack of ‘real’ sounds can lead to lifeless and cold sounding tracks. This versatile instrument is built to bring real-life sounds and textures into your productions inspired by the music of Four Tet, Burial, Fred Again, and more.

Why Upgrade?

Expanded preset and sample library 
Over 150 additional presets and over 50 new foley and instrument samples added to the Bloom instrument.

Sampler Edit 
Fine-tune the samples with in-depth parameters, playback control, and tuning capabilities. 

Sequencer 
A unique approach to programming beats and modulating effects, the sequencer allows you to trigger, and draw sample sequences and modulations.

Effect Sections
Unlock rearrangeable FX modules that can be chained in any combination and tweaked to your taste. 

Object is the first instalment in a new category of Bloom instruments called Palettes designed to combine sounds from multiple sources delivering everything from unique songstarters to detailed ear candy for your music.

The all-new Sequencer enables you to arrange complex patterns, interlocking rhythms, chord progressions, and even sequence complete beats. Unlike traditional sequencers, Bloom has been designed to not only trigger one-shots, but also sequence loops.

Paired with powerful pitch and effect modulation, Bloom Palette Object is the key to giving your music reality.

What Can Bloom Palette Object Do?

• Integrate a wide array of organic sounds into your music.
• Provide inspiration with instant song-starters.
• Sequence complex patterns and rhythms with the new drum sequencer.
• Craft compelling soundscapes and textures inspired by household objects and rare instruments.
• Utilise the three distinct effects and four unique macros for extensive sound manipulation.

Sound Sources

Bloom Palette Object offers a diverse collection of meticulously captured sound sources, blending musical instruments such as the Taishogoto, Vibraphone, and Upright Bass with raw textures of everyday items like Velcro, Glass Bottles, and Mechanical Ratchets.

Recorded by professional foley artists and sound designers, these sounds are perfect for bringing your projects to life with unexpected layers and depth. Some of the sounds include:

• Household Foley
• Mechanical & Electrical Items
• Tuned Foley
• Textures & Noises
• Acoustic Drums & Percussion
• Instrument One-Shots
• Rhythmic Loops
• Melodic Loops

How it Works

Start in your desired tempo, choose a sample bank or preset, and trigger one of 14 bpm-synced samples spread across two octaves. White notes set off drum samples and loops, while black notes alter properties like playback speed and pitch and trigger sequences and effect modulation.

Four powerful macros control a specialised chain of effects, fine-tuned to the diverse sound palette samples that form Bloom Palette Object.

The Main Page

There are eight banks of sounds to choose from - organised into easy to find categories, and the sounds in each bank can be dragged onto any of the 14 white notes.

The Edit Page: Sculpt Your Sound

The Edit page is the central hub for refining and making the library of samples your own. Adjust start and end points, manipulate playback speed and direction, and tweak the timbre with pitch and formant controls.

Sample Edit Section

Unlike traditional sequencers, the Bloom Sequencer is designed for triggering and layering one-shots and looping sequences, allowing for endless rhythmic and melodic creation. In the modulation section, automate pitch, volume, and filter settings as well as three effects to add depth and dimension to your music.

Sequencer in Fullscreen Mode

Bloom Palette Object offers three bespoke effects modules: Noise for adding organic texture and atmospheric layers that respond to your audio. Reverb to create space and depth using Hall, Plate and Spring algorithms from the Lifeline Series. Speaker simulates different reamping techniques and loud speakers, from handheld devices to guitar amps to studio monitors.
