Sound Sources
Excite Audio directly recorded the signature sound directly from analogue drum synthesisers that soundtracked the 70’s, 80’s, and 90’s. Then, in order to emulate the iconic tones of ‘sample-based’ grooveboxes, they recorded and processed live drums using analogue hardware units and digital mixing techniques, similar to the techniques used in the creation of these drum machines. Some of the sound sources include:
- Vintage analog drum machines known for their warm and punchy sounds
- Early digital rhythm units that defined the beats across decades.
- Unique percussive tones from rare electronic keyboards and devices
- Modern drum synthesisers offering cutting-edge electronic percussion
- Textured loops and one-shots crafted through sound design techniques
How it Works
Start in your desired tempo, choose a 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 drum samples that form Bloom Drum Machine.
The Main Page
Bloom Drum Machine offers three powerful effects modules: Bitcrush for adding bit depth and sample rate reduction. Dynamics to control the tranients of your sequences as well as compression and gating to shape the dynamics of your drums. Reverb to create space and depth using Hall, Plate and Spring algorithms from the Lifeline Series.
