Soulful Bass
Meticulously sampled from real electric bass performances by professionals, Bloom Bass Groove Lite unites the rich tones of slap bass, fingerstyle bass, and picked basses alongside an array of articulations and performance one-shots. Run these tones through custom-built amp simulations, filters, and dynamic shaping and you have the perfect bass sound to root your track to.
Bloom Bass Groove Lite captures the soul of the bass guitar, whether it's the slap of Chic-fuelled funk, the catchy basslines of Dua Lipa, or the smooth sounds of golden-age hip-hop.
Want to audition multiple bassists to find the perfect part? Utilising Bloom’s intuitive Phrase Player, Bloom Bass Groove Lite allows you to switch between different riffs, playing styles, and articulations, mirroring the dynamics and intricacies of a real-life bass performance.

The Art of Performance
Excite Audio built Bloom Bass Groove Lite with a focus on capturing the nuances of live bass performances with a combination of slaps, muted one-shots, and dynamic playing styles, delivering the expressive quality achievable only through real bass performances.
They recorded professional bass players using a variety of world-renowned bass guitars. Their performances were captured using diverse recording techniques, from DI signals routed directly into the mixing desk to advanced studio amping methods. Excite Audio’s team of sound designers took these recordings, combined them in the phrase player, and processed them using Bass Groove Lite’s built-in effects and macros.
This resulted in over 75 presets across 7 categories:
- Clean (CLN) - Clean, smooth basslines with no distortion or heavy processing
- Experimental (EXP) - Abstract & unique sound design-focused presets
- High Energy (HI) - Upbeat, fast and busy basslines
- Low Energy (LO) - Delicate, slow and spacious basslines
- Melodic (MLD) - Bass notes that can be played melodically with the white keys
- Processed (PRO) - Basses that use heavy processing & effects
- Rhythmic (RHY) - Basses focused on rhythmic & percussive slap bass
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 bass samples and loops, while black notes alter properties like playback speed and pitch and trigger sequences and effects modulation.
Four powerful macros control a specialised chain of effects, fine-tuned to the diverse samples that form Bloom Bass Groove Lite.
The Main Page
Bloom Bass Groove Lite combines three bespoke effects modules: Speaker simulates different reamping techniques and loud speakers, from handheld devices to guitar amps to studio monitors, Dynamics for transient shaping, gating unwanted noise and applying compressions, and an Envelope Filter for audio-responsive frequency sculpting.
