03In depth

Sound and Character of the Bloom Instrument

Bloom's core sound is a soft, bell-like tone that sits between piano and glockenspiel. The developer positions it as a source for melodic writing, with the samples built from multi-velocity recordings so that playing dynamics change the tone and volume.

The library contains over 240 24-bit samples totaling 245 MB. Built-in delay and reverb give the sound space without needing external effects, which keeps a simple melodic patch ready to drop into a track.

Arpeggiator, Flourish and Workflow

The built-in arpeggiator script is the fastest way to turn held chords into rhythmic melodies. It is set up to change chord progressions into dancing patterns with little programming.

Bloom ships with a second instrument, Flourish, which Iamlamprey describes as a more aggressive counterpart. Having both in one package gives you two distinct characters for the same melodic material.
