Bloom Drum Machine Lite: Sample-Based Drum Instrument by Excite Audio Free Download

Excite Audio says the samples were recorded from analog drum synthesizers from the 1970s, 1980s and 1990s, and from live drums processed through analog hardware and digital mixing. The library covers several source types: analog drum machines, early digital rhythm units, unusual percussive tones from electronic keyboards, modern drum synthesizers, and textured loops and one-shots built through sound design.

The 56 samples are royalty-free, so they can be used in commercial productions without extra licensing. The mix of one-shots and loops makes the plugin useful both for building a beat from individual hits and for dropping in a full groove.

Samples are synced to the host tempo and spread across 14 keys. White keys trigger drum samples and loops. Black keys change playback properties such as speed and pitch, and can trigger sequences and effect modulation. Five factory modifiers (Half-time, Double-Time, Reverse, Octave Down and Octave Up) and five custom modifiers are available for shaping patterns.

The main effects section includes Bitcrush, Reverb, Dynamics, Lo-Cut and Hi-Cut, and four macros (Drive, Mod Delay, Static and Lo-Fi) control them together. Key selection and sample randomise help when you want to explore new ideas quickly.
