Sound Sources and Sample Library

Each sound in the library was curated by KSHMR and recorded with instrumentalists across India and the wider South Asian region. The developer says the recordings combine high-end analog gear with contemporary production techniques.

The library covers light percussive tablas and dhols, bollywood-style drum circles, bansuri flute loops and one-shots, strummed and stringed instruments such as sitars, rababs and ouds, and vocal loops. Eight sample banks hold 112 percussion samples, and you can import up to 112 of your own samples to replace them.

Sequencer, Edit Page and Effects

The Bloom sequencer is built for triggering and layering one-shots and looping sequences rather than for traditional note sequencing. Its modulation section automates pitch, volume and filter settings along with three effects.

The Edit page offers sample-level control, including playback direction, choke groups, start and end markers with snap to transient, attack and release, pitch, fine tuning and formant. The effects section provides Noise, Reverb and Dynamics, plus high-pass and low-pass filtering. Four macros (Lo-Fi, Tube, Width and Space) give quick control over the overall sound.
