01Overview

Bloom Palette Modular Upgrade is for owners of Bloom Palette Modular Lite who want the full version of the instrument. Excite Audio describes the instrument as a sample-based take on modular synthesis, built from recordings of Eurorack modules. The upgrade is aimed at producers looking for evolving drones, rhythmic pulses, glitchy percussion and harmonic pads without building a hardware rig. The Bloom sequencer sits at the center of the workflow, triggering samples and layering one-shots and loops.

03In depth

Sound Character and Sample Layout

Excite Audio says the instrument distils the movement and unpredictability of hardware modular systems into sample form. Sounds are organized into eight banks, with 112 percussion samples across them.

The 14 white keys trigger individual sounds, while the black keys launch phrases or change properties. Samples can be synced to the host BPM and keyed to the chosen key, which helps them sit in a track.

Workflow, Macros and Effects

Four macros named Surge, Orbit, Corrode and Space shape the sound in one place. Five main FX parameters cover Noise, Reverb, Delay, Lo-Cut and Hi-Cut, and a global bypass lets you compare the processed and dry sound.

The Edit page offers sample-level control, including playback direction, choke groups, start and end markers, and pitch and formant settings. You can also import up to 112 of your own samples and swap them at any time.
