01Overview

Bloom Palette Object is the first instrument in the Palettes category of the Bloom range. Its sample banks blend acoustic instruments such as the Taishogoto, vibraphone and upright bass with everyday textures like velcro, glass bottles and mechanical ratchets. A built-in sequencer can trigger one-shots and loops, so the instrument works both for quick song starters and for layered rhythmic and melodic parts. The developer describes the sound as a way to add real-world texture to digital productions.

Sound Sources and Sample Banks

The library includes 8 sample banks containing 112 foley samples, all of which are royalty-free. Categories cover household foley, mechanical and electrical items, tuned foley, textures and noises, acoustic drums and percussion, instrument one-shots, rhythmic loops and melodic loops.

Each sample can be dragged onto any of the 14 white keys. Samples are synced to host BPM, which keeps loops in time with your project. You can also import up to 112 of your own samples and swap them at any time.

Sequencer, Macros and Effects

The black keys handle pitch, playback speed and sequence triggering. Factory modifiers include half-time, double-time, reverse, and octave up and down, and there are five custom modifiers for triggering sequences.

Four macros (Smooth, Echo, Tape and Width) control the instrument's effects. The Noise, Reverb and Speaker effects can be rearranged, and five main FX parameters (Noise, Reverb, Speaker, Lo-Cut and Hi-Cut) are available from the main page. The instrument includes 250 presets to start from.
