Ambient Sound Design and Sequencing

Excite Audio describes Bloom Synth Atmosphere as a way to build submerged drones, ethereal textures and layered soundbeds. White keys trigger synth samples and loops, while black keys alter playback speed and pitch and trigger sequences and effect modulation.

The Bloom Sequencer is designed for triggering and layering one-shots and looping sequences. Its modulation section can automate pitch, volume and filter settings, as well as three effects, to add depth and movement to a track.

Effects, Macros and Sample Import

Four macros (Lo-Fi, Modulation, Width and Submerge) control a chain of effects, with Reverb offering Plate, Hall and Spring modes, Delay offering Stereo and Ping Pong modes, and Noise offering 15 noise types.

You can also import up to 112 of your own samples by dragging audio files onto the waveform view or an empty bank slot. Imported samples can be set to a key and BPM so they fit the engine, and they can be swapped at any time.
