Ambience provides music with layers of depth whether that is through washed out melodies, chords, or subtle textures that add real-life context. It can create a new perspective on ideas, and can spark new directions for tracks entirely. Bloom Synth Atmosphere aims to blend these ideas together in one instrument taking inspiration from artists such as Aphex Twin, Boards of Canada, Brian Eno and Øneheart.

With over 250 professionally created presets alongside the ability to import your own sounds, immerse yourself in a world of ambience.

What Can Bloom Synth Atmosphere Do?

• Sequence deep synth ambiences, sound beds, arpeggios, textures and leads.
• Explore 8 banks of phrases and one-shots in key and in time with your projects.
• Manipulate sounds using three distinct effects and four unique macros (Lo-Fi, Modulation, Width, & Submerge).
• Introduce ambience into your tracks immediately with 250 presets crafted by professional sound designers.
• (New!) Allow you to import your own samples and personalise the instrument.

Sound Sources

Excite Audio’s team of professional sound designers and producers created over 250 presets organised into 7 different categories:

• Drones (DRN) - Long, drawn-out, sustained drones.
• Experimental (EXP) - Abstract, sound design-focused, unique creations.
• Full Atmospheres (FA) - Complex ambient sequences consisting of drones, synths, melodic elements and noise.
• Melodic (MLD) - Samples pitched across 2 octaves and are built from melodic elements only.
• Rhythmic (RHY) - Rhythmic, percussive and chopped ambiences.
• Synths (SYN) - Synth and electronic-focused atmospheres with no organic textures.
• Textures (TX) - Noise-focused atmospheres to sit in the background of a track.

How it Works

Start in your desired tempo, choose a sample bank or preset, and trigger one of 14 bpm-synced samples spread across two octaves. White notes set off synth samples and loops, while black notes alter properties like playback speed and pitch and trigger sequences and effect modulation. 

Four powerful macros control a specialised chain of effects, fine-tuned to the diverse samples that form Bloom Synth Atmosphere.

The Main Page

There are eight banks of sounds to choose from - organised into easy to find categories, and the sounds in each bank can be dragged onto any of the 14 white notes.

Audition and Load Samples & Banks

The Edit Page: Sculpt Your Sound

The Edit page is the central hub for refining and making the library of samples your own. Adjust start and end points, manipulate playback speed and direction, and tweak the timbre with pitch and formant controls.

Sample Edit Section

Import Your Own Samples

Make the Bloom instrument your own with the ability to drag and drop audio files into it. You can do this via the waveform view on the edit page or any empty slot on the banks page. Set the key and BPM of your samples to make them integrate seamlessly with the Bloom engine.

Sample Import

Sequencing Reimagined

Unlike traditional sequencers, the Bloom Sequencer is designed for triggering and layering one-shots and looping sequences, allowing for endless rhythmic creation. In the modulation section, automate pitch, volume, and filter settings as well as three effects to add depth and dimension to your music.

Sequencer Section

Sequencer in Fullscreen Mode

Bloom Synth Atmosphere offers three powerful effects modules: Reverb to create space and depth using Hall, Plate and Spring algorithms from the Lifeline Series. Delay to create hypnotic patterns and echos and Noise to layer textures that react to the volume envelope of your samples.
