What Bloom Drum Breaks does
The instrument is organized into a Main page and an Edit page. Samples are synced to the host BPM, so a phrase follows the tempo chosen in the session.
The Phrase Player is the tool for sculpting and modulating effect properties over a groove rather than only triggering rhythms. Users can import up to 112 of their own samples and swap them in at any time.
Key features
- Fourteen sample keys. Fourteen keys map drum samples and loops across the keyboard, with white notes playing sounds and black notes altering their properties.
- Sample banks and phrases. Eight banks hold 112 drum phrases in total, and each bank can be auditioned before a phrase is dragged onto a key.
- Factory modifiers. Half-time, Double-Time, Reverse, Octave Down and Octave Up change how a phrase plays without replacing the sample.
- Custom modifiers. Five custom modifiers can be defined, extending the factory set for a particular groove.
- Host tempo sync. Samples follow the host BPM, so loops stay locked to the session tempo at the chosen speed.
- Macro and FX controls. Four macros, Digital, Lo-Fi, Slap Verb and Phaser, sit alongside five main FX parameters: Saturation, Dynamics, Noise, Lo-Cut and Hi-Cut.
Compatibility
Bloom Drum Breaks comes as VST3, VST2, AU, AAX and Standalone for Windows and macOS (64-bit), with native Apple Silicon support and macOS 10.15 or higher. Hosts named by the developer include Ableton Live, Logic Pro and Reaper.
Who it is for
Producers building beats in electronic styles such as drum and bass, breakcore and hip-hop, and sound designers who want drum phrases they can reshape with modifiers and macros rather than building every pattern from single hits.
