What Bloom Drum Kits Lite does
The instrument is organized as 4 sample banks holding 56 samples, mapped across 14 sample keys, so a kit can be played from the keyboard or sequenced in a host. The samples are synced to the host BPM, which keeps the rhythmic material locked to the project tempo.
Five factory modifiers are provided: Half-time, Double-Time, Reverse, Octave Down and Octave Up. Five custom modifiers can also trigger sequences, so a hit can be recast into a repeated pattern. The Main page carries five parameters, Dynamics, Delay, Reverb, Lo-Cut and Hi-Cut, applied to the whole kit. The developer describes the kits as built from raw, close-miked drums combined with tape-worn and processed hits. Four macros, Tape, Re-Amp, Room and Phaser, shape the sound from a single control each.
Key features
- Sample banks and keys. Four sample banks hold 56 samples, and the kit spreads them across 14 sample keys, so each key triggers a different hit from the set.
- Factory modifiers. Half-time, Double-Time, Reverse, Octave Down and Octave Up change how a triggered sample plays, which is useful for turning one hit into a fill or a variation.
- Custom modifier sequences. Five custom modifiers can trigger sequences, letting a single key start a short pattern instead of one sample.
- Host BPM sync. The samples are synced to the host BPM, so rhythmic hits stay in time with the session tempo.
- Macros. Four macros, Tape, Re-Amp, Room and Phaser, each shape the kit with one control, giving a quick way to change the character of the drums.
- Main FX parameters. Dynamics, Delay, Reverb, Lo-Cut and Hi-Cut are set on the Main page and affect the whole kit at once.
