Excite Audio wants to take musicians down a path of vintage drum discovery with the release of the new Bloom Drum Machine. It was made by sampling some of the most iconic hardware units around before fusing them together in an all-in-one modern virtual instrument. According to Excite Audio, Bloom Drum Machine is perfect for providing you with instantaneous grooves to keep you in your flow or to get the ideas flowing.

Bloom Drum Machine can be used to add classic and modern samples from iconic drum machines to your tracks and sequence complex patterns effortlessly with the new sequencer. Users can also customize their rhythms using modulating effects and step characteristics or manipulate sounds extensively via three distinct effects and four unique macros. It also provides users with 250 presets that have been crafted by professional sound designers. 

Sources used for Bloom Drum Machine include vintage analog drum machines known for their warm and punchy sounds, early digital rhythm units, unique percussive tones from rare electronic keyboards and devices, modern drum synths as well as textured loops and one-shots that were crafted through sound design techniques.
