California-based modular synth innovators Qu-Bit have announced the launch of a new module that offers a fresh new take one of their popular designs. Bloom v2 is a three-channel, 64-step sequencer that’s kitted out with a whole host of new features including per-step clock-sync’d ratchets, new random variation functions, additional channel outputs and more.
The company say that the latest iteration of Bloom packs in a plethora of additional features compared to its predecessor. It can now apply clock-synced ratchets on a per-step basis, as well as allowing users to dial in the Mutation range for random note variation, and it’s now possible even save and recall Branches with a saved sequence. Each channel has gained a new Mod output, a third, modulation-focused output that stays in sync with the module’s melodic CV and rhythmic Gate outputs.
Sequences can be dynamically resized and rotated, while notes can receive ornamental musical trills or arpeggios. and there are also new probabilistic controls beyond Mutate, including random step muting, ratcheting and slewing. The Bloom v2’s front panel now features a Reseed button that’s capable of generating an entire random sequence, and the module has also gained a MIDI output that carries all of its sequence data.
