I bought this VST when it first came out and it is THE BEST instrument out and a force in Music Production. What I love about it the most is it constantly keeps you experimenting with sounds like never before and takes you to another dimension. It also makes you pull up VSTs that you haven't used in awhile and turns them into gold!
I like the sound of, takes you to another dimension
its exatly waht it does another dimension in to worlds we newer could dream of in your own imagination its absolutely outstanding
Same, I grabbed it right of the bat, it's such a beautiful and inspiring instrument, I wish I had have conceived of it, art and function in perfect harmony....
@@Ninjjadog pay close attention
I don't think I have ever seen any program "render" a sequence. So let's say you like the settings and you want to record it. You want a full 60 minutes of midi notes. I am gathering currently that you would have to wait for it to play for an hour while it records. Well...what about having a "duration setting" and have the program "render" the sequence and create a .midi with that hour long midi file? Just a thought.
It’s great. The developer Mario is also constantly improving and adding features. The man never seems to sleep.
I made a few pieces now with Harmony Bloom like you showed here and it works great, even with 6 Blooms. Apart from Paul's Stretch it also works great with Dawesome Love if you have it. The possibilities are endless and Mario is developing very active in Harmony Bloom. It's a great tool.
Dude, it’s definitely one of the better sequencers out there!!
One of the benefits of Bitwig is that you can put Harmony Bloom before any VST instruments and the MIDI will just feed seamlessly with no need to do tedious capture record. Makes it super easy to just let it run and make musical sequences.
Is this different than say, in Cubase where I set the output of the HB to another VST and it uses that to play the sounds its feeding it?
@@b3owu1f yes because this is all done on the say track in Bitwig with no additional routing. It’s literally just two instruments in series on one track lane.
The main benefit of bitwig is your are no need any additional plugins. Bitwig has everything.
you can do it on logic to ! so practical
Thought that was standard with most daws?
Thanks for putting this together!
Can’t wait to see what you do with it, been one of our most popular releases!!
great overview and sequencer, thanks!
Love it, getting it right now
I gotta check this out!! Looks awesome!
Clear and concise explanation..(with enthusiasm) best tutorial I have seen and you obviously have spent the time to really learn the instrument..refreshing in this overwhelming wack-a-verse of information!
Thank you for showing how to use harmony bloom in ambient music!
Cheers!
Thanks again Chris!! I bought it today using your link!
Beautiful
Great effort man!
Really impressive how quickly you put this all together Chris. I like the idea of feeding the same piano sound into two channels, one stretched and the other "raw". I remember seeing HB a while back and noting that I needed to get it, but I haven't done so yet. I think it's time to go for it!
Thank you❤
Wow love it beautiful! Cool plugin will check it out 👍
Harmony Bloom is such an amazing tool. I bought it immediately after watching this video and created some amazing tracks in a few minutes. Great walkthrough!
so nice how happy guy gets when he finds a good tune
Works great with Scaler - you can get some complex compositions using just the piano and reverb.
Ok - that's just brilliant. Thank you. 🙇
I purchased Harmony Bloom on day 1 of launch. I'm impressed by what you've achieved here. Very good!
It’s an amazing little vst!!!
I have just purchased this and I love it
Another great tutorial video! After watching this, I went and purchased Harmony Bloom. It's really cool and a lot of fun. Thank you!
Great Video! Love you enthusiasm, it's inspiring, i bought Harmony Bloom instantly on seeing this video and connected it up to my Tempera, it's sick! Thank you so much for sharing!
just bought it. Works great.
.
Stepic will still be my number 1 sequencer but Harmony Bloom does help create some wonderful music and it’s a pleasure to use so definitely worth adding to your arsenal.
Thanks Chris, Harmony Bloom is awesome!!
Wow I've been waiting for something like this for years now, I'm so glad RUclips algorithm showed me this, also great tutorial of it, you answered all the right questions
Same here! Cheers and I'm glad you enjoyed it!
Thank you
I love it. Ive had a loop on for hours now 😂
This is the first time I've heard of Harmony Bloom and I'm sold. I can't wait to see what I come up with using this
Cheers and enjoy!
Brilliant ❤
Awesome video! thanks :)
Thanks for the introduction, I bought the plugin yesterday and have already experimented a lot with it
The User interface is self-explanatory with so many options.
Amazing Sequencer, the only limitation there may be is your imagination.
For example, consider the combination with Stepic or Hypnus devices... 🤪
Thanks for this tutorial,loving Harmony Bloom ,I do not have Ableton but I can replicate the lfo into Harmony Bloom within waveform free with no routing just drop harmony bloom before any vst instrument drag the lfo tool onto bloom and pick the parameter you want to modulate and away you go , wouldn't have even tried this without the tutorial,it's awesome thanks again👍
Just got Harmony Bloom....can't wait to get lost in it!! Thanks for the review!!💛
Oh man... I never wanted to buy a new sequencer this badly... I am new to all this but I really love this random approach... so awesome! Thank you!
You are so welcome... Enjoy!
When I saw your reel yesterday, you tipped me on the idea of using an LFO to modulate movement of the radial shape. I need to give that a go in Bitwig!
I'm sure it's just as straightforward in Bitwig. Have fun!
Great video, I love your enthusiasm. I believe the 1010 nano box lemon drop can achieve the same sound in a small fraction of the time albeit with less control over the outcome. Keep it up. 👍🏼
Awesome man!
LFO trick 15:00
This is a great sequencer, indeed! This plugin does in a few minute, what it would take someone hours to program into a piano roll. Great video, too! Adding to Paul's, is a great idea! I know the Hourglass granular dev, made the Paul's vst, I really wish the dev would make an Hourglass VST.
Thank you for this Chris. I was already a Harmony Bloom user, but I found your tutorial so helpful. I was particularly fascinated by your use of an LFO for modulating one of the Offset parameters, so of course I had to see if it is possible in Reaper. For any Reaper user out there, you can apply a LFO to any of the settings within Harmony Bloom (or any other VSTs) by using the Parameter Modulation function (page 380 of the User Guide).
Really a novel way to generate sequences. Of course to make it sound as wunderful as Chris, takes a lot more, but I always learn some new tricks in his videos, and with practice and repitition, i might slowly get there. Thank you for the inspiration 😊
Awesome tutorial. Paul Stretch X for the win.
All day every day!
Beautiful thanks 🤩Please make more about Bloom and how to make bass line also
Very cool unique sequencer. Almost a Euclidean sequencer based off of geometry. Really useful.
Very cool
This one in combo with Dawesome Myth is hugeee
I mentioned you to check out this in a comment, glad I see you checking it out!
God damn, this is going straight on my shopping list. Some Forbidden Planet drones in the background from EW, pure bliss..my folks will be sending out a search party for me. For what it does, really affordable VST
wow thanks
Oh yes it does... it's in your head. 😎
Nice, finishing and tidying up what Native instruments reaktor spiral started. I'm all for that
spiral is ancient one.
@@adirsabyeah I dare not look tbh, like I remember using it a lot for a while but it was/is a bit janky
That was great! Give yourself a pat on the back -- you have a new subscriber :)
Great exploration of this incredible sequencer. How does the stand alone version work? does it have an internal sound generator?
Just curious why you didn't use Vital as opposed to Pigments in this video! This is one of the most useful Harmony Bloom demo videos that I've yet to see. Cheers, Chris!
Pigments is the new Vital...haven't you heard? Kidding! Cheers to you too.
Does bloom have nudging/microtiming or is it only beat divisions?
You can divide it up to 1024 in the quantization but you can only have 82 notes max. It's less about precision and more about letting the randomness do the trick. Your mileage may vary my friend!
@@s1gns0fl1fe thank you for the speedy response! May just stick with the oxi as I want weird off times where some stuff is late and some early; not just a dedicated swing and what not
I ended up grabbing this. The offsets are what I was looking for^^ this is a super handy tool
how have i not found this channel?! i just got harmony bloom and its perfect for ambient with my Norns and Mood MKII pedal. Do you have any jam videos where its less demonstrative and informative but performance like?
Hard to focus on the technical details when the sonic ambiance is already so good.
I have to say I went and bought it even before watching the video. ❤❤❤ How do we get Pigments for $99? It says $199…
Interesting. What advantages does it have over some of the Euclidean sequencer's ?
I personally enjoy it more than say...something like the HY-RPE2 which technically does more and is more powerful, but it's not the easiest to use. Harmony Bloom on the other hand...
Okay I bought another sequencer haha thanks 😂
New subscriber...loving your content! Your use-case scenarios have convinced me to purchase Harmony Bloom, Steptic, The Utility Template and Vital. You state, you've change the Utility Template to your preferences. Do you, or could you offer up yours...with a list of required resources? Just curious. Thanks for the great ideas and detailed tutorials. Loving the PowerPoint addition!
Thanks so much! I don't have a list...and my best advice is you'll go crazy trying to chase all of it before you actually start making music so go slow. Start learning the fundamentals of sound design and how to use the tools you have in front of you. Cheers and best of luck!
works perfect with cosmos by soma
Great stuff can come out of structured randomness..
Can you give some insight (or point me to a video if you have about), on that EQ curve and what is happening on the Busses (synth / pad etc)? Cheers! Keep up!
Sure can! ruclips.net/video/DJqt7PT7O3M/видео.htmlsi=ntzsRR7cAfxoIWDE
@@s1gns0fl1fe Thanks, you re awesome!
Opening up the sequencer dreamspace.
I just need a place to cook!
I really love your channel, your music and what you're are doing and showing us all in the ambient music world. I hope to join your patreon one day but struggling financially. I was wondering though, If I left a soundcloud link to one of my ambient tracks would you be willing to give it a listen?
Thanks so much! We have a Discord community for Synphaera and you're welcome to join and share with the rest of the group. Here is an invite: discord.gg/4QFS84rSCc
@@s1gns0fl1fe Thank you, I just joined your patreon as well :)
Setting up stepic is a nightmare! (or its just me, thats a very likely scenario....).
Any easy guides for this?? I mean, adding a track and output it to stepic, after adding it to another track, and output stepic to that track?? Waaaat???
so it doesnt generate its own events?
I am doing something wrong with the PaulStretch... after I record a section I have no idea how to play it back stretched.... it is not playing back at all.
There's a play button and a record pass through. Try a combination of those and I'm sure you'll get some sound!
@@s1gns0fl1fe Oh I figured it out.... I had to lower the buffer size to small instead of medium.
Yes there is already a lot of videos out there. But none of them videos is showing an intentional use of the tool. Those videos are purely experimental, sometimes in the best RUclips-video meaning, which is not to be confused with 'experimental music'. They simply sound like crap because the video maker randomly pressed buttons. 'wow you can click on this button and also on this button. Can I click on that button as well?'. So a *proper* video about that tool has not been made yet.
I haven't tried it yet but it looks like I could do most of this in Bitwig.
Bought this for my iPad but even after several updates to fix the problems, it still doesn’t work. It just crashes at launch. My iPad is within the spec required. Very disappointing
hexen modular software have this random seq. for years 🎉
BITCHIN'!😎... I LIKE The Solfeggio Effect!🦋✨👽
You don't say that it's only $29!!! Boom. One question - how do you deal with chord changes/structures?
there is a MIDI playback mode
@Jyeffe59 sorry, how does that help with chords structures?
@@robin_miller_music www.youtube.com/@marionietoworld
Every day the creator Mario Nieto is live for the development of HB and to answer your questions
it can also be used as an Arpeggiator, so you can either play chords into it or use a MIDI track that had chords in it.
This or Stepic? What's better.
They are VERY different sequencers. I'd try both of them!
@@s1gns0fl1fe Imagine Stepic feeding into Harmony Bloom 🤯
Not better, just different
@@TeslaOsiris works great. Also feeding Harmony Bloom into Scaler works great.
If Stepic let you play more than one pattern at a time and maybe modulate more aspects of a pattern, then...
he got the hello kitty drip ON
You know it! Just went to Tokyo.
Try your "delay trick" think using this.
ruclips.net/video/RhWydiiAs74/видео.htmlsi=h_nT505-iUJGl5Op looks like same technik with random notes 😂😂
I just came here to say: OXI One.
I just got it! Future episode...
ok now make it hardware and not modular
love your shirt
I really enjoyed your presentation, very professional and informative and wonderful music . I have this but have not worked with it yet so looks like I will be occupied this weekend. 🙏🏿🙏👏👏🫡
Isn't this a little like cheating? I mean electronic music already makes me feel a little fraudulent as you can let much do anything with synthesis and samples
