Nice video man! Such a great plugin imo, one of the more interesting ones I've bought for quite a while. It's a shame the probability section completely broke on mine, I need to grab the latest update.
Thanks for stopping by! Agree that it’s a really interesting Plugin - do check out the latest update, I’m sure it’ll solve the problems your experiencing…
Wonderful demo!👌🏽 Really enjoyed this.
Very inspiring demo of an awesome sound tool. 👍🏻👍🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Thanks, this is the most ‘musical’ demo of this app I have seen, I’ve just got my finger hovering over the purchase of this for the iPad - this helps.
Bought on iPad. Note for other iPad users, it integrates perfectly with AUM and is pretty low in DSP usage, so multiple instances ability. Get saving your presets early, the included ones are mostly demos to show what it can do.
Man you should be the voice in a movie!!!
Could you do a WOTJA tutorial please? This was beautiful btw
This is one of the most comprehensive examination tutorials of Harmony Bloom that I have yet to see. It feels like a very good plugin for ambient track generation. Lovely composition as well.
Wow, thank you!
Great review and a fantastic plugin. I will definitely buy this!
(Your voice is as reassuringly confident as an Open University tv presenter in 1975 :)
Awesome, thanks! - I'll have to wear a white lab coat for the next video... or a corduroy jacket with leather patches on the sleeves! :)
Very nicely explained - and easy to follow without getting lost in the weeds. More please. Harmony Bloom is a wonderful new plug-in.
More to come! There have been so many updates I'm going to do a 2nd video...
That's exactly the review I was looking for. Thanks!
Glad to hear it!
this tool is something else, looks like very pleasant final outcomes rather than totally random like most tools of this type, thanks for taking your time and making this video
...and there have been many updates since I made this video...I'll have to do another one!
Another great and informative video, which explains in easy to understand terms, an excellent learning series of instructional videos. Thankyou.
Many thanks!
Very nice! Thank you.
Awesome review!. Thank you very much Waveform!
My pleasure!
Excellent speaking voice...
Very cool, thanks for sharing your techniques
My pleasure! - There have been so many updates since recording this, I'm working on a follow up video!...
You've got two things on display i'm buying next week when i get money, bitwig studio and harmony bloom at crazy discount prices!
Transition form Cubase to Bitwig has been slow for me... but I love it - great offer atm...
@@waveform-synths I really like the arrange which has clips as well so you can work on a live set / jam and arrangement at the same time
Really pleasurable video
Many thanks!
S1gns preset spotted! 6:20 Great video my friend. I've been in contact with Mario for a few months and making a few suggestions for HB. Fantastic developer and a really wonderful debut plugin! I'll be coming out with a video of my own soon. Cheers!
Thanks! - The great thing is that Mario is obviously responding to user feedback and suggestions with his numerous updates - thanks for stopping by!
Thank you new friend!
Thanks for coming
This was very helpful. I recently purchased it... such a great app for the price! Already made some crazy ambient with it
Glad you like it!
Nice vid thanks you. Way better than anything I seen. I got it for 12 dollars so it wasn't a big purchase but whenever I threw a vst on it sounded like trash. I thought it was just a gimmick but you can really get some nice soundscapes
going with this. Thank you
Youre welcome... thanks for checking it out...
Ohhh! This is a cool Plugin!
Thanks for checking it out - it's great fun to play with and can take you off in new musical directions...
Great video. I just bought Harmony Bloom and I'm trying to make it run my hardware instruments but with some struggles so far. I'd enjoy a video with midi sent externally if you were so inclined. Cheers
You can do it! What DAW are you using? I'm going to do a follow up video, so I'll try to include external instruments
An excellent video showcasing a lovely plugin.
The plugin has continued to develop, so a few more functions have been added since you recorded your piece.
For a little bit more randomisation, I sometimes put K-Devices' Tatat in front of the plugin.
Cool, thanks!
can you use it to follow chords or notes you play on a midi keyboard? sort of a smart arp type idea so it only uses the notes you hold down? ive always wanted a smart arpegiator that randomly play notes held and the timing it plays them . being able to hold chords down it then allows it to use a chord structure in real time. can you do this with bloom or is there a software arp that could do this every arp i here is so boring up down or the like and no timing changes
Just found your channel and its really good so had to sub to you. I cant help but wonder what Harmony Bloom would sound like with Myth.
Thanks for subbing! I'll have to have a Harmony Bloom/Myth session! :)
@@waveform-synths That brilliant so looking forward to your future video.
The reason you get a chord with 3 notes is not because 2 is even. With 2 notes and a quantization of 2 you get the arpeggio again. Think of the quantization as of divider for the Notes. So with a quantization of 1/1 (newer versions of HB use that notation) all notes are at the same spot (the actual chord). With a quantization of 1/2 the number of notes gets divided into two halves and put equidistant into the loop. Quantization of 1/3 makes 3 groups of notes from the input (if loop length is set to 1, each note group will be the length of a triplet bar). If you look closely at your video, you see that one of the 3 notes is triggered by the trigger line on the left side of the circle whereas the other two notes are triggered by the right hand sided trigger. So you only get a chord of 3 notes because you have these 2 triggers. You would have a chord of 2 notes followed by a single note played instead, if the left hand trigger line was somewhere else.
So the conclusion is, if you actually want a chord of the input notes, you want a quantization of 1 and then trigger lines according to your rhythm. Quantization besides 1/1 will create chords from a subset of the input notes which. More specifically it will create $quantization number (the number below the bar) of chords using $totalnotenumber/$quantization notes per chord, with the last chord possibly having less notes when the numbers don't divide. Given there are trigger lines at the right places, those chords could played together, forming chords of different note amounts (up to all notes like in your example) throughout your loop, which is a lot more complicated than just 'thinking even'.
Basic arpeggios get generated by having $totalnumberofnotes = $quantization, but of course any setting that has $q other than 1 and maybe some offsets specified could be considered an arpeggio. However all offsets except for $q are time based and not grid based, so in case my limited musical knowledge is not missing anything, it feels rather unsuited for arpeggios to use these other offsets.
generative melody and berlin style patches? Pleased to find your channel.
Going to do another video on Bloom as it's had so many updates!
Thanks for the tutorial! But you have Bitwig, you dont need all those synths 😉
Yeah, you’re right! Coincidentally, the next video will be on the grid in Bitwig. I’m relatively new to Bitwig so it’s all starting to open up for me!
Bitwig is a powerful DAW with a variety of instruments, but each synthesizer has its own character, its signature sound. And if you like that signature sound and the way you can create the sound you want with that synthesizer, the Bitwig stuff is not enough.
If you let machines take your place and call this creativity .....
dont complain about AI problems in the near future ....
I only find some interest in making some nice complex synth pads with it ....
Come on. This is a creative tool like the ARP function in a synthesizer or a step sequencer. Have you ever played with a sample and hold module in a modular system? Pure randomness You control creatively.
