Bloom v2
Capabilities 2
- CV Sequencer (Chain)cv-sequencer
- 3-channel, 64-step-per-channel fractal sequencer with per-channel 1V/oct CV, gate, and mod outputs. Supports algorithmic branching, mutation, and per-step ratchets/slew/ornaments.683
- MIDI Outputmidi-output
- 3.5mm TRS MIDI output sends note, gate, mod (as CC), and optional 24PPQN clock for all 3 channels. MIDI channels and CC numbers configurable via Narwhal.683

Parameters 21
| Name | Type | Range | Behavior |
|---|---|---|---|
| Branch | knob | ≥0 | In Default mode: sets number of generative branches (0-7) appended after trunk. In Micro Mutate mode: sets ratchet mutation probability. In Performance mode: sets ratchet effect probability and amount.683 |
| Channel | button | — | Cycles focused channel among CH1, CH2, CH3. Hold while performing edits to apply globally to all 3 channels.683 |
| Gate Length Tune Mode | menu_setting | 5% – 100% | 683 |
| Knob Mode | button | — | 683 |
| Length | knob | 1step – 64step | 683 |
| Mutate | knob | — | In Default mode: two zones — Zone 1 (left half) adds note mutation probability up to 100%; Zone 2 (right half) adds gate state/length mutation 0-100% while pitch mutation drops to fixed 75%. In Micro Mutate mode: sets mod output mutation probability. In Performance mode: sets note/gate mutation or ornamentation effect probability.683 Zones default-knob-mode
|
| Order | knob | — | Selects from 8 playback orders: Forward, Reverse, Pendulum, Random, Converge, Diverge, Converge & Diverge, Page Jump.683 |
| Page | button | — | 683 |
| Path | knob | — | In Default mode: selects the navigation order through branches (up to 128 paths at max branches). In Micro Mutate mode: sets slew mutation probability. In Performance mode: sets slew effect probability and amount.683 |
| Pattern | knob | 1 – 16 | 683 |
| Rate | knob | ≤60Hz | Controls Bloom's internal clock rate. Fully left = clock off (0Hz); fully right = 60Hz. When fully left, accepts external clock. LED dimmer function accessible via Shift+Rate.683 |
| Ratio | knob | — | 683 |
| Reseed | button | — | 683 |
| Reset | button | — | 683 |
| Resize | knob | — | 683 |
| Root | knob | — | Diatonically transposes the focused channel sequence within its scale, keeping notes in key. CV input range 0V to +5V.683 |
| Rotate | knob | — | 683 |
| Scale | knob | — | Selects from 8 quantization options: Chromatic, Major, Minor, Major Pentatonic, Minor Pentatonic, Harmonic Minor, Whole Tone, Unquantized (25-cent steps).683 |
| Shift | button | — | 683 |
| Transpose | knob | — | Diatonically and destructively transposes the trunk sequence up or down; steps clamp at far ends of the 5-octave range.683 |
| Tune Mode | button | — | 683 |
