Marion Nieto has announced the release of an update to the MIDI generator which merges polyrhythmic patterns with beautiful visuals.

Version 1.2.5 of Harmony Bloom comes with various improvements and fixes.

Harmony Bloom aims to effortlessly create magical sequences while letting users add their personality. It offers many parameters for customization or randomization until the desired result is achieved.

Changes in Harmony Bloom v1.2.5

  • New: In the plugin version, Trigger Bars can now be mapped to be sent through different independent MIDI channels. Additionally, it is possible to select the octave for each trigger bar independently. IMPORTANT NOTE: Not all DAWs can handle internal multi-channel MIDI routing. For instance, Ableton cannot do this on Desktop, as it is a limitation imposed by the DAW itself. The same applies to some DAWs for iPadOS, so depending on the DAW you use, multi-channel sending internally may not be possible.
  • New: Bypass. When active, all incoming MIDI signals pass through Harmony Bloom unaffected, effectively bypassing its processing. It’s equivalent to disabling the plugin.
  • New: Added new Custom Colors for Dots. Customize the appearance of dots (notes on the spiral) with your choice of colors, enhancing visual feedback and personalizing your user experience.
  • New: The header colors now match the selected colors.
  • New: Presets can be exported one by one.
  • New: Change of direction and position of the arrows for changing presets to have better control.
  • New: Various playback controls, like the MIDI keyboard mode, have the option active to maintain the state through preset changes by default.
  • New: UI Changes and corrections.
  • Fixed: MIDI mappings for the trigger bars were not working correctly.
  • Fixed: Fixed issue with correct loading using factory presets, quantize offset was loaded a value below the original.

Available for Windows and Mac (VST3 and AU), Harmony Bloom is available to purchase for 29 EUR / £25 GBP at Loot Audio, Isotonik Studios, and from Mario Nieto‘s website.
