KSHMR & Excite Audio Launch ‘Bloom KSHMR’ Plugin
Excite Audio has partnered with renowned EDM producer KSHMR to release a new plugin that brings his distinct, Indian-influenced sound into a software format. Known for blending South Asian sounds with electronic dance music production, KSHMR has built a unique name in the music scene. Following the massive success of his best-selling sample packs and effect plugins, this new initiative almost feels like a natural evolution. Bloom KSHMR aims to capture the rhythmic complexity and melodic richness of Indian and South Asian music.
User Interface
The interface of this plugin is a visual treat, drawing inspiration from the traditional Indian art form Rangoli. The labeling is clear and intuitive, so you won’t need to spend hours watching tutorials or reading the manual to get started. Under the hood, it offers a wide range of manipulation features for those seeking in-depth programming and editing. The plugin sports a vibrant orange-and-white color scheme and includes four macro controls for quick sound shaping. You can also adjust key, speed, and other essential parameters directly from the main screen.
Features
Bloom KSHMR features over 250 presets, including instruments like tablas, bansuri flutes, sitars, drum circles, and layered vocals. Each sound was carefully curated by KSHMR himself and recorded across India and South Asia by local musicians, using a mix of analog and digital equipment. As expected from KSHMR, the sound quality is exceptional, offering plenty of inspiration for your next track.
One of the standout aspects of the plugin is its versatility. With a range of manipulation tools, you can easily tweak and shape the samples to fit seamlessly into your project.
You can also drag and drop your own audio files into the instrument, integrating personal samples with Bloom KSHMR’s built-in presets. This makes it easy to create custom sounds while maintaining the same intuitive workflow. The plugin features four macro controls—Lo‑Fi, Tube, Width, and Space—each linked to key effects like tone shaping, saturation, stereo imaging, and reverb. These controls provide quick, hands-on ways to transform your sound without diving deep into menus.
