Bloom Ensemble Mallets Lite

Resonant Melody

Experience the ringing melody of tuned percussion with Bloom Ensemble Mallets Lite, the latest ensemble instrument in the Bloom series. It turns loops, one-shots and phrases into a mallet instrument that's ready to play.

Bloom Ensemble Mallets Lite is built from a rich collection of pianos, vibraphones, marimbas, glockenspiels and bells. Play anything from solo voices to high-energy sequences and full ensemble stacks. It brings organic melodic movement to electronic, ambient, downtempo and cinematic music where every note adds shimmer and depth.

Inspired by artists like Pantha Du Prince, Four Tet, Bonobo and Floating Points, it bridges modern production and tuned percussion. Whether you're building delicate motifs, bouncing hooks or wide soundscapes, it's a fast, expressive route to mallets that feel alive.

What Can Ensemble Mallets Lite Do?

• Bring resonant ensemble mallets into any track.
• Kickstart ideas with instant melodic layers and tonal palettes.
• Add motion with struck rhythms and pulsing patterns.
• Sculpt your sound with 3 effects and 4 performance macros.

Sound Sources

Excite Audio's team of professional sound designers and producers created 75 presets, organised into 7 categories:

• Full Ensembles (FE) - Full mallet ensembles with Piano, Vibraphone, Marimba, Glock and Bells.
• Experimental (EXP) - Abstract, unique, sound design-focused presets.
• High Energy (HI) - High energy sequences suitable for upbeat, faster or more intense productions.
• Low Energy (LO) - Low energy sequences suitable for slower tempo, cinematic or atmospheric productions.
• Melodic (MLD) - Melodies built from samples pitched in a scale across 2 octaves.
• Solo (SO) - Presets built from one single voice (Piano / Vibraphone / Marimba / Glock / Bells).
• Textures (TX) - Textural mallet sequences to sit in the background of a track.

How it Works

Stay in the creative flow on the Main Page. Trigger individual sounds with the white notes, then launch phrases or tweak properties with the black notes. Four powerful macros (Age, Lo-Fi, Bounce and Smudge) let you shape your sound, while a range of 75 presets gets you moving fast.

The Main Page

Alongside high-pass and low-pass filters, you also get three effects. Modulation offers Chorus, Flanger and Vibrato to add width and movement. Reverb adds space with characterful Plate, Hall or Spring types. Delay throws rhythmic echoes and stereo width in time with your project.
