Bloom

Translucent organic growth: layered petals, watercolour ink, cell colonies, mycelium, crystals and lotus ripples.

6 modes

Launch modes

Petal Bloom mode

Petal Bloom

Three rings of translucent petals open over the lifecycle and turn half a petal on every kick, leaving an echo.

Ink Diffusion mode

Ink Diffusion

Watercolour blooms spread in a rosette, pigment pooling at each drying front.

Cellular Growth mode

Cellular Growth

A glowing colony packed on the golden angle grows outward while its cells divide.

Vine/Mycelium mode

Vine/Mycelium

Tendrils spread from a spore with hot growth tips; each kick sends light along them.

Crystal Growth mode

Crystal Growth

A faceted ice dendrite grows through each phrase and re-forms on the next.

Ripple Blossom mode

Ripple Blossom

A lotus on a dark pond, mirrored in the water, with ripples interfering around it.

Spectrum rangeHow much of the 40 Hz to 14 kHz range the visual spans, from the bass up. Lower it to give the bass and mids more of the barsAudiorange1YesNo
Frequency scaleHow the bars are spread across the frequencies. Log spreads them by octave, mel by how pitch is heard, and linear by hertz, which gives most bars to the highsAudioselectlogNoNo
Auto-levelLifts every part of the spectrum to its own recent range, so quiet highs move as much as loud bass. A note held for several seconds settles lower as it adapts. 0 shows the raw spectrumAudiorange0.8YesNo
