Qu-Bit’s Bloom Sequence Editor: Fractal Sequencing, Now in Your Browser

Qu-Bit’s Bloom Sequence Editor is a browser-based application designed to extend the creative reach of the Bloom v2 sequencer. Rather than being tethered to the hardware module, users can now construct sequences in a visually rich, interactive environment from any computer. The editor essentially replicates a single channel of the Bloom v2, offering access to core tune modes and macro editing tools.

With this approach, Qu-Bit is clearly targeting both convenience and workflow flexibility. The ability to build sequences outside the rack means users can experiment, iterate, and refine patterns without occupying valuable modular real estate or studio time. Once a sequence is ready, exporting and loading it into the Bloom v2 is a straightforward process, making the editor a true bridge between digital composition and hands-on modular performance.

The editor’s interface is divided into several logical sections, starting with a transport bar that handles playback, tempo, and tuning reference. This section also provides a visual cue for sequence progress, echoing the hands-on feel of the hardware. The synth settings panel lets users tweak the built-in subtractive synth voice, adjusting parameters like waveform, envelope, filter type, cutoff, resonance, modulation amount, and delay. There’s even a MIDI note offset to set the root note for testing sequences.

Pattern settings are robust, allowing users to select which pattern file to edit, define sequence length (up to 64 steps), set playback order, scale, clock ratio, and modulation mode. It’s worth noting that some settings—like musical scale—are channel-based on the Bloom v2, so importing a pattern won’t override the module’s quantized scale. Velocity modulation in the editor only affects the amplitude of the synth voice, while other mod settings influence filter cutoff, reflecting the nuanced mapping between editor and hardware.

The sequencer itself is modular, breaking sequences into eight pages of eight steps. Users can toggle steps, set pitches, and navigate pages either via arrows or direct page selection. Editing is made more efficient with tuning reference modes that let users audition pages or individual steps, and the tune mode selector provides access to gate length, slew, ratchets, and mod shapes. Visual feedback for modulation shapes and envelopes is a highlight, making complex modulation assignments far more intuitive than menu-diving on hardware.

Qu-Bit positions the Bloom Sequence Editor as both a practical tool for Bloom v2 owners and an accessible entry point for those interested in fractal sequencing. The app’s visual approach demystifies the sometimes abstract world of algorithmic pattern generation, making it easier to grasp the underlying logic and creative potential.

Whether you’re looking to streamline your modular workflow or simply explore what fractal sequencing can offer, the Sequence Editor stands out as a thoughtfully designed, future-facing companion. It’s a clear extension of Qu-Bit’s philosophy—merging deep digital architecture with hands-on, performance-friendly interfaces.
