    I've just been listening to this on their page and was about to post.
    Very interesting (I want it) some of the demo's sound very unusual in a good way.

    Just seen there's a demo too, whoopi !!

    Introductory price is $70....

    Which means it will probably be about $50 on AD...

    Just playing with demo I can see this thing has great potential. 
    Been using (and misusing) it on the drums. 

    I'm hoping I might get a discount as it is quite a lot but good value for money if you don't already have anything similar (and there's not a lot)

      I doubt Audiodeluxe will have it. Sweetwater's the only retailer I've seen that carries the Fxpansion effects (like Maul, DCAM Dynamics, etc.). AD and Jrrshop for example only carry the instruments.

    Just reading through the documentation and I'm thinking FXExpansion has come up with another extremely elegant effect.  I'm very impressed with the design that went into Etch, and I suspect this one will make top grades as well in that department.  I never would have gotten Etch had it not been for a $20 no-brainer offer.  Unfortunately, according to an FXpansion spokesperson on KVR, that Etch no-brainer caused them no end of grief from customers who had paid considerably more, so don't hold your breath for a deeply discounted purchasing opportunity for Bloom.
     
    This makes yet another plug-in that can be effectively modulated with MIDI input, including note events.  But making this work in Sonar is a painfully convoluted procedure as far as I can tell.  There's not a lot of information I've found on the CW forum on how you do this.  I'm I missing something and this is actually easy to do?  Has anybody tried to make this work and succeeded?

    that's not the intro-price for all, which is $99.. the price you see,  if you are an existing customer.

    you won't see it on AD for some time (MONTHS) , same with their other synths / fx that turned up hhm  months later. unless they want the wrath of owners of their current stuff.. They undercut something within a short time of me buying it..(think it was etch) lets just say, a few of us weren't over the moon..  YES they have to get sales, but you pay a price you don't want to see it listed 1/2 of that within errm , well a shortish time. 

    etch was handy to get marketing details off you as well / intro to the company itself..

    IK do the same thing,but worse... so I'm reluctant to buy anything for full whack off them now.. and they seem to be more interested in i-apps than working on their pc/mac products by the x-amount of facebook stuff relating to it that I get.    

    should buy it anyway, like piriform (ccleaner) they are a london-shire based company
