The Bloom Ensemble Mallets Lite Black Friday deal takes 34% off, so it costs $19 until Nov 30, 2026. It's a mallet instrument from Excite Audio and part of the Bloom series, built to turn loops, one-shots and phrases into something you can play.
The sound sources are pianos, vibraphones, marimbas, glockenspiels and bells. You can play single voices, fast sequences or stacked ensembles.
