TORRENT SUMMARY
Status:
All the torrents in this section have been verified by our verification system
The dream synthesizer did not seem to exist: a wavetable
synthesizer with a truly high-quality sound, visual and creative
workflow-oriented interface to make creating and altering sounds fun
instead of tedious, and the ability to "go deep" when desired - to
create / import / edit / morph wavetables, and manipulate these on
playback in real-time.
IMPORT YOUR OWN AUDIO / CREATE CUSTOM WAVETABLES WITH EASE
Serum has a Wavetable editor built right in- you can create your
own wavetables in a variety of ways. Import audio directly from
audio files - Serum has a variety of methods and options for
analyzing audio for breaking it apart into individual waveforms. You
can import single-cycle wavetables of course, as well as many at
once (with in-built sorting options, or manual re-ordering). Morph
between various wavetables using standard linear interpolation
(crossfading) or via harmonic/spectral morphing. Draw directly on
the waveform, with optional grid-size snapping and a variety of
shape tools. Generate or modify waveforms using FFT (additive).
Create or process waveforms using formula functions. Processing menu
options allow you to do the other tasks you would want, such as
apply fades, crossfades, normalize, export, and much more.
ULTRA-CLEAN OSCILLATORS
Playback of wavetables requires digital resampling to play
different frequencies. Without considerable care and a whole lot of
number crunching, this process will create audible artifacts.
Artifacts mean that you are (perhaps unknowingly) crowding your mix
with unwanted tones / frequencies. Many popular wavetable
synthesizers are astonishingly bad at suppressing artifacts - even
on a high-quality setting some create artifacts as high as -36 dB to
-60 dB (level difference between fundamental on artifacts) which is
well audible, and furthermore often dampening the highest wanted
audible frequencies in the process, to try and suppress this
unwanted sound. In Serum, the native-mode (default) playback of
oscillators operates with an ultra high-precision resampling,
yielding an astonishingly inaudible signal-to-noise (for instance,
-150 dB on a sawtooth played at 1 Khz at 44100)! This requires a lot
of calculations, so Serum's oscillator playback has been
aggressively optimized using SSE2 instructions to allow for this
high-quality playback without taxing your CPU any more than the
typical (decent quality) soft synth already does. Load up Serum and
we think you'll be able to notice both what you hear (solid high
frequencies, extending flat all the way up to the limits of hearing)
as well as what you don't hear (no unwanted mud or aliasing
gibberish- just good, clean sound).
MODULATION - WORK THE WAY YOU WANT TO
The modulation system allows for drag and drop connections between
mod sources and destinations. Want an LFO controlling a filter
cutoff? Simply drag the LFO title to the cutoff knob. This LFO->
Filter connection will now appear in the Mod Matrix as well. In
other words, you have two views/approaches for creating and
modifying your modulations: sometimes a list is nice, other times
you just want the job done fast and easy.
REALTIME WAVETABLE MANIPULATION
In addition to moving through the set of wavetables (up to 256
make up a single oscillator), you can manipulate the waveform itself
in a separate realtime process referred to as Warp. This allows for
FM/AM/RM/Oscillator Sync and many other ways to modify the waveform,
including "Remap" modes - a graph editor for drawing your own custom
table manipulations.
FILTER TYPES
Serum includes all of the filter types found in LFOTool in
addition to some brand-new ones. Flangers, Phasers, and Comb filters
all of which can key-track to the musical note you play. Dual filter
types let you control or morph between filter types. Get creative
with atypical processes for filters such as downsampling, or the
unique filter types found nowhere before, such as the dirty-sounding
French LPF.
BUILT-IN SUITE OF EFFECTS
An effects rack with 10 effects modules lets you get your sound
all the way to the finish line inside Serum. Effects can be re-
ordered to any configuration you want. Virtually all effect
parameters are also available as modulation destinations. This is
especially useful on monophonic synth sounds. For example, apply an
LFO to control reverb size or dry/wet, or velocity to control
distortion amount. Many of these effects and modes were built just
for Serum, so there are many unique effects to choose from, such as
Hyper, which simulates (additional) unison amounts, or a dual-
waveshaper which allows for a distortion you can morph between two
separate wave shapes.
ADVANCED UNISON
Serum will let you stack a single oscillator to use up to 16
voices. Each of the wavetable oscillators have a number of unison
advanced parameters. Stack settings allow for note (e.g. octave)
layering to get a fuller sound for a single note-press. Set the
unison voices to all have their unique waveform at once with the
Unison WT Pos setting, or have them all skewed in a different way
with the unison Warp control. A variety of unison tuning modes
per-oscillator let you get the stack sound blooming or swarming like
you want.
