In the past few years, many great soft synthesizers have been released, like Vital and Pigments, to name a few. Each brings something new to the table and pushes the boundaries of sound design. This has raised the question in the community: is Serum about to die? 🤔
In my opinion, Serum is a timeless synthesizer, like the NordLead2 or the Virus.
📍 For sound design, Serum's filters are still my go-to tools because they are flexible and offer deep control over their character. For example, I can combine a bandpass and a notch filter, then feed everything into a comb filter (a sound designer's dream 😁).
📍 Since I can move Serum's FX modules the way I like, I can add any effect, like distortion, between the two filters for extra flavor.
📍 And when I want to modulate those effects, Serum's LFOs are still the most precise, allowing me to draw exactly the modulation shape I like, with options to loop a given portion of that shape to create a sequence or an LFO within an LFO.
📍 However, the most important feature that I can't live without is Serum's wavetable manipulation capabilities. With Serum, I can create wavetables from any sample or even manipulate existing ones to create new wavetables. In my opinion, this is the main tool for expressivity because it allows the producer to create their own sound identity right from the oscillator.
🎉 Since it's the second week of my birthday sale, I want to celebrate these timeless synthesizers by offering you 20% off on all of my Serum and Virus preset packs*.
Over 250 presets covering everything you need to produce a modern psytrance track from scratch are now available at a reduced price. Including: kicks, basslines, Q&A sequences, leads, unique wavetables, and more. Grab them by following the links below or by using the code "olliebd2" at checkout.*
