Serum

Serum is a wavetable synthesizer with great sound. It has an easy-to-use, creative interface and a built-in editor for making your wavetables.

Overview of Serum Wavetable Synthesizer

Serum has two main parts that create sounds, called wavetable oscillators. Each can hold up to 256 different sound shapes, giving you a lot of variety. There’s also a special sub-oscillator that sounds like old analog instruments, adding depth to your sounds. Additionally, Serum includes a noise oscillator that can add noise sounds and play them just once when you press a key.

One of Serum’s coolest features is its built-in sound editor. You can import sounds from files and break them into smaller pieces to create new waveforms. You can also draw directly on the sound waves using easy tools or special methods to add and change parts of the sound. Mixing different sounds together is simple; you can smoothly blend them to create unique tones. The editor lets you apply changes like fading or saving your custom sounds.

Serum ensures that the sounds you create are very clean and with less unwanted noise. You can change the sounds while they are playing in real-time, using different methods to make them sound even better. The controls are easy to use, allowing you to connect different settings by dragging and dropping them wherever you want. There are 89 different filters available, so you can shape your sound in many ways to get just the right effect.

Adding effects is simple with Serum’s effects rack, which can hold up to 10 different effects you can arrange however you like. The unison settings let you stack sounds together and adjust their tuning and spread, making your sounds fuller and richer. There are also hundreds of ready-made sounds made by expert sound designers, so you can quickly find the perfect sound for your project.

Serum includes flexible tools called LFOs that let you change sounds with easy break points over time. Plus, you can see how much the effects change the sound on the controls, making it easy to understand and tweak your settings. All these features make Serum a powerful and user-friendly tool for creating unique and high-quality sounds.
