Out of the numerous soundclips posted about Serum, very few grabbed my ear and interest in a pleasant way, and some of them were made by Simon Stockhausen. I'm certainly a bit limited, but its my opinion that sound and music sometimes speak more than just words in a forum related to musical instruments.fwiw.
i am with you, although i did hear some nice sounds on gearslutz in the serum topic in just one post near the end of the topic..they are the only ones out of absolutely everything i have heard though, that I liked. it does show the product is capable of a "warm" sound but maybe that's not what the other designers are going for. Generally this thing sounds so clinical for me, it just does nothing for my emotions at all .
Wavestation by korg, although there is debate whether a wavetable synth or rompler, has an actual nice sound to me. A 20 yo + digital synth. Tons and tons of patches that just sound "nice". Serum seems like it has an extroverted overly harsh sound. I certainly can not see the close to $200 value in it.

Sound designer aces such as Simon and Hollo are obviously of the opposite opinion.

even though Simon and myself are not friends, i still believe in honesty, and AFTER i wrote that i went to listen to some of his serum demos, and the one on the previous page rather impressed me. I can still here the raw timbre of serum which i am not a huge fan of, but it has it's place, and obviously in the right hands it can sound better than in other hands. So yeah, that was a nice demo.Spitfire31 wrote:De gustibus non est disputandum, as the Romans used to say.TheoM wrote:Generally this thing sounds so clinical for me, it just does nothing for my emotions at all . … Serum seems like it has an extroverted overly harsh sound.

thnks mate. All the last years i tried to find a similar sound to most powerfull hardware synth as for me - Roland V-Synth XT, what can i say) - i think Serum sounds very very nearest to this.izonin wrote:Sounds as good as the best hardware VA's. Nice patches, NatLife.
Someone said about CPU and Serum crashing...i loaded a 16 synths in this demo+some glitch effects and drum section, and it's loaded on 90-95%. But it's on Laptop Intel Core i5+8gb ram...i think if u have more than a laptop core i5 2450 - u can use free a 10-12 synths + other additional synths or samples.

Interesting! Reminds me of when I discovered that I could run a 4-track 1/4" tape backward at high speed in my Tandberg if I held the transport joystick in a certain almost-rewind position (unintended by the designer, no doubt).

Interesting. V-Synth can alias like a mofo if you push it too hard. Serum, on the other hand is really clean even if you push it very hard!NatLife wrote:thnks mate.

No, it's the nature of how V-Synth was programmed. It's simply not as clean as Serum is, it can alias much sooner and much more than Serum, no matter what you do.
