Official Serum thread!

[Spitfire31]

Many have probably seen the extensive series of Serum tutorials on YouTube by Dorian Day. He has recently released a bundle of two sets of patches for Serum, taking a slightly different approach than the very good ones already mentioned in this topic. Here's what one of the bundle contains, the other is similar:

Includes:
-69 Wavetables (64 Analog Plugin processed, 1 Sine, 1 Triangle, 1 Square, 1 Saw, 1 VIP Tables, watch walkthrough for more info)
-320 Waveframes (64 Sine, 64 Triangle, 64 Square, 64 Saw, 64 VIP)
-25 Universal Presets with wavetable doubling
-10 Ableton Rack Presets with wavetable quadrupling
-4 MIDI files used in demos
-Instruction guide and Sound Design guide
-Bonus: Presets used to treat tables in proprietary and Ableton AU format.

You can check it out at

No audio demos yet, apparently?

That page is the bundle and has url's for the two separate patch sets, and there should be demos on those pages

What does he mean by 'universal presets'?

I find the i7 to be colder and harsher than the Pentium processors.

I miss my Apple IIgs and it's 'warm' vintage 8bit sound

I'm reading all these negative comments about the sound quality, and it just doesn't jibe with my own experience. Here's what I think (and please feel free to disagree!): I think wavetable synths, and also most additive synths, make it very easy to add a whole lot of upper harmonics. Doing so tends to de-emphasize the fundamental and first few harmonics. The result is a perceived thinness or harshness. Considerable care is required when creating patches on these kinds of synths, so that the upper frequencies don't overwhelm the lower partials.

I think that's partially true.

Bravo zerocrossing!

And I agree with what Deastman is saying there as well.

Hey, I like those words, "cold filter fantasy".

I think this will be the title for my next CD release or band name.

Ladies and Gentleman, introducing, The Cold Filter Fantasy!

Its got a ring to it.

sounds like a band name from the 80s, especially with the "The" at the beginning. The Cold Filter Fantasy featuring MC Serum on the fridge.

No time to wade through this epic thread but---has Steve Duda responded at all to the "Serum is too cold and digital" opinions?

I'm not looking for drama on this---I'm sincerely interested in whether he is responsive to this impression of Serum and if so, will he try to work more "warmth" into future versions.

Dude, there actually was a Cold Filter Fantasy in the 80's, they toured with Toad The Wet Sprocket.

Yes, he sure did respond in this thread, but I won't wade through it either to find that post for you.

Had to google that, Toad The Wet Sprocket...they actually exist, great band name - LOL

Don't you guys read directions ?

It clearly states on the back of the box . . . and I quote -

* For a warmer Serum you need to cover with a paper towel . .
then place in microwave for 45 seconds.

Take out Serum and stir . . . then re-cover with paper towel
and cook an additional 20 seconds.


BE CAREFUL - IT WILL BE HOT.


In fact most of the patches will be smokin' .

Let stand for 2 minutes and enjoy !

I actually prefer a nice Summer Shandy or a hot cup of Java.
