De gustibus non est disputandum, as the Romans used to say.

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

Sounds as good as the best hardware VA's. Nice patches, NatLife.

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.
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).

Ha, that's great! The phase knob modulated at tiny values yields more than just the mega-glitch

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!

It's depends how u use it)

EvilDragon · Post by **EvilDragon** » Wed Dec 24, 2014 5:59 pm

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.
