is there a possiblility to convert sample to oscillator and then randomize the single wave cycles?

i got this tip from charlieclouser on gearslutz for NIN guitar sound

"Take a half-second sample of a distorted guitar power chord, convert to oscillator, then wave shape and BLAM you'd have a harsh blast of digital future-guitar that sounded great. Put up two or three oscillators like this, one dropped an octave, and you're in industrial heaven."

Sure it is. It's what Serum is all about

Not sure how to randomize it properly though - could be random LFO, or maybe try map velocity to wavetable position.

I'm familiar with what Charlie is referring to in that post, as I worked with him on the NIN Fragile album.

The exact technique isn't currently possible in Serum, but it could be in the future!

Is this not simply taking a snippet of a sustained power chord; Performing an FFT; Performing an IFFT to ensure the same data in a window of sufficient size; Then reading the array as oscillator?

Then you can shape with an ADSR and apply distortion.

this would be splendid! cause i dunno Turbosynth and it is very old already. i could get some nice drones etc with Serum like Quake 1 and also with a sampler (Nuance) pitched down and stretched weird noises which sound like monstermumbling and so on. lovely. still struggling with getting some nice horn/weird sounding pads/atmospheres.

but the technique described by Charlie was because of the guitarsound from this theme as far as i remember

just awesome!

oh and a smaller example at 5 mins

One of my favourite game OSTs of all time - So many subtle creepy noises throughout every track

SERUM? convert sample to oscillator?
