How “personal”? :hyper:

Edit
Lately I’m using Synthplant 2 to make wavetables and Objekt.
It’s mostly for fun and exploration and, with some luck, I get good inspirational material in Serum.

Of course it does.
Dude, you've totally changed my assessment of Serum. My excuse is I've only been using it for 2 months 🥵 I should just stfu.
We all learn something new daily.
And don’t forget to play with the OSC remap function.
Tell me more!

It’s virtually impossible to surf YouTube without seeing Serum tutorials :hihi:

Another forgotten gem is SerumFX which comes with its own presets and those are some amazing stuff. You put Diva through it and you have a completely new synth. And you can save not only the individual FX presets but the entire rack as well, AND you can modulate the heck out of them and, if you use Bitwig, it makes it easier to activate the envelopes and LFOs with MIDI and… the OSC too in tandem with the FX.

Insane power.

Btw, this “harshdigitalnose” can use a D&D wave file from Serum with the hidden D&D icon on the top left of the Serum name logo.
After that, I just draw some lines and I get absurd wavetabels!

Great free plugin. :clap:

I've watched some excellent tutorials- feel free to suggest any channels you find useful. I find it a bit easier to actually play around and see what does what with synths but as we can see, that method has drawbacks.

A "to the point" Serum tutorial. Maybe you know this already... Very skilled guy in his production business.



Then there are other guys out there for specific task and tricks but I can't remember their name. If I do I will post.
