Minimal Audio Current…subscription

[Jac459]

Yeah. Serum still on another level.

yea, sound quality, wavetable editor, and speed to get idea out......very very good. I feel bad for other companies when Serum 2 drops lmao. Mad props to MA for Current though.....a little more love on that granular side and I think its really nasty

I bought Serum because of this kind of post.... But I don't think it is grounded in reality at all. Serum doesn't sound better than Hive, Avenger, Falcon or Current.
Serum was awesome when it was released in 1874 but now it is just another (good) synth....

Current is more into spectral than wavetable, exactly like Vital, so Serum is not a good comparison. It is like comparing Serum and Novum (I am going a bit too far here lol)....

I could give you a coupon for a box of Q-Tips but reading your conclusion I don’t think it would help.
I mean…
For awhile I though you had some credentials…

What took you so long?!!!

Connection issues....

All that's left to do is decide to get on this black Friday MA Current or VPS Avenger 2 upgrade + VCV Rack 2 pro. Price range is almost the same.
I wish I could take them all

A part for the vcv, I have exactly the same dilemma.... I don't love avenger but truth is I use it very often....
On the other hand, current seems fun as hell.
A big decision point will be the pricing...n

you cute little summer child

And I appreciate your lack of vulgarity.

What can i say, i am just a nice person

You are!
Get a room you two! We can feel this special tension

Nah man, Im a firm believer that a really good sound designer can make any plugin sounds great to a degree. I dont think any one of those plugins sound better or worse than serum. Its all up to the person, and their knowledge/creativity. Maybe those plugins have presets that you "subjectively" like better than Serum, but thats about it.

I think you are contradicting me by saying.... Exactly my point.

My point was to say Serum has nothing magical. It sounds like many other "good" wavetable synths like Hive.
It just happens to have come first as a new gen of synth, hence its legendary status.

So I bought it because reading KVR it seemed like a magical synth. But in 2022-2023, it is just "another synth".

So I think your point saying Serum isn't special for in the same way....

Jac Serum is not just another synth.
This guy in the video could be you ATM before he realized what Serum is…
If you have approx 1 exact minute (9:30 to 10:30 video time stamp) it may help you to reflect your quite possible superficial statement about this synth.

Just 60 seconds opinion by one of the best sound designer in the business.

You have a phenomenal synth… not “just another”.

Thank you for this interesting video. I watched much more than the 1 minute you advised and the sounds produced are great.

BUT

The person you are quoting is saying the same than I do. He is saying that Serum is part of his top 3... With repro and zebra.
My point is this one, I never said it was another synth, I said it is another "good" synth.
When I bought Serum, I was having Diva,
I was having Hive 2,
I was having VPS Avenger,
I was having Falcon,
I was having Phase Plant,
I was having Vital,
I was having Pigments,
I was having Spire,
I was having all the fabulous Reason Ecosystem with Europa,
And much more...

And then naturally I thought Serum is cool.... But not cooler. Should I invest on this more time than the others? Not sure....

Then you could tell me:"but JAC, why the f**k do you buy another wavetable synth when you always have all these great ones, that doesn't make any sense!"

And you would be totally right, but I have this rare and unknown condition named GAS, not sure if you heard of it .

Anyway, back on "Current" topic, recently I bought DS Thorn and I loved the spectral touch of it, it has a vital and Europa flavour but more pronounced. Current has such a flavour with its spectral processing and if you add the interesting FX it has, to me it offers a strong distinct value compared to Serum.

GAS... How about green energy?
Current will be a fun synth to use due to the whole package...
