Serum 2 is in the works, DMG Audio is also involved!

There's something wrong with the way the volume fades out on this synth. Well, it doesn't fade out smoothly like any other synth, it just stops at the end of the release. Its so noticeable when you have a decaying sound with no sustain and highish release.

Stopping at the end of release is absolutely what one would expect. Adjust the shape of the curve to make it more gradual.

I guess I must have been on smack or something as I just tried it and it is acting normally. But I swear there was no fade between the end of the decay and the end of the release, but its fine now.

I liked the simplicity of the Serum but hated the inclusion of wavetables in presets, which feels mini rompler to me. This is the case with all wavetable synths.

I tried Zebralette 3 and I do not need anything else. It is simple and can become complex if we want it to. I don't think any other synth for next several years will even be close to it in terms of technology.

My friend, you might love using it, but are you bangin out chart toppers?

Lots of hits were made using serum buddy

I don’t like chart toppers. I don’t like the word chart topper. I don’t like when they call me buddy. I don’t like the consensus that everyone should be using the same thing because everyone is using it, ensuring that everyone sounds the same (shit). Loosing authenticity and identity which can be gained by experimenting, breaking the rules and using tools that no one else does.

Nothing against Serum. The problem is not Serum. Serum is great. This was my only contribution to this thread. Sorry if it’s not helpful.

I never ever want to make a chart tropper anymore. I don’t even want to make music, if I really think about it. I walk myself out and pick up crocheting

Could you make an amigurumi of Serum for me, please?

[Igro]

yeah, but why doesn't it do that, like, automatically?!

Edit: Worst. Synth. Ever.

no one here takes you seriously if you really think that way

It was a sarcasm.

[martinjuenke]

Wurst. Synth. Fever.

FTFY

[jules99]

wooooosh

[hebex]

Since I’ve got two soundbanks from Bound to Divede and The Unfinished I got to explore the less known side of Serum.

This is also great:

Yeah. It´s totally amazing and probably the best preset library for Serum I´ve got this far, and I have a LOT. Hey Plugmon, make some more!

weird flex, but ok.

Not flexing, just don't like managing wavetables every other sound designer adds 100s of wavetables in their preset packs.

[wayford]

Still waiting...I hope the team take their time.

I do wish for a better preset browser, u-he style, or even Omnisphere (although that might be overkill).

"is this thing on?"

Whilst you wait- New pre-set pack using 'physical modelling' looks very interesting

Using a wavetable based engine to approximate the behaviour of acoustic instruments is not physical modelling .

That's why physical modelling is between ' ' I think; it implies it's not true physical modelling

How far away from simply just sampling is it then? Samples capture the physics perfectly....

[Jac459]

No no no my friend. Sampling is crap for capturing the physic.

What it will capture is one instant of physic.

But each time you play an intrument, there is super subtle differences. That's why samplers have round-robin samples player playing differnt samples each time.

Then depending of the velocity you will also have different physical things. That's why "giga samplers" have many different samples for one notes depending of the velocity.

But an the end, when you have 100gb of samples to model one instrument, sampling start to reach its limit.

That's where physical modelling comes and save the day. It will allow you to play with all the parameters of your physically modelled instrument.
If you takes the excellentissim Friktion from Reason Studios, you can decide how strong you pinch the cords, with which angle, if you pinch with soft fingers or hard fingers, how far you are in the neck of the guitar, how the guitar is shaped, and way beyond. The result if properly used is a result that imho blows away sampling... Maybe for piano it is still ok, but for more expressive instruments, Physical modelling is the future.
