Is it just me or Serum/Vital sounds without life?

Serum 2 has come out since this post and is much better in this area since it allows 'true' frame morphing, but in Serum 1 the wavetable modulation was dirty. I always found Serum bigging up the low noise of its oscillators on the product page kind of funny, because modulating the wavetable position instantly makes those graphs among the nastiest you will see on a WT synth. And y'know, modulating the wavetable position is kinda the point of WT synthesis. The more 'extreme' the wavetable, the higher the noise floor, but even tables that change very gradually (e.g. a 256-frame saw-to-sine) were affected.

Interesting. I had never considered that.
