$99 for what's basically a sub bass generator, plus all the UVI generic iLok crap attached? Pass.

I'm all for synths that do one thing well, like different kick-drum synths do, and so I'm curious about this one.

Aurally, when playing around with Rumble--beyond listening to the videos--can anyone who has tried it comment on how it sounds? Is it really distinct from what any good synth can come up with?

welll..that is not entirely correct. It is just a synth. 3 OSC's over 3 freq bands and a max of 16 voices poly.

He accidentally heard the synth without compression, saturation and six affiliate links.
Rumble apparently modulates the lower jaw as well.

That's how he had a stroke?

Yeah it's really good and with enough control to design most bass sounds you might want very quickly. I understand people that say they could just do the same but more with Serum. That's mostly true, but in order for it to be fully true you'd probably need multiple instances of Serum across different tracks. I really value dedicated tools that provide genuine workflow improvements and this for me is one of those tools. I think it will be my main go-to for basses moving forward.

Thanks! That's helpful.

How do you get that? It's centrepiece multi-band layout is, on its own, enough to disprove your thesis.

i wanted also to write that Serum 2 is enough but then i checked some video and it seems this is cleverly structured and would need at least 2 instances for Serum 2 to route and eq correct? i need to check more videos.

You can do multi-band splitting for FX/compression on different bands in Serum 2. You can also route different oscillators between the 3 FX buses (Main/1/2) and you could do the band-splitting on each one so each bus covered one of 3 frequency bands but it would involve a bit of setting up.

It certainly wouldn't be as straightforward as Rumble.

Jup. Although buggy/sluggish over here, it has quite an unique sound.

But even if... even if you would need 3 instances of Serum...
- it doesn´t cost extra money
- it gives you more flexibility than using just 1 instance of Rumble like
+ more Oscillators, Filters and Modulations for each part
+ different FX on each track
+ different notes on each track
+ different arranging of clips on the track without having to automate something
+ sometimes a bigger overlapping of the "crossover points" = more overlapping is exactly what the sound needs... especially in the lower mids...

Idk... somebody here said he would value dedicated tools... I am more of the opposite (mastering one inside out instead of knowing a bit of all) and value the flexibility layering gives me...

Different people, different taste I guess...
