Advanced wave synthesizer. It seemed like the dream synth didn’t exist: a wave synth with truly high-quality sound, a workflow-oriented visual and creative interface to make creating and modifying sounds fun rather than tedious, and the ability to go “deep” when needed – create/import / edit / morph wave tables, and manipulate them during real-time playback.
WHY SERUM?
It seemed like the dream synth didn’t exist: a wave synth with really good sound, a visual and creative workflow-oriented interface to make creating and modifying sounds fun rather than tedious, and the ability to go “deep” when needed – create/import / edit / morph wavetables, and manipulate them during real-time playback.
IMPORT YOUR OWN AUDIO / CREATE CUSTOM WAVETABLES WITH EASY:
Serum has a built-in Wavetable editor – you can create your own tables in a variety of ways. Import audio directly from audio files – Serum has many methods and options for analyzing audio and separating it into individual waveforms. Of course, you can import individual tables or several at once (with built-in options for sorting or manually changing the order). Morph between different wavetables using standard linear interpolation (crossfading) or using harmonic/spectral morphing. Draw directly on the waveform, with the ability to snap to grid size and various tools for creating shapes. Generate or modify waveforms using FFT (additive). Create or process waveforms using formula functions. The processing menu options allow you to perform other tasks such as applying fades, crossfades, normalization, export, and more.
ULTRA-CLEAR OSCILLATORS:
Reproducing wavetables requires digital resampling to reproduce different frequencies. Without extreme care and a lot of number crunching, this process will result in audible artifacts. Artifacts mean that you are (perhaps unknowingly) overloading your mix with unwanted tones/frequencies. Many popular waveform synthesizers do a shockingly poor job of suppressing artifacts – even at high-quality settings, some produce artifacts ranging from -36 dB to -60 dB (the difference between fundamental and artifact levels) that are clearly audible, and what’s more, are often canceled out in the process the highest desired frequencies to try to suppress this unwanted sound. In Serum, oscillator playback in native mode (default) operates with ultra-precise oversampling, resulting in astonishingly inaudible S/N (e.g. -150dB on a sawtooth played back at 1KHz at 44100)! This requires a lot of computation, so Serum’s oscillator playback has been aggressively optimized using SSE2 instructions to provide this high-quality playback without taxing your CPU any more than a typical (decent quality) soft synth would. Download Serum and we think you’ll be able to notice both what you hear (tight highs extending just to the limit of audibility) and what you don’t (no unwanted dirt or aliasing gibberish – just good, clear sound )
Changelog v1.36b8
Released (October 11, 2023)
- add: Rescan Folders on Disk now rescans WT Editor formulas.
- addition: incoming MPE Pitch Bend is now also routed to the “MPE X” mod source. This can be disabled in SerumPrefs.json if desired.
- add: MPE Enabled state and locks for setup and resampling (Global page): these will now be saved/loaded as part of the default preset (/User/Default.fxp).
- added: Preference in SerumPrefs.json for “MPE Y acts BiDirectional”, for MIDI controllers that offer/expect bidirectional Y-axis movement.
- added: Improved saving of presets, no longer causing the preset database to be re-scanned.
- bugfix: MIDI Program Changes indicating a missing file in ProgramChanges.txt will no longer produce “file too small” messages if the target file name is empty.
- Fix: Potential crash on first run when updating Serum directly from a very old version.
- bugfix: (SerumFX) Note Latch button was not updated visually after loading presets into SerumFX.
