[Serum Tutorial] Unlock Serum's Secret Superpower
Unlock Serum's Secret Superpower with this Serum tutorial!
For a long time I thought this type of modulation wasn't possible in serum... I was wrong!
Audio rate modulation is a very powerful technique that can produce an unlimited number of sonic possibilities.
This technique used in this video is somewhat of a spiritual successor to the technique used in this video: • [Serum tutorial] Darkp...

I'm gonna use this!! Been wanting to find this technique for so long😅 Thanks for sharibg!🙏
Had no idea you could drag an LFO into the noise oscillator 😮😮, and i overlooked that you can send an oscillator into the noise osc as well. Very nice! Subbed!

"Go to waveform, single, then click send to noise osc" My head exploded from that alone, simply because I have some double fm patches involving the noise osc and I was limited to very few waveforms that it included (dont even get me started on trying to trim one wave on ableton 😂)

Very nice! I prefer using FM from Noise and set mod depth to about 50% and manually tweak the pitch of the noise and set the octave in the carrier signal if it's FM i'm going for at least. However I won't get it in key this way but good enough timbre to work with anyway

nice yeah both ways are cool! i quite like using a mixture of the two, textures can get super crazy that way. However i do really like being able to RM or Sync warp so that kinda forces me to do it this way. On the other hand noise osc modding the sync warp can also be aweosme af. On the other other hand filter fm with the noise osc is really tasty

Cool breakdown. The Noise OSC is also cool because you can drag any .wav sample into it, so you can layer in your own drum/instrument one shots or loops or anything into it, and basically you can have your modulation source have some tonal characteristics of say, a brass stab or drum break. Also, OSC A and OSC B can both use FM from the Noise on the Warp knobs, so you can always additionally do FM modulation directly onto an OSC from the Noise OSC. If you want extra wonkiness, play with the Phase knob on the Noise OSC while your sounds are playing, especially if you dragged a more realistic noise sample into the Noise OSC, because it's like playing with the playhead position in a granular FX. The Phase knob is like a sample start time, and the Random knob adds a bit of variation on top of that. The Noise OSC can somewhat become a granular OSC.
@MuteProduction

all good points, in particular that manipulation of the phase is super powerful, I quite like using the velocity to control the phase and pitching the noise osc right down! :)

When it comes to modulating the coarse pitch of the oscillator, I can’t wrap my head around the fact that ‘regular FM’ is pitched tracked as well, isn’t it, or am I missing something very obvious 😅 ? Basically why does FM from B with a saw doesn’t sound the same ? It’s actually phase modulation in that case I’m guessing ? Anyway love your sounds and sound design videos !
@MuteProduction
4 ай бұрын
fm from b is phase modulation, which can sound great too but imo fm is a more powerful technique. there’s a number of different types of fm, read this if your interested learningmodular.com/understanding-the-differences-between-exponential-linear-and-through-zero-fm/
I dont understand what is happening...is the oscillator modulating the noise wave or are we replacing the noise wave with the saw wave sample inside the noise oscillator and isnt this the same as just creating the same saw shape on an lfo and using it as a mudulator ause it certeanly sounds hte same to me..also which version of serum is this
@MuteProduction
4 ай бұрын
it is the same as using the lfo like that but it will track the speed of the ‘lfo’ to the key you press
