[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...

[@davidjames149]

love this sound! thanks for the tutorial. Not a psy producer myself, more into minimal stuff but this is definitely helpful. I love how every genre of electronic music uses certain tricks and techniques that others don't, listening to lots of different music is essential

[@theocarabin1023]

look arist made minimal trance is name is Minimal Criminal

[@wickeddubz]

Thanks for that feeling, I listened for a few seconds and found myself in the forest on illegal party with friends. Tutorial - dual thanks for sharing the knowledge 🙌🏼

[@Scampyymusic]

Same haha just took a few seconds

[@danielhartl5134]

O felt the same . The feeling of arriving at high frequency music festival ! 👏🏼👏🏼

[@keelomythicalexperiencerec7581]

Bro @Mute Production...please make a tutorial on how you making all the other foresty sounds that are in the background of the song. Like the whale type squelch singing lead that's singing in the back and the atmost, and the bell sounds....Lol sorry for asking much

[@MuteProduction]

i’ll see what i can do for the whale squelch thing

[@TroyWalker-kc4dr]

5:25 is the sweetspot

[@x_x_6__]

Hey what was the note generator thingy you were talking about at the 5:43>? Sounds good, but I've got no idea what you did.

[@MuteProduction]

I tend to use Autoplay from Altar Of Wisdom

[@ashylarry416]

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!

[@Punklava05]

Hello, which version of Serum are you using? I can't find the "send to noise oscillator" option in the waveform editor Thank you

[@radamadam4309]

ya i dont have it too , help

[@robodopsnei]

I have the same issue…have you found a solution?

[@DigitalOhm]

@@radamadam4309 1.35 will give you this option

[@MuteProduction]

you need to update serum

[@Death_Rave]

"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 😂)

[@MuteProduction]

i know the feeling man, it’s life changing knowledge 😂

[@the_cursor]

Serum continues to be full of surprises. Great tutorial.

[@olliepsy]

what a technic !!!! As you mentioned, there's all kind of crazy sounds to be found, guess I'll be looking for them now ;)

[@MuteProduction]

try filter fm ;)

[@a4kata655]

Smashing. Can you make tutorial for a full on synth and fx??

[@sacredsonance]

How can I generate random notes? I'm using fl studio?

[@Mrx_-js9vi]

Hello thanks for the Tutorial but what RYthm for the MIDI Notes is that. I have a lot of Issues with the MIDI Notes

[@TroyWalker-kc4dr]

Frags of 12-24! Thanx. #omnirecordsstralia

[@TroyWalker-kc4dr]

6:32 pattern is fresh! Id keep that pattern for 16bars

[@fuzzupuzzu]

yeah, as u said i really dig this sound as well....

[@alienmindarts7030]

Amazing insight of one of the most pleasing timbers you can achieve using simple modulations! Great explanations as well! Thanks Shep! ❤

[@spiritualtheory4042]

Would be awesome with a tutorial on arrangement with those small sounds that just make your head spin around :P

[@Psytrudermusic]

Please make a tutorial of the process of kick and bass,this sounds fat

[@aidanviets7286]

Sick tutorial and very very lovely sound! Thanks for sharing it

[@MuteProduction]

thanks man! unfortunately i don’t have any releases yet!

[@aidanviets7286]

@@MuteProduction u should release your music! It's too good for being not published

[@joeljop3230]

I thought it was click bait xdd

[@NTMTR_OFFICIAL]

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]

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/

[@PATISHAH]

Thank you! Would be great to learn how to make that reverbertion on fx bell sound at 7:34. It sounds like you are inside of a big metal tube. May be you can share this project or sell? Im trying to find out how to get that reverberation, but cant find out which pluging can do it. That specific psy trance "synthetic" reverberation topic completely is very interesting.

[@MuteProduction]

I think the effect your looking for can be achieved with a very short delay or alternatively a flange/comb filter

[@MrZensphere]

Dope technique. Will try 👽👍

[@GabrielTrentini]

Thank you so much for sharing all this beautiful knowledge about Dark/Forest Psy oriented sounds. I really appreciate. Keep it Foresty!

[@philippederaucourt8473]

your voice is similar of Korg from Thor

[@oozly9114]

Awesome thank you

[@Kiw88d]

Sweet as! =D

[@EcoAncestralAmorico]

Hello !! Please help me, I try to follow the steps but in my Serum version there's no Send to noise oscillator option in the Table Edit.. why can it be?! I love this sound!! thanks for sharing, I hope I can achieve this sound is amazing!! cheers

[@MuteProduction]

you need to update serum

[@DaddaPsy]

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

[@MuteProduction]

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

[@DaddaPsy]

@@MuteProduction Gotta try that, experimenting with the noise osc is still quite uncharted territory for me. I know it's always been there but never really dived into it

[@MuteProduction]

@@DaddaPsy it’s very powerful! if only we could use osc a/b in the same way!!!!

[@mushroomsounds]

Awesome ! I make presets for Pigments mainly but if I had more time I'd love to explore Serum (sounds so good for those tight FM sounds)

[@MuteProduction]

pigments is fantastic, i think it might sound a bit better than serum even. But for me Serum has the best interface so i use it the most :) I’ve found with Pigments sample oscillator as a modulator you can get similar results to the effects in this video

[@urfavoritehumanbean879]

Thumbnail sold me

[@Jungli.Zenorah]

Dam some gnarly tones after experimenting with different wavetables and modulating the noise osc pitch. What else could i modulate with the noise osc for interesting textures and sounds?

[@MuteProduction]

phase, volume, sync warp, octave, filter cutoff…. just try everything

[@meeppeep4113]

I'm gonna use this!! Been wanting to find this technique for so long😅 Thanks for sharibg!🙏

[@die_Selbstdenker]

Dude this Technic is so insane, mostly the Noise osc controls the Parameter like over the Vibration coming from the Noise, this is Insane!

[@MuteProduction]

it’s is pretty cool huh!

[@jamesscade8479]

Legend! Thanks bro - this has given me some much needed inspiration after a patch of creative block

[@MuteProduction]

I hope this helps you through it bro 🥰

[@DrummerTurnedProducer.]

Kept trying this out last night. But once I get most set up and turn on the filter to start sweeping the cutoff Serum goes bonkers and keeps turning the filter off. If I keep turning it back on eventually Live crashes. Any tips?

[@MuteProduction]

hmm that sounds bad… perhaps try update serum?

[@Kdog708]

Nicky nair vibes

[@fuzzy2616]

i dont know how or why but i dont have that option to send to the noise oselator oof

[@MuteProduction]

you need to update serum :)

[@fearmx666]

You tha man!

[@gughffhhghgghghgg1690]

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]

it is the same as using the lfo like that but it will track the speed of the ‘lfo’ to the key you press

[@asiilannaofficial]

Heia , I'm missing "send to noise oscillator" option. How can I fix that? 😊

[@MuteProduction]

you need to update serum

[@philippebackprotips]

Sweet.

Thank you

[@djgoadev]

Thanks for wonderful video

[@syde7282]

i have only % instead of semitones in noise osc?? i have 1.334 ver

[@MuteProduction]

you need to click the keytracking button in the noise osc

[@theyhateddavid1062]

it seems like i don’t have the option “send to noise osc. “, might that depend from the version?

update serum

[@astrovicis]

I'm using vital and I can't for the life of me get that bubbly sound with the random oscillators modulating the pitch. It gets close, but it sounds so clicky compared to this.

[@MuteProduction]

try an lfo on keytrack mode to modulate the pitch

[@astrovicis]

@@MuteProduction yep, just found your Vital tutorial for Bubbly Nightpsy sounds; exactly what I needed. You're the man. Thank you!!

one of the nastiest patches i ever seen demonstrated, although im pretty much a novice. Thanks!

[@acidlover_303]

Veryyyy nice trick thank you so much for sharing it :)

[@chuckblain2020]

Haha freaking awesome 🤩🤩🤩 Thnx for sharing..

[@arseniy]

Is this possible to make this with just FM from one OSC to another?

[@MuteProduction]

no, fm from B/A is phase modulation whereas this is Frequency modulation

[@arseniy]

@@MuteProduction modulating with sine gives similar bubbly effect. Maybe just a different waves needed? I guess with pitch mod is just all easier.

[@MuteProduction]

@@arseniy you can achieve similar effects but I generally prefer the tones from FM to PM

[@AviPFine]

wow that is really cool. Im definitely goigng to use this! thanks

Thank you man. Your tuts always inspiring me 💫💫

[@rec.19]

that's so awesome. never knew that you could use the ''audio sampler'' as a ''time selector'' modulation, you get amazing new results with this instead of using the lfo or chaos all the time.

[@rec.19]

Just tried it, the amount of textures we can get from 1 fm as simple as a basic saw with a few modulations going. Awesome work brother.

[@noenduringcity]

Great tutorial! In addition to the great Serum tips, I was very interested in the M4L Autoplay device but I've recently switched over to Bitwig. I found that the Rhythmizer VST is a good substitute for Autoplay. Cheers!

[@MuteProduction]

indeed! I believe you can make your own device in bitwig as well :) also there is a vst version of auto play called the acolyte :)

YES! Thank you so much! I have always wondered how to make this effect/sound. It reminds me of a tune that was one of my favourites back in my rave days called Point Break by Sulfurex. kzbin.info/www/bejne/boibnpp6bb-irKc

[@theunconciousmind7314]

What is the noise actually modulating? The filter cutoff or the saw wave? Or what is modulating the saw wave?? Or is the saw wave modulationg the noise oscilator? But what are you doing with the lfo? 🤔

[@MuteProduction]

The noise oscillator is modulating the pitch of oscillator A. The LFO is not being used, I’m just drawing shapes in there to feed into the noise osc.

[@theunconciousmind7314]

@@MuteProduction because when you changed the lfo the sound also changed. Is the lfo wave used as noise oscilator?

[@MuteProduction]

that is correct
