Using Serum as a Sampler | Chris Gear

[@alessionanni]

It's impressing how much there is under the skin of this synth. Probably one of the best ever creative tool by long time. Kudos to Steve.

[@rij2392]

1:26 min into the video and im already blown away.

[@Flux_One]

Great video. Really well explained. It would be cool if you could show us how to make pads, or even evolving pads, using samples in Serum or Vital. Cheers

[@ivansoto9723]

I love running one shots through Serum. Basically turns it into a 90's rompler. I would love the ability to add more than one sample/noise though.

[@bikeninja956]

thanks for the share, are there not specific software made for manipulating wav files tho? not just editing, but full on "turn it into a different sound" kinda thing...

[@ClintAnderson808]

you should do a tutorial on how you get your beard that perfect

[@DonnyDontDoes]

Fantastic video! Had no idea you could do some of these things in Serum.

[@martinbreeson9637]

Great tutorial. I just wish you would have used a cleaner sample for the wavetable demo part.

[@willievaughn6474]

You're simply amazing, Thank you

[@7saigon5]

Thank you sir!

[@IsraelIsLikeWater]

I recommend You guys throw a D Esser on your voices… The sibilance is quite distracting

[@mugatu8732]

to much compressed

[@IrreversibleJackets]

Thanks for the quick and useful tutorial!

[@ChristianoRodríguez-h3k]

Is good to produce sounds in analog synth gear then the sampling

[@feel4it39]

Awesome video 👏 👌 Especially for beginners

[@robotz4071]

Hello,can you tell me how i can change the notes of the sample without changing the velocity ?...... , in case the sample is a loop the pitch changes the velocity....thanks

[@ashtonhealan]

Thank you so much As simple as this is, I could not figure it out.

[@Submersed24]

I totally forgot you could do this with it. The whole time I was using an ableton sampler when I could have used serum

[@michaelwend]

Paid for serum synergy 1200 and it wont show up in Cubase 13 Pro How can I get this to show in Cubase?

[@FunDaBounceDJ]

Great little hack! Thanx for this!

[@BobbyCrane]

does anybody know how to import a sample and then have it playback at the same length on ALL notes? I hate how the higher I go, the sample is shortened, and the lower I go, it's played back slower. Any way to fix this within serum?

[@zeridium9129]

Great tutorial, but even though I have the latest version of Serum, I can't load wav samples neither onto the OSC 1 nor the OSC NOISE, you have any idea why??

[@yankalkan6643]

Did you find a solution?

[@zeridium9129]

@@yankalkan6643 not yet... very weird...

[@yankalkan6643]

@@zeridium9129 I made it. Drag serum and all samples to C: And It worked

[@cody0006]

Amazing tutorial

[@Hashtag_Laser]

Maybe try a louder vocal sample and I’m sure you’ll get better results. The percussion sample was really nice and clear. I’m sure the vocals could be just as good

[@CrazyFuzz8]

Woow pretty cool, also but effect on your samples in serum?

[@kurtjiagu4652]

Maybe using the noise osc only works on earlier versions of Serum ? I have ver 1.309 and it does not seem to work. Yes the noise osc is on and yes the files are .wav .... Maybe it is something to do with the Daw? which is Cakewalk by Bandlab ?

[@ccuny1]

Liked and subbed. Thanks a lot for a great into to sampling in Serum. If you are still responding to comments, please let us know how you would get rid of that click or last frequency hold you get when you reach the end of the wavetable. I suspect it's an easy thing but being a Serum newbie, I just don't know if you handle that through the envelope or if you can do both the FFT and a zero-crossing (which I suspect would get rid of the artifact). Thank you.

Super insightful- gonna design some sounds right now #inspired

any time!

great guide

[@f.t.b9719]

For some reason the drag and drop aint working on mine. Any ideas?

[@BruceWayne-yn6ur]

same here man. so frustrating

[@rij2392]

question is how to get rid of that distortion on your sample after import ?

[@KingsDenStudios]

Good info, thanks!

[@PyramindSF]

any time!

[@remylebeau3710]

Great video.

[@PyramindSF]

Thank you!

[@MrAculuss]

Does Serum only allow .wav files for importing? I'm trying to import an FL Studio preset and the sample isnt playing through serum at all. Am i doing something wrong?

[@BVK.]

Yes, only WAV

[@dezz__]

Thank you

[@Armonicyila]

thx lil bro

[@vgabnd_kenji]

I want that Vocal Chop! Where can I get it???

[@alessiotonio9340]

cant import on serum , only rly short things go ... what i can do ? my ram is good

[@swopeboi]

I cannot drop any files into the NOISE section. I've tried directly underneath and nothing works

[@apurvashanker]

Buy it, first.

[@lyubokostadinov4776]

@@apurvashanker Did you enable the noise OSC first? :D

[@medotata5356]

Make sure you have wav. file

[@RubiconRecordings]

nice one

[@1993alik]

Hi , is there a plugin that you can add fm syntesis and have controls like serum? Like the sampler of ableton but with structure of serum ...

[@PapuGuapu]

Serum is the best for frequency modulation (FM) synthesis just find some good tuts

[@alex-er3de]

that's fucking awesome.

[@bellectrarecords5934]

Interesting!

[@blazing1923]

Thank you so mush!!!!!!

[@robowen66]

Tried it all, none of it worked.

[@evenstevensteven]

How can the things in this tutorial "not work"?

[@evenstevensteven]

@Jan Lul what does any of that has to do with my question? I know how this synth works buddy

[@bci3937]

Wow, and now i can use IL Harmor image resynthesis add serum sampler stuff in a Instrument chain of Bitwig and...wtf* =D Thank u for that knowledge. PS: your Microphon, too much noise...peace

[@jedgould5531]

You started to make something. I wanted to know what that was.

[@newayk47]

Good video. However if you leave out the phrase “go ahead and” your script will flow better and it will not lose a scrap of meaning. Also a short silence sounds better than um or ar.

[@manantank4574]

you know what's the best noise oscillator ? in ya mic.

[@auroranamex5886]

How come I cant dragndrop any file into the noise osc

[@OfficialAHEE]

Pyramind has some awesome tutorials, this one the results are lackluster. You could of shared the same info with a more impressive result, I know you guys have it in you. Cheers.

[@halcyonkleos670]

No luck for me. Won't let me drop any WAV files onto the oscillator, even I select the 'noise' button first.

[@losangulos]

Nice synth but what about this guys voice going two octaves down and up? Pretty cool aAHH?!

[@PyramindSF]

hahahaha ooof

[@kirkgacias7828]

mind is blown

[@TheSyborgue]

i can't watch he too handsome

[@medotata5356]

For some reason, drag and drop doesn't work for me.

[@DJKlemStudios]

If you're in windows you need to go to user account control and remove all the restrictions.

[@sashmaster3433]

FILE HAS TO BE WAV!!!!

[@morgengabe1]

Serum is god.

[@taylorwells3723]

How come whenever I put a sample in the osc it just sounds like a saw wave?

[@WrongdoingProductions]

Why can't i drop samples to noise osc? I have to save them to a preset and load manually

[@ROQSTAR]

You need to turn on the Noise Osc before you can drag a sample. Otherwise it will not work.

[@WrongdoingProductions]

@@ROQSTAR Yeah i do that and still nothing

[@ROQSTAR]

@@WrongdoingProductions 1. Use latest version. 2. You need to use .WAV 3. If nothing helps try to drag in from arranger and then contact Xfer.

[@Unconsciouzone]

As a latecomer to the world of VST's. I have to say I find Serum to be kind of a one trick pony. I imagine that it's the perfect synth for anyone interested in deep sound design, but it's hard to plug this synth into anything other than the EDM/TRAP/DUBSTEP genres. The filters are unabashedly harsh (which I can imagine is a good thing for some artists) and it really takes some work if you want anything out of this thing other than "shrillex" If I had to choose between some of the heavey hitters...Massive, Sylenth, Dune 2, Nexus, Omnisphere...etc this would be last on the list. I put this synth in the same category as the Absynth series...amazing if it fits your focus...not very flexible if it does not.

[@marktilly7651]

I agree. Im not a huge fan of the sound of serum. Its sounds a bit rough for me.. its good for some things tho. Its a shame cause i love the interface.

[@Unconsciouzone]

@tom Waterson creativity and sonic preference are two entirely different things. Some people create amazing art with acrylics, others are ace with pastels. I just find this program a bit too 'digital" for my liking. (If that's OK with you)

[@theboofin]

You can make it sound like a regular analogue synth if you want.

[@Unconsciouzone]

@PushServer I'm certain that you could, but not without a bit of effort, and at that....only one patch at a time. There's really no need to defend this synth. I fully recognize that it's ace at what it does best....and to my ears what it does best, is harsh digital and pointed directly at the electronic dance crowd. (again nothing wrong with that...just not my thing.) Dune2, Massive, Nexus, Omnisphere...all of these are much more versatile (IMHO)

[@theboofin]

Unconsciouzone You just need to use analog waveforms. The waveforms that Serum comes with seem to be computed. I put Moog waveforms in and it sounds warm.

[@gipe8839]

OMG Computer background screen ....awesome....where can i get it??

[@katlegom]

you'll find it if you google search "yoda headphones wood"

why cant i drag a sample into noise-section of serum when hovering in the same way? cant get a green button somewhere showing that i can drop a sample

[@dabestisaiah]

ditto, u figure it out?

[@nathan.bouquet]

I hope you respond someday

[@marcellopez200]

If you can't do it that way just try to find the Xfer folder in your Library on your PC. Inside you should find a Serum Presets folder which contains another folder called Noises. If you put in sound files there you can later just load them up inside Serum with the Menu option. Hope I explained this well.

[@carlylefernandes]
