Frequency, amplitude and ring modulation are available here too but the customizable remap mode is a favorite as it allows editing for a customized warp behavior. A Warp function allows you to manipulate the waveform by squeezing, stretching and creating lopsided (asymmetrical) changes as well. At the Core of ItĪt the heart of Serum are two identical wavetable oscillators which include a large selection of analogue, digital, spectral and vowel based sets to work with. Although other powerful wavetable synths like Zebra 2 from u-he and Waldorf's Largo also use wavetable synthesis, it is Serum's large focus on importable and easily editable wavetable sets that makes this powerful tool more accessible to all. The most commonly known wavetable software synth of today is Native Instruments' Massive and we all know the sounds that it is capable of, in fact, so much so that some of its wavetables like Modern Talking have become instantly recognisable due to their broad, or perhaps over-usage. In its simplest form the set can be a spectral sweep from one tone to another, or at its most complex in the case of Serum, audio files can be loaded-in as Wavetable Sets for an infinite possibility of spectral change. You can then cycle through or dart around these waveforms which allows you to move through the table's spectral content. In Serum's case, a set can consist of up to 256 individual waves. For those who aren't already primed in the wonders of wavetable synthesis, in place of generating sound using cycles of a single waveform like subtractive and FM synthesizers do for each oscillator, a set of waveforms are available instead.
