Mastering Wavetable Synthesis in Serum
Two of the most common questions people have once they start working with Serum are ‘How do I know which wavetable to use in Serum and when?’ followed by ‘How do I know what the warp modes are going to do to that wavetable?’
Led by Echo Sound Works, this 2.5 hour video course will help you answer those questions and set you up to master wavetables synthesis using Serum.
Want your technical skills to match your creative aspirations? Get more out of Serum and improve the way you approach sound synthesis skills with proven techniques, tips and tricks. Check out Mastering Wavetable Synthesis in Serum now!

Serum’s Most Powerful & Exciting Features – Yours To Control

Module 1 : Understanding Wavetable Synthesis

This module looks at how wavetable synthesis differs from virtual analog synthesis and how those differences become important in the sound design process.

PT1: Introduction – This video details the scope of the course
PT2: Serum GUI Overview – A quick, yet thorough overview of Serum’s GUI.
PT3: Understanding Basic Waveforms – This video looks at the core of all wavetables, the basic waveform. If you know what each basic waveform sounds like, wavetable synthesis becomes a lot easier!
PT4: Why Wavetables Are Unique – Wavetable synthesis is so popular because it can do really unique things. This video looks at that and how it relates to sound design.
PT5: 3 Types of Wavetables – Learn the 3 core styles of wavetables in Serum and how you can use them for sound design.
PT6: Oscillator Controls – This short video details the basic controls of Serum’s oscillators.

Module 2 : Understanding Warp Modes In Serum

Warp modes are a huge element of sound design in Serum, or at least they should be. Using warp modes will help make a sound more unique and identifiable to a listener. Serum comes packed with a lot of warp modes and this module breaks them all down.

PT7: Sync Warp Modes – Learn what this warp mode does and how to use it on certain types of presets.
PT8: Bend Warp Modes – These are some of my favorite warp modes for Serum and using these correctly can really make a sound pop out of the mix more.
PT9: PWM Warp Mode – Learn how to use pulse width modulation in Serum to create both modern digital sounds as well as analog inspired ones.
PT10: ASYM Warp Mode – Learn how to use these three lessor used modes to create some unique sounding wavetables.
PT11: Mirror and Flip Warp Modes –This mode creates some pretty intense effects, see for yourself!
PT12: Rempa Warp Mode – This warp modes is essentially a waveshaper. Being able to use a waveshaper within a wavetable is incredibly powerful!
PT13: Quantize Warp Mode – Learn how to make video game and 8 bit sounds with this warp mode.
PT14: FM Warp Mode – FM or frequency modulation is a whole type of synthesis and Serum’s implementation of FM synthesis on an oscillator level is brilliant. Learn how to use it on things like basses and leads in this video.

Module 3 : Creating Custom Wavetables In Serum

In the past, creating custom wavetables took a lot of math and patience. Serum gives you multiple ways of creating custom and unique wavetables to fit your sound. This module looks at my favorite methods and how you can create clean, professional sounding wavetables in minutes.

PT16: Creating Custom Wavetables from LFO’s – Learn how to make custom waveforms from simple of complex LFO’s
PT17: Custom Wavetable Resample – Learn how to resample serum to create wavetables.
PT18: Creating Wavetables from Pictures – Learn how to import pictures into Serum to create wavetables.
PT19: The Wavetable Editor – Learn how to create wavetables in the wavetable editor and how to clean up samples in the editor for polished, mix ready results.
