Chords for Serum Tutorial - Custom Piano Noise Sample

_ _ _ [A] _ _ _ [G#] Hey guys, this is Echo Soundworks with a Serum tutorial for _ adsrsounds.com.

That's T-U-T-S.
So in today's video I'm going to be showing you a cool tip and trick on how to turn your
noise oscillator and Serum into a actually full-fledged — well not full-fledged, but
how to actually use it like another oscillator.
_ So what I did was I was [D] playing around with some custom wavetables I created, and I was
saving them in some folders, and I saw that Serum has a directory for your noise samples as well.
And I thought, oh it would be cool if I could actually load in my own.
So what I did was — and I'll show you where this is at for all you Mac users — click
on Go or just navigate to your library.
And then you're going to go to Library, click on Audio, _ Presets, Exit for Records, Serum
Presets, and you'll see all these folders — LFO Shapes, Noises, Presets, System, Tables.
And this is where the manuals are stored.
So for you PC users, I would just search — the easiest thing — I would search for Serum
Manual, and then that will find wherever these are stored, because that's where it's stored
inside of Serum.
But I saw that you can do noises, so I made a new folder, called it User, and I went back
to my DAW, which is Logic, to see if it showed up.
And it does.
You'll see here I have a User folder, which I thought was really cool.
So I started to think, okay, what _ crazy things can I do instead of just doing noise generators?
And I was like, oh, it has a key tracking function.
Let's see if I can actually load in a piano sound or something crazy.
And right now I'm going to play that for you.
So I have a piano loaded up inside of Serum, and it's on the noise oscillator.
So let's play that real quick. _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[Em] _ _ [F#m] _ _ _ _ [E] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [D#] _ _
_ _ [Cm] _ _ [G#] _ _ [B] _
Now admittedly, it's a very basic and generic piano sound.
It doesn't obviously give you velocity and all that stuff, but it is really cool to think
about that you can load up any sound that you create, that your heart desires in this
noise oscillator, and key track it and actually layer it with your sound.
So what I want to show you is I'm going to turn on my sub-oscillator and turn on my filter,
and I have a little progression that I made up.
And I'm going to play this with just the sub and noise, and you can see how full the sound already is. _
_ _ [F#m] _ _ _ _ [E] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [A]
So I mean, that's already a sound in and of itself.
_ [Em] _ _
_ _ _ _ [F#] _ _ _ _
[Bm] _ _ Well, the cool thing about this is, I still, as you can see, oscillator A and oscillator
B are inactive.
So let's turn those on [B] and listen to this.
_ _ _ [F#m] _ _
_ _ _ [E] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [B] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ And it's just a simple sound.
There's not a lot going on with modulation, things like that.
It's just a low-pass filter.
It has some effects on it. _ _ _
[F#m] _ _ _ _ [E] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [B] _ _ _ _
[F#m] _ _ _ But I found this to be a cool thing to do.
I started messing around with it on bass patches, wobble patches, just some really cool things.
And basically, your imagination or whatever you can envision, you can basically do, which
I thought was awesome.
So if you guys have any questions or comments, let me know below, and I'll get back to you
as soon as I can.
So as always, thank you so much for watching.
I'll see you next time.
