An Obsessively Detailed Course on Synthesis with Serum

Course Description:

When I think of Serum, I am immediately reminded of its versatility and depth as a synthesizer. It's not just a tool; it's a labyrinth of sonic possibilities, encompassing everything from FM to text-to-speech capabilities, and so much more. 🎛️✨

Serum is seriously brimming with cool features, many of which are often overlooked or not even documented. This is what prompted me to create the most in-depth sound design course focused solely on this powerful synth. Initially, I aimed to cater to the Serum Gurus—those who are already adept and eager to delve deeper into its intricacies. However, recognizing the potential scope of such an extensive course, I decided to include the basics, ensuring that everyone with a copy of Serum can join in on this sonic odyssey.

Course Breakdown:

This comprehensive course is meticulously divided into three distinct levels, totaling over 9 hours of content for every level of Serum expertise.

Level A - The Foundations (2.5 Hours) 🎓

In this introductory segment, we lay down the bedrock of sound design with Serum. You'll gain a solid understanding of:

• Oscillators
• Waveforms
• Basic Filters
• Envelopes
• LFOs
• Note Modulators
• Effects
• And much more! 🌱

Every concept is explained in granular detail, accompanied by practical examples and context to ensure a comprehensive grasp of the fundamentals. This foundation will equip you with essential knowledge not just for Serum, but for subtractive synthesis as a whole.

Level B - The Depths (3 Hours) 🧬

As we delve deeper, Level B takes you on an exploration of advanced Serum features such as:

• Custom Wavetables
• Image Synthesis
• FFT Bins and Additive Synthesis
• Hybridizing
• The Formula Parser
• And the secret sauce of Serum's capabilities 🔍

Here, you'll truly appreciate the power of math in creating custom Wavetables and much more. This level is where your understanding of Serum transitions from good to great!

Level C - The Experiments (3.5 Hours) 🎩

By now, you'll have a masterful grasp of Serum's potential. Level C is all about application and creativity. This final part of the course serves as a creative cookbook, offering a plethora of examples and real-life applications for you to experiment with and expand your sonic palette.

In this stage, we'll push the boundaries by:

• Using LFOs as Wavetables
• Crafting organic sounds with the Noise Oscillator
• Exploring Audio Rate Synthesis
• Tuning Serum to custom scales
• Mastering Polyphonic Modulation 🌟
