I found a neat trick for Serum. I don't think anyone has found this before but bother me if you have
1. Set Osc 1 to a saw wave and set Osc 2 to a square wave
2. Set Osc 2's warp mode to "FM from A" and set it to 65%
3. Set Osc 2's phase knob to a triangle LFO ranging from 40% to 60%
4. Set Osc 1 and 2's fine pitch to the same LFO

You should now have a cool sounding "waoaw" lead thing. The reason behind why it has that sort of formant-type sound to it is because modulating the Phase knob changes how both waveforms interfere with each other by changing Osc 2's position (phase) on the audio line thing or whatever. Also the FM thing makes it sound even cooler.

You can also use serum as a sampler!!! I was mindblown when i found out. A cool trick is to take a real life recording.
A plucked instrument works perfect in this instance like a single guitar note or a bell sound.
First, what you want to do is create a wavetable out of that. In the formula section in the wavetable editor (it was shown on the video around 7th minute mark). Pay attention to the pitch of the sample, C0 might not work as good as C3.
After you generate the wavetable morph it (either mode can work, up to your preference) and maybe consider removing the fundamental (again up to your tastes and needs of the sound)
Then export the same sample onto the noise oscillator (yup!)
Essentailly, noise oscillator is just a sampler with bunch of white noise loaded in but by all means, if you want to have a cat meow in serum, here's how you do it.
Route LFO1 to WT POS of the generated wavetable putting in onto a saw shape (so it goes from down to up, looking moreless like this "/") and play around with unsynced rate of the LFO1 to match the speed of the sample to make it sound organic. If you do it right, the effects are mindblowing!!!!

I'm always dubious when I see tricks nobody knows. But hey, I didn't, and now I do. Good stuff

Using modulation of the formant filters, I managed to get serum to say "yeah hop" and, if I start the sequence slightly earlier (with the midi notes), "get off." It sings. 👍

Thanks for the tutorial! You finally showed what I did not know and that in the future will help me in writing electronic music! Thanks a lot!

Just so you know, at 6:35, those aren't hidden wavetables, they're different formulas serum inputs to change the wavetable
