Using Serum as a Sampler | Chris Gear

Pyramind sound design instructor Chris Gear is back with another Serum tutorial. In this video, he goes over the different ways you can use Serum as a sampler. First, he uses Serum’s built-in noise oscillator. Next, he goes over importing longer formed audio, and explains Serum’s audio import options to help you decide what would be best for your workflow.

It's impressing how much there is under the skin of this synth. Probably one of the best ever creative tool by long time. Kudos to Steve.

thanks for the share, are there not specific software made for manipulating wav files tho? not just editing, but full on "turn it into a different sound" kinda thing...

the plus icon isn't showing up for me

Hello, can you tell me how i can change the notes of the sample without changing the velocity, in case the sample is a loop the pitch changes the velocity....thanks

[ivansoto]

I love running one shots through Serum. Basically turns it into a 90's rompler. I would love the ability to add more than one sample/noise though.

Great video. Really well explained.
It would be cool if you could show us how to make pads, or even evolving pads, using samples in Serum or Vital. Cheers

you should do a tutorial on how you get your beard that perfect

I recommend You guys throw a D Esser on your voices… The sibilance is quite distracting

[DonnyDontDoes]

Fantastic video! Had no idea you could do some of these things in Serum.

[f.t.b]

For some reason the drag and drop aint working on mine. Any ideas?

[ChristianoRodríguez-hk]

Is good to produce sounds in analog synth gear then the sampling

[rij]

question is how to get rid of that distortion on your sample after import ?

[michaelwend]

Paid for serum synergy 1200 and it wont show up in Cubase 13 Pro
How can I get this to show in Cubase?

[vgabnd_kenji]

I want that Vocal Chop! Where can I get it???

[zeridium]

Great tutorial, but even though I have the latest version of Serum, I can't load wav samples neither onto the OSC 1 nor the OSC NOISE, you have any idea why??

[BobbyCrane]

does anybody know how to import a sample and then have it playback at the same length on ALL notes? I hate how the higher I go, the sample is shortened, and the lower I go, it's played back slower. Any way to fix this within serum?

[kurtjiagu]

Maybe using the noise osc only works on earlier versions of Serum ? I have ver 1.309 and it does not seem to work. Yes the noise osc is on and yes the files are .wav .... Maybe it is something to do with the Daw? which is Cakewalk by Bandlab ?

[CrazyFuzz]

Woow pretty cool, also but effect on your samples in serum?

[martinbreeson]

Great tutorial. I just wish you would have used a cleaner sample for the wavetable demo part.

[Submersed]

I totally forgot you could do this with it. The whole time I was using an ableton sampler when I could have used serum
