If you check the unison options in the 'Global' tab, you'll notice you can change the unison mode for the two WT oscillators. By default, they're both set to 'Linear', which means the detune distribution is, well, linear, the voices are equidistant. But you can also set it to 'Exp', which makes the distribution exponential. Most importantly, there is a 'Super' option, which is halfway between linear and exponential, and if you want to make a supersaw, this is the option to pick, since this is the spread algorithm used in the JP-8000, the synth the supersaw sound comes from

love the melody you wrote!!! awesome tutorial and fairly easy for beginners like myself to understand

[johnnyeproductions]

I really like the movement this one gives! I normally don't use Serum for my saws but this one will be great for arpeggio builds!

[Djent]

Thats perfect, thats totally what i am looking for

Nice Demis now I do have serum so cool 👍👍👍👍

[slome]

Love it! Also the midi on this would be so instructive!

I've always used Sylenth1. It does pretty much the same if you know what to do.

For trance i think ana2 has a really good sound. Maybe is a my impression. Surely is not so easy to use as serum if i prefer phase plants

[Alkatraz]

Great tutorial!
Serum is a good vst just uses too much CPU i mainly use it for my Basses

Roland JP 8000 - legendary epic trance machine synth for trance music and others with richful sound.
Serum - just simple VST and sounds as plastic.

Good tuturial.make please fore Uplifting lead in serum.thx

[davecurtis]

Wow great tuturial. Is the rhythm a arp or keys? Any chance of Midi?

[konradzluh]

Makeng the same settings step by step the sound is not so clear and wide I have apollo Twin so not shitty interface... what effect do you use in the background or in serum? I have newest version of serum

Hi Demis, love your tutorials! Question for arpegio where there is no space between notes, can you get away with layering and is it possible to have a full one layer supersaw in Spire like in Serum? thank you.

[joostreitsma]

I have a question about how Serum works. Normally if you are mixing, you side-chain the reverb & delay to the dry signal to obtain a cleaner sound. Does Serum this by itself? And if not, should you use the build-in reverb and delay?

[IDrkStr]

What kinda progression is that idk if its the gated rythm or the key ur in or what

[ChrisJohnson-pcpd]

great video but I would have liked to see the midi in the very beginning so I can follow along with the same notes.

[patrickbreak]

I need the notes, that melody sounds awesome!!!
