could you possibly do a tutorial on how make your own wavetable in serum, I'm a little tired of the stock wavetables and want to create something more diverse and "my own" if you know what I mean.
I'll try to explain the envelopes section a bit for ya but idk anything about the macros am still new to production and sound design lol. Envelope 1 controls how your sound is going to come through the output. Longer attack = it will come in slower. (Tip: if you're getting unwanted clicks at the beginning of your sound it could be because the attack in envelope 1 is too short, try increasing it just a bit so the sound will stay the same but now the click will be gone [hopefully]). All other envelopes (2,3,4) serve as LFO modulators, they won't affect your sound until you link them to modulate something. They're just a bit more of a unique LFO. Sustain controls how long your sound will be at maximum velocity (still referring to ENV 1). If the sustain is 0 the volume of your sound is going to fade very quickly, and how quickly it goes will depend on the decay setting. (This is how you make a plucky/one-shot sound- sustain at 0 and change the decay control how short/sharp you want the pluck to be) The Hold knob will change the length of your sustain. Haven't really used it much as I haven't really found a need for it. The release is like a mini reverb (ik thats wrong but I like to think of it that way). It controls how long the note/sound will reverberate after it has finished playing and passing through the decay phase. ALSO: if you're using release in the other envelopes and not in envelope 1, you will probably not hear the release effect from the other envelopes. You have to have some sort of release in ENV 1 so that the release on the other envelopes will work. It's weird but that's how it works. I highly recommend Zen World's master guide to serum playlist. At the beginning of his serum videos he will show and explain what all knobs do and then go and do an example of his own to showcase how the knobs can change a sound. He shows a lot of cool techniques (especially with the envelopes and filters) so you can get a basic understanding of how to make a pluck, growl, wub, etc.. Cool videos he's helped me understand serum a lot better than most tutorials. They're a bit lengthy (some episodes being 30-40 minutes long) but he goes into pretty good detail, I'd say it's worth the time.
Super helpful video!!
Great video!
GREAT VIDEO Bro.....💪
Didn't know much of this, thanks ghosthack
Good stuff mate
Fantastic video.
Good job man! Thanks. Never tried in Serum but try to at Noise at top of Saw Synth, it will make it richer!!!

draw them fr
Can you explain little more the macros and the envelope
