描述:爲什麽血清呢?
夢合成器似乎不存在:波表與一個真正高質量的聲音合成器,視覺和創造性workflow-oriented接口創建和修改聽起來有趣,而不是乏味的,和“深入”的能力期望-創建/進口/編輯/變形波表,并操縱這些在實時回放。血清有一個波波編輯器内建的權利-你可以創建自己的波波在各種方式。直接從音頻文件導入音頻-血清有多種方法和選項來分析音頻,将其分解成單個波形。當然,您可以導入單周期波表,也可以一次導入許多波表(通過内置排序選項或手動重新排序)。
超淨的振蕩器
波的回放需要數字重采樣來播放不同的頻率。如果沒有足夠的注意和大量的數字處理,這個過程将會産生聲音僞影。僞影意味着(也許是在不知不覺中)你的混音中充斥着不需要的音調/頻率。許多流行的波表合成器是驚人的不善于抑制工件——即使在高質量設置一些創建工件高達-36分貝,-60分貝(要求等級區别基本構件)是好聲音,而且常常抑制希望聲音頻率最高的過程,試圖抑制這種不必要的聲音。在Serum中,振蕩器的本地模式(默認)回放與超高精度重采樣一起工作,産生一種令人震驚的聽不清的信噪比(例如,在44100的1khz播放鋸齒上的- 150db)!這需要大量的計算,因此Serum的振蕩器回放已經使用SSE2指令進行了積極優化,以允許這種高質量的回放,而不需要比典型的(優質的)軟synth更多的CPU負擔。裝上血清,我們認爲你将能夠注意到你聽到的(堅實的高頻率,一直延伸到平坦的極限聽力)和你沒有聽到的(沒有多餘的泥漿或混疊的胡言亂語-隻是好的,幹淨的聲音)。
調制-以你想要的方式工作
調制系統允許拖放連接mod源和目的地。想讓LFO控制過濾器的關閉嗎?隻需拖動LFO标題到截止旋鈕。這個LFO->過濾器連接現在也會出現在Mod矩陣中。換句話說,您有兩種視圖/方法來創建和修改您的調優:有時列表很好,而其他時候您隻是希望快速簡單地完成工作。
實時波表操作
除了通過一組波(最多256個組成一個振蕩器)移動之外,你還可以在一個單獨的實時過程中操縱波形本身,這個過程被稱爲扭曲。這允許FM/AM/RM/振蕩器同步和許多其他方式來修改波形,包括“Remap”模式-一個圖形編輯器繪制自己的自定義表操作。
過濾器類型
血清包括LFOTool發現的所有過濾器類型,除了一些全新的。翻邊器,相位器,和梳過濾器,所有這些都可以鍵跟蹤到你演奏的音符。雙重篩選器類型允許您在篩選器類型之間進行控制或變形。創造性地使用一些非典型的過濾器流程,比如向下采樣,或者以前沒有發現的獨特的過濾器類型,比如聽起來很髒的法語LPF。
内置特效組
一個效果機架有10個效果模塊,讓你得到你的聲音一路到終點線内血清。效果可以重新排序到您想要的任何配置。幾乎所有的影響參數也可作爲調制目的地。這是特别有用的單音合成器。例如,應用LFO來控制混響大小或幹/濕,或速度來控制失真量。許多這些效果和模式是爲血清而建立的,因此有許多獨特的效果可供選擇,例如Hyper,它模拟(額外的)一緻數量,或雙波haper,它允許在兩個單獨的波形狀之間變形。
先進的一緻
血清将讓你堆疊一個振蕩器使用最多16個聲音。每一個可波振蕩器都有許多一緻的先進參數。堆棧設置允許音符(例如八度)分層得到一個更完整的聲音爲一個音符按。用unison WT Pos設置将所有的unison聲音都設置爲各自獨特的波形,或者用unison翹曲控制将它們都以不同的方式傾斜。各種一緻的調諧模式,每個振蕩器讓你得到堆棧的聲音開花或蜂群像你想要的。
Description: WHY SERUM?
The dream synthesizer did not seem to exist: a wavetable synthesizer with a truly high-quality sound, visual and creative workflow-oriented interface to make creating and altering sounds fun instead of tedious, and the ability to “go deep” when desired – to create / import / edit / morph wavetables, and manipulate these on playback in real-time. Serum has a Wavetable editor built right in- you can create your own wavetables in a variety of ways. Import audio directly from audio files – Serum has a variety of methods and options for analyzing audio for breaking it apart into individual waveforms. You can import single-cycle wavetables of course, as well as many at once (with in-built sorting options, or manual re-ordering).
ULTRA-CLEAN OSCILLATORS
Playback of wavetables requires digital resampling to play different frequencies. Without considerable care and a whole lot of number crunching, this process will create audible artifacts. Artifacts mean that you are (perhaps unknowingly) crowding your mix with unwanted tones / frequencies. Many popular wavetable synthesizers are astonishingly bad at suppressing artifacts – even on a high-quality setting some create artifacts as high as -36 dB to -60 dB (level difference between fundamental on artifacts) which is well audible, and furthermore often dampening the highest wanted audible frequencies in the process, to try and suppress this unwanted sound. In Serum, the native-mode (default) playback of oscillators operates with an ultra high-precision resampling, yielding an astonishingly inaudible signal-to-noise (for instance, -150 dB on a sawtooth played at 1 Khz at 44100)! This requires a lot of calculations, so Serum’s oscillator playback has been aggressively optimized using SSE2 instructions to allow for this high-quality playback without taxing your CPU any more than the typical (decent quality) soft synth already does. Load up Serum and we think you’ll be able to notice both what you hear (solid high frequencies, extending flat all the way up to the limits of hearing) as well as what you don’t hear (no unwanted mud or aliasing gibberish- just good, clean sound).
MODULATION – WORK THE WAY YOU WANT TO
The modulation system allows for drag and drop connections between mod sources and destinations. Want an LFO controlling a filter cutoff? Simply drag the LFO title to the cutoff knob. This LFO->Filter connection will now appear in the Mod Matrix as well. In other words, you have two views/approaches for creating and modifying your modulations: sometimes a list is nice, other times you just want the job done fast and easy.
REALTIME WAVETABLE MANIPULATION
In addition to moving through the set of wavetables (up to 256 make up a single oscillator), you can manipulate the waveform itself in a separate realtime process referred to as Warp. This allows for FM/AM/RM/Oscillator Sync and many other ways to modify the waveform, including “Remap” modes – a graph editor for drawing your own custom table manipulations.
FILTER TYPES
Serum includes all of the filter types found in LFOTool in addition to some brand-new ones. Flangers, Phasers, and Comb filters all of which can key-track to the musical note you play. Dual filter types let you control or morph between filter types. Get creative with atypical processes for filters such as downsampling, or the unique filter types found nowhere before, such as the dirty-sounding French LPF.
BUILT-IN SUITE OF EFFECTS
An effects rack with 10 effects modules lets you get your sound all the way to the finish line inside Serum. Effects can be re-ordered to any configuration you want. Virtually all effect parameters are also available as modulation destinations. This is especially useful on monophonic synth sounds. For example, apply an LFO to control reverb size or dry/wet, or velocity to control distortion amount. Many of these effects and modes were built just for Serum, so there are many unique effects to choose from, such as Hyper, which simulates (additional) unison amounts, or a dual-waveshaper which allows for a distortion you can morph between two separate wave shapes.
ADVANCED UNISON
Serum will let you stack a single oscillator to use up to 16 voices. Each of the wavetable oscillators have a number of unison advanced parameters. Stack settings allow for note (e.g. octave) layering to get a fuller sound for a single note-press. Set the unison voices to all have their unique waveform at once with the Unison WT Pos setting, or have them all skewed in a different way with the unison Warp control. A variety of unison tuning modes per-oscillator let you get the stack sound blooming or swarming like you want.
