Bad Gear - SERUM for OLD PEOPLE

video upload by AudioPilz

"Welcome to Bad Gear, the show about the world’s most-hated audio tools. In times like these when normal people try to steer clear of questionable spending habits, true synth nerds are still stockpiling esoteric Eurorack modules, vintage restoration projects and overpriced VST plugins in a box.

Speaking of which, today we are going to talk about the Waldorf Iridium range. While young producers with an actual history of releasing music are currently benchmarking a Serum 2 torrent, these futurist top shelf instruments based on German technology seem to be the last missing piece in every middle-aged synthesist collection before their careers are destined to take off.

"Time for moar virtual analog goodness with the Korg multi/poly! In my second (perhaps third) look at multi/poly, I focus on some new and very "synthy" wavetables (and their component waveforms) that are inspired by — and perfect for — loading into your multi/poly, modwave, or any modern wavetable synth. (Such as PhasePlant, Vital, Serum, Eurorack hardware, Bitwig, Surge XT... I mean, pretty much whatever.) I explore 9000+ new wavetables from the new "KRC Synth Sort and Zero Crossing" wavetables collection and drop the usual synth programming and sound design tips-n-tricks along the way. So grab your spectral centroid and get ready for some hot subtractive synthesis action for this zero-crossings-a-go-go episode of your favorite talky synthesizer content show!

Bad Gear - Serum in a Box???

video upload by AudioPilz

"Welcome to Bad Gear, the show about the world's most-hated audio tools. What a time to be alive as a synth enjoyer! Ultra affordable clones of timeless classics, even the most obscure ways of sound generation are available for the price of one soul and samplers are now almost as powerful as they were in 1991.

Meanwhile, all these beautiful instruments have become basically irrelevant for actual music production and were replaced by gaming PCs with pirated copies of SERUM.

Today we are going to talk about moDWave. This family of wavetable synthesizer was introduced in 2021 and seems to be Korg’s attempt to bring the harshness of the aforementioned industry standard plugin to the hardware world. Is it SERUM in a box?
