Serum Tech & Progressive (Official Serum 2 Revamp) - NatLife

I am excited to present the reincarnation of my Tech & Progressive technical basses for Serum 2. I have completely redesigned this library of my most powerful basses, creating an extremely ultimate collection of absolutely diverse sounds.
Furthermore, this release is more than a simple rework. Instead, I created brand-new sounds specifically for the modern energy of Melodic Techno, House, and Progressive Trance. Nevertheless, I preserved the original core from 2015. Consequently, this library provides essential basslines for every electronic music style.

In this collection, you will find:

Powerful Guitar Riff-basses.
Punchy House basslines of the new generation.
Melodic-techno and robotic textures.
Sharp, cutting-edge neurofunk basslines.
Trance and robotic energy Basses.

Semiqiuncentennial Tension

video upload by Rhythmicons

"An EMS VCS3 does a throbbing drone. The Moog Model 10 is sequenced by a synthesizers dotcom q960/q119 with a little help from the Mos-Lab envelope.

The Serge comprised of licensed circuits by Elby Designs, Catgirl Synth, all lovingly paneled and assembled by Rich at Lower West Side Studios of Canada. There is a Buchla clone of a Source of Uncertainty module assembled and paneled by Jason Fry of Free State FX that is randomizing various parts of an M401 Multimode (Arp 1047 clone) also built by LWSS.
From the 401, the audio heads to the Analog Craftsman Gristleizer. The result is a little rhythmic bubbling.

The title is a nod to Tricky’s Pre-millennium Tension album but nevertheless reflective of the current zeitgeist.

But hey, no sirens this time!

In the meantime I crave my own."

"Ended up being influenced by Trance again with the e7 doing arps. Haven't used the Mega FM for a while but it is great for dark and dubby sounds. Each note is alternately panned left and right which is cool."

Made using only the PO-33. No DAW, just sampling, chopping and sequencing with this little wonder.

Fun fact: this track (and especially the whole You’ve Come a Long Way, Baby album) was one of my biggest influences and introductions to electronic music, so this banger has a special place in my heart. #PO33 #dawless #teenageengineering
