By the way could somebody explain what warm and cold sounds actually are?
Warm sounds --> sound of wood cracking in a fire or the low freq sound of the shockwave of a nuclear explosion?
Cold sounds --> Inuit people having sex outside of their iglo's? Or maybe that sucking sound when you open a big freezer that has a bit of underpressure?
Also, if you have a hardware synth (I think they are all electric) and you take a good recording of the sound and then put it in Omnisphere (if you are Eric Persing) ... will is suddenly automagically sound cool now instead of warm?
Maybe warm sounds are those of producers with empty wallets and cool sounds those that still have money for donuts once in a while because they did not have to spend it all on collector item synthesisers?
I'm kinda lost, somebody help me!

Picked up Serum recently and love it. One complaint, though: Haven't yet found a way to control LFO amount/depth. For example, it'd be great to assign panning to an LFO, then have one of the Macros control the LFO depth so the user could adjust to taste. Maybe I missed something?
My impression of Serum so far: The programming, for anyone using NI Massive, is immediately familiar in many ways, yet the 'sound' of both synths is quite different. Of the 2 synths, I like Serum's sound better. IMHO, it's more full-bodied and warm, yet still has that edge many Massive fans look for. Serum's LFOs have a lot of the same functionality you get in Massive's "Performer" mode, however, it requires a bit of tedious extra work for the same result. Every synth has it's weaknesses though. Overall, I'd say Serum is on par with the big name players. And that GUI .....IMHO, absolutely perfect balance between eye candy and practicality (then again, everyone has their own tastes lol).

1. Drag and drop an LFO to PAN
then go to the MATRIX
2. In the 'LFO to PAN' mod connection slot you just made, go to AUX SOURCE and select Macro 1.
Done.

You're fine to do whatever with what you have, but distributing is another thing altogether...highkoo wrote:If we own the synths in question its at the very least a gray area.
I can rip a rom from one of my old SNES games, but to put that online for everyone is going a bit far.

Oh, yes I agree.arkmabat wrote:to put that online for everyone is going a bit far.
I wouldnt do that.
But that guy over there did...
Yeah I dunno.
I guess Im fuzzy on the rules with ss wavs?
I own the software in qusetion, not the hardware. Is it 'illegal' for someone to give me wavs recorded/output from the hardware? No, right?
Delete if it breaks the rules, please. But its just a link to Reddit. I did not think they allowed piracy type talk there.

I'm digging that harp and what I've heard so far. Will have my preorder in soon.
