CalypsoWorldFusionTechnoInstrumentalEpicWhateverMusic kind of demo in 9/8 featuring altogether six Serum patches from Free Style - some Macro/modwheel and volume automation, a limiter on the master output. I think I'll use this as the trailer music - the finishing line is visible, Serum rocks!

My 3rd set for Serum is here:

The third patchpool set for Serum explores this unique synthesizer to the bone, using conventional and more often unconventional sound design techniques. There are no restrictions, the goal was to create creative, inspiring and musical sounds with the best possible sound quality for each patch.

The palette of timbres in this set addresses and will inspire composers from many genres who are searching for smooth animated pads, complex soundscapes, intricate and minimal sequences, mellow and expressive leads, sparkling bells, percussive impacts, otherworldly noises, cinematic textures and gloomy drones.

Dozens of wavetables were extracted from the vast pool of patchpool samples, others were created inside the Serum waveform editor, images were wave-tabled/re-synthesized, many patches layer two wavetable oscillators and also incorporate the sample and sub oscillator. Numerous samples were created exclusively for this set, others were borrowed from various patchpool libraries. Each patch has four Macros and the modulation wheel assigned, velocity is used as an important modulator - not only for volume - many presets also use aftertouch, giving the Serumist deep control to shape the sounds and adapt them to a given musical context.

You can view/download the PDF for this set including the licence agreement, more info and a detalled patchlist here.

Specs:

101 patches (91.2 MB)
364.5 MB of samples, 29 wavs / 44.1 Khz / 24 Bit / stereo
119 wavetables (85 MB)
Library size in total: 540.7 MB
All patches have velocity, aftertouch, modulation wheel and four Macros assigned.

All demos were produced entirely with Serum using only patches from Free Style, no post-processing was applied apart from a limiter on the outputs and some volume automation, if several instances of Serum were used in a track.

A great sound set, full of diversity. Another great work (and a lot to learn, dissecting each patch....)
