Wow I just found this by searching for "mapping mod knob serum ableton" and I got a whole lot more than I expected! Amazing tutorial I liked and subscribed!
Dude this is insane, never even thought this kind of modulation was possible without some insane automation and LFO work. Your view and take on synthesis is so interesting to learn from, loving the videos dude
That's dope af. I've been trying to figure out how to make a stomach growly farty buzzy bass kinda like you hear in pixel terror tunes and I had no idea where to start and this video shows me where to start. Muchos gracias!
Not only are you someone who is really well versed in legitimate sound design, but you are perhaps one of the few musicians that teaches their audience WHY things sound the way they do rather than "hey do this it sounds cool lol".
I've been producing for 20 years now. I'd say my knowledge and skills are somewhat decent. But after watching this I feel like a total n00b. How are you coming up with these ideas? Guys like you have a deep understanding of what is actually going on. Respect :)
For anyone who can't get their waveform to loop seamlessly: I found that I had to render/freeze the MIDI to 48K 32-bit audio for it to loop without clicks. Any other configuration would lead to audible clicks as well as imperfect behaviour as a modulator in Serum. Once the audio had been rendered, it still looped perfectly once converted to 44.1K 16-bit. For some reason though, freezing the Serum MIDI with those settings never yielded the same result. I'm using REAPER but I'm guessing this might also occur in other DAWS - perhaps even Ableton. Hope this helps. Also - get Au5's sound design course ya shmucks
This is really cool! If you like this, get into Reason! It's been able to have live audio modulation since version 4. All you have to do is run audio into thor, run it out as a cv signal, and modulate what you want!
yea the noise mod thing was cool but aux mod is the thing i was looking for for ages and started thinking its impossible... I always learn so much from these videos aside from the topic it's mainly about
Dude, just came across this video of yours from years ago, and just realized that what you said at the end of the video may just be what you've shared on your Instagram the other day? 🤔 Nevertheless, awesome video, and thanks for sharing these weird intricate tips and things, because I've come to realize that music production is more than just notes and sounds, but also the weird and whacky things you discover along the way, and just straight up out of the box usage for various different things. And that's one thing I know you do a lot, and I appreciate that 😌
Every time I watch one of the mini tutorials, some parts of my brain just implode on the load of information and the possibilities that Serum inherits, and which Austin is discovering. Thanks so much for the ongoing uploads of techniques and secrets! Greets from Germany :)
Idk about Ableton, but in Reaper you can modulate any VST parameter by essentially sidechaining it to another audio track. If you set the attack and decay of that sidechain to zero, you can get a similar effect to here, but with live audio.
I used the Adventure Kid Waveforms, they are single cycle already so lots of fun too be had with all of those as the noise Osc. Plus the VST 3 format will let us use external audio as a source.Once Live 10.1 is released(can use VST3's) and Serum becomes a VST 3 synth/fx.(if its not already..Steve?)Cheers Mr S
I actually imported a lot of single cycle shapes in the noises just for FM, especially if I wanted double FM and the sub shapes weren't exactly what I wanted to use, but I never thought I could use it to modulate it directly, sometimes it creates FM but not necessarily, that's a really cool technique
I've tried that a long time ago, but kept encountering a problem. When I routed a modulator into the audio input it would take the plugin at least 1 full minute to produce an effect. How successful was the FM8 method for you?
Buddy at my work likes to say being a producer is just pushing a button and that's it, can't wait to show him this as I have no idea what the fuck you're doing 👍🏼
I feel like I am doing something wrong because when I automate some parameters say the pan, warp and cut off and raise my macro knob, I get these interesting effects but lose the tonal value of the note, like the effects seem to just be 'noise' rather than a note being manipulated if that makes any sense at all. The note loses its harmonic integrity to put it in posh speak :D
You're an absolute legend for doing these! One request - if you could slow down your talking a little bit it would be helpful. Just because you're giving us a lot to take in :)
without going into great detail like Meredith tried - phase over time IS frequency. if a sine wave is the modulator then the interpolation is effectively equivalent. So we may as well see this latter part of the video using the variable delay as MIDI sidechained FM. Unfortunately we don't have the capacity to set up a complex modulator here with another FM operator by modulating the modulator a.k.a. frequency modulation index. If we dump a sample into sampler and in the oscillator tab turn on FM we get a pretty good darn control there but unfortunately we have to load in an entire sample so we don't have real time, and although we get an ADSR we can't modulate the modulator. This concept keeps coming up and it just seems like nobody's made one. Then I start thinking will shit maybe I should just do it and Max so I have it… But is that really true nobody has made this?
You are my fav EDM artist. So different and inspiring. Your tracks always give me chills. How do you produce the sound that sounds like a creaky door opening in one of your monstercat releases?
an interesting note about FM in serum. from my testing, the "FM" A to B, or B to A is actually phase modulation, and FM from the noise or sub oscillators into A or B is frequency modulation. it's very common for synths to refer to both of these as FM, which leads to a lot of people using the terms inconsistently. what's going on at 6:19 with the chorus is also a version of phase modulation, because modulating the delays of the chorus effectively moves back and forth over the waveform, which (more or less) changes the phase. it might still sound different than modulating using "FM (from B)" (this was hard to test, i don't entirely know the inner workings). "FM (from B)" seems to pair up the individual unison voices between the modulator and carrier (or something like that). the chorus trick grabs the whole sound, after unison, and phases over that, by a much larger amount. the way I always check if something is PM or FM is the behavior with a few different waveforms as the modulator. note, if you use "FM (from B)", then B is the modulator, and if you use "FM noise OSC" then noise is the modulator. start by making the modulator a really low pitch, like 1hz or something, with the carrier at a normal audible pitch, e.g. around middle C (in serum i've found it's easiest to play a low note and pitch the modulator down and the carrier up). a triangle wave modulator with PM will make two distinct tones, and switch between them (no sliding/gliding sound). a triangle wave modulator with FM will slide between two pitches. a square wave modulator with PM will probably make a bunch of glitchy clicking sounds (depends on the exact square wave the synth puts out). square wave modulator with FM will jump between two sounds without gliding. you'll probably have to move around the FM amount to hear the difference, and keep in mind that if it's too high, the pitch can flip all over the place because it's going below 0hz. note those triangle wave tests with the noise OSC -> chorus setup shown here don't seem to work (not sure why, it seems to work with higher modulator frequencies). a useful way to think about it is that phase modulation is a version of frequency modulation with an extra step. FM takes the modulator and maps it directly to the frequency of the carrier, similar to using an LFO to change the pitch (not exactly the same because it's frequency and not pitch :P). with PM, we take the rate of change of the modulator, and map *that* to the frequency. that is, if the modulator is moving up in a straight line (like the upwards part of a triangle wave), then the frequency stays still at a high value, and if its moving down at a consistent rate, the frequency stays still at a lower value. this explains the square wave modulator with PM too, because a square wave has two flat lines. a flat line is not changing at all, so most of the time there's no effect, but there's a really fast change to switch between the high and low parts of a square wave, which tends to make a glitchy click. curved waveforms get more complicated, except sine is almost the same in both PM/FM. the other difference is that PM will effectively modulate the pitch, rather than the frequency, so a triangle wave modulator with PM will move the same amount of semitones above and below the normal carrier pitch. some of the finer details might also vary between different synths, but hopefully i've covered the general ideas involved with PM and FM.
You should take a look at Bitwig's audio rate modulation. It does exactly what you're looking for, and allows CV like routing between any parameter of a VST and any audio source (including live audio)
I Don't understand how he can put so much high end and movement into his sounds and have it not get all swishy and lose all of its attenuation when it gets uploaded to soundcloud. But everytime I hear an Au5 track on soundcloud it sounds pristine. My mind is always blown.
I looove the sounds you're getting out of this technique!! Unfortunately no matter what I do, the samples I make of the sine waves for use in the noise oscillator always seem to make a little static noise when it the sound loops. Is there a way around this??
Very advanced technique, genius actually. Au5, I've always said you were the most talented producer there is, even back in the day. I've been producing for 5 years and this shit, along with the hyper growl tutorial are baffling. I doubt you'll answer since this video is so old, but what instruments did you play growing up? When did you start producing? I've noticed my 15 years of piano helped me so much when I got into producing
Hey is there by any chance you can link the noise file? i tried doing this in FL studio and things just didnt sound right,and i tend to get confused on alot of these tutorials. thanks !
I back this idea, and personally I'd love to get Serum in FL however I'm not sure what would be different in this tutorial if I used Serum in Fl opposed to Ableton. (I'm assuming that's Ableton.)
Hmm that's pretty smart. I would of never of thought of that....guess I'm not smart. This gave me a lot of ideas to try though. You could use a reed or some insect sound like a locust....
you may have to hit "show in browser", make a copy of it by ctrl-dragging, and drag the copied file into the noise osc. windows does not like to use audio files that are already in use
@@au5music ahh not to worry my dude I exported it as a Wav and was able to drag it right into the osc as a wav file but thanks for the prompt response, much appreciated!
Hey.. At 4:45 you say you have 'the noise oscillator with the amount mapped to macro1, modulating the cutoff'... How do I do this? Is this 'amount' the noise oscillators level knob - I've been dragging macro 1 onto that and I think I've got that part wrong?
Hey you need to go into the matrix and set macro 1 as the "aux source" of the noise osc modulation. The aux source lets you modulate the amount of the mod source.
Epic tutorial! I have a feeling if you turn on the x4 quality setting you will hear much more resolution in the sound, particularly in the high end. For FM sounds it does anyway, and it makes a really big difference. Interesting what you did with the external instr device. Are you sending midi information AFTER the operator, or is the midi info and the audio from operator coming side by side? I guess it's whatever way serum listens to it's inputs?? Nice lil head spinner anyway lmao
The midi LFO patch has key tracking. Surely that is an easier way to replicate this effect no? With regards to audio in it would be quite easy to (at least in live 10) route audio to it as a mod source instead although in that regards wouldn't you just have an envelope follower instead?
Sure, but why spend the extra time trying to perfectly sync to your note when you can import a sine wave already perfectly tuned? Also this is Serum-exclusive so any DAW user can use this without needing M4L or Ableton.
Because there is literally no setup it has key tracking, its one click to get it to sync to the key pitch. Also because this is synth agnostic... and you can map it with not much modification to multiple synths at once (or using an instrument rack macro with zero mods)
9:49 you got it!
You're a genius, Steve! Thanks for blessing us with this spiritual technology, stoked on what's to come :)
legend, steve! so cool to see you involved with the community
How do we do it though because that sounds super useful
thanks for making this brilliant instrument, much love :D
I've seen this addition in the plugin it's great! although right now I believe the noise in can only be mono is there a fix for this?

the other difference is that PM will effectively modulate the pitch, rather than the frequency, so a triangle wave modulator with PM will move the same amount of semitones above and below the normal carrier pitch.
some of the finer details might also vary between different synths, but hopefully i've covered the general ideas involved with PM and FM.

I have a feeling if you turn on the x4 quality setting you will hear much more resolution in the sound, particularly in the high end. For FM sounds it does anyway, and it makes a really big difference.
Interesting what you did with the external instr device. Are you sending midi information AFTER the operator, or is the midi info and the audio from operator coming side by side? I guess it's whatever way serum listens to it's inputs?? Nice lil head spinner anyway lmao
The midi LFO patch has key tracking. Surely that is an easier way to replicate this effect no? With regards to audio in it would be quite easy to (at least in live 10) route audio to it as a mod source instead although in that regards wouldn't you just have an envelope follower instead?

Sure, but why spend the extra time trying to perfectly sync to your note when you can import a sine wave already perfectly tuned?
Also this is Serum-exclusive so any DAW user can use this without needing M4L or Ableton.
Because there is literally no setup it has key tracking, its one click to get it to sync to the key pitch.
Also because this is synth agnostic... and you can map it with not much modification to multiple synths at once (or using an instrument rack macro with zero mods)
Oh p.s. the note# mod source in serum allows you to do the same sort of modulation using an LFO.
