Apr 17, 2020 Xfer Serum 2020 Crack for MAC and Windows was developed by Xfer Data, with its fascinating options, VSTi Serum is unquestionably what you might want to cre.
After three years in development, Xfer Records has at last released its eagerly awaited wavetable synthesiser, and a quick glance at the feature list makes it apparent that Serum (VST/AU/AAX) represents an earnest attempt to produce nothing less than the world’s most advanced instrument of its kind.
For starters, fancy software engineering techniques have been employed to create oscillators that produce inaudible amounts of aliasing (the inharmonic artifacts that can occur in digital audio).
The result is that Serum’s oscillators sound cleaner and slightly brighter than what we’re used to hearing from synth plugins. It’s most noticeable when playing high-pitched parts, immediately setting it apart from everything else on the market.
The A and B oscillators are built around the most advanced wavetable engine we’ve ever seen. You get a 2D waveform view by default, but clicking it reveals a beautiful 3D wavetable display that indicates the current wave cycle, or ‘frame’.
Waveforms can be blended statically or dynamically using regular crossfading or harmonic/spectral morphing, the latter mutating from one to the next by adapting the level and phase of individual frequencies.
You can import your own audio to create custom wavetables, but Serum has a full-spec wavetable editor built in to cater for the more hardcore user.
Under the ‘table
The wavetable editor enables you to manipulate the waveform on a graph display using an assortment of tools that vaguely remind us of the Performer in NI Massive, although with very different results, of course.
Alternatively, you can edit the waveform by adjusting frequencies on an additive graph (similar to that of Camel Audio Alchemy), or process/generate it using preset functions and mathematical formulae.
There are more editing options than we can possibly cover here in full, which is an ongoing theme with Serum – Xfer seems to have thought of everything, or at least made its best effort to.
A third oscillator is on hand in the shape of the sub generator (although it can be transposed up or down by four octaves, so the name is a bit of an understatement), which sports six basic waveforms.
The noise generator is in fact a stereo sample player, pre-loaded with every flavour of noise you’re likely to need. These include basic white noise variations as well as output noise sampled from classic hardware synths, and some ‘otherworldly’ alternatives.
The noise generator can run looped or in one-shot mode, so it’s ideal for synthesising percussion instruments – it even comes with a selection of drum kit sounds and a very handy set of kick drum transients; and you can also import your own waves.
The filter module takes its list of types from Xfer Records’ LFOtool and so includes a good variety of the usual analogue-style models (low- high- and band-pass, and notch) alongside a variety of combs, flangers and phasers, not to mention ring modulation, formant filter, sample- and-hold and various more esoteric types.
Modulation is handled by an intuitive drag-and-drop system, similar to that of Massive, but with a 32-slot mod matrix letting you see everything in one place, and advanced features such as user-editable curves and an auxiliary ‘via’ source for each slot.
In terms of modulation sources, there are three AHDSR envelopes and four LFOs shaped using the same refined LFO editor found in LFOtool. The LFOs also feature an envelope mode for building complex, multi-stage envelopes, and four macros are in place for bringing multiple parameters under unified control.
Two Chaos modulation sources can be configured in the global tab, too. These are largely intended to help invoke analogue-style nonlinearities, and they do that well, but you’ll find plenty of creative uses for them beyond that.
Visual treats
The whole Serum interface is alive with animated visualisations that make it easy to see what’s modulating what – from dots that move on envelopes as they’re triggered, to oscillator waveforms that twist and warp as they evolve.
One of the most interesting visualisations is that of the unison function found on Oscillators A and B, which gives a representation of how many voices are stacked (from 2-16), as well as their relative volume levels and detune positions.
The unison feature reminds us of Synapse Audio’s Dune 2, and like that synth, Serum offers a selection of five stacking modes, including “Super”, which appears to replicate the supersaw unison found on Roland’s classic JP-8000.
This sounds huge, but you may find that playing chords with heavy unison really starts to burden your CPU – an issue that Dune 2 doesn’t suffer from. Serum’s oscillators are dramatically cleaner-sounding, though, and you can take the default 4x oversampling down to 2x if more notes or instances is your priority (or, indeed, go up to 8x if fidelity is your priority).
A shot in the arm
We’ve only just scratched the surface of Serum here, which has so many deep and advanced features in its locker that we couldn’t possibly hope to fully convey everything it can do in just two pages.
This is a must-have instrument for the serious sound designer, although even preset junkies will be thrilled with the 450+ excellent factory patches. We’re not being overdramatic when we say that it’s quite possibly the most sonically versatile synth we’ve ever used, and certainly one of the best sounding.

Crack Software
Draw directly on the waveform, with optional grid-size snapping and a variety of shape tools. Generate or modify waveforms using FFT (additive). Create or process waveforms using formula functions. Processing menu options allow you to do the other tasks you would want, such as apply fades, crossfades, normalize, export, and much more.
The dream synthesizer did not seem to exist: a wavetable synthesizer with a truly high-quality sound, visual and creative workflow-oriented interface to make creating and altering sounds fun instead of tedious, and the ability to “go deep” when desired - to create / import / edit / morph wavetables, and manipulate these on playback in real-time.
Playback of wavetables requires digital resampling to play different frequencies. Without considerable care and a whole lot of number crunching, this process will create audible artifacts. Artifacts mean that you are (perhaps unknowingly) crowding your mix with unwanted tones / frequencies. Many popular wavetable synthesizers are astonishingly bad at suppressing artifacts - even on a high-quality setting some create artifacts as high as -36 dB to -60 dB (level difference between fundamental on artifacts) which is well audible, and furthermore often dampening the highest wanted audible frequencies in the process, to try and suppress this unwanted sound.
In the app, the native-mode (default) playback of oscillators operates with an ultra high-precision resampling, yielding an astonishingly inaudible signal-to-noise (for instance, -150 dB on a sawtooth played at 1 Khz at 44100)! This requires a lot of calculations, so Serum’s oscillator playback has been aggressively optimized using SSE2 instructions to allow for this high-quality playback without taxing your CPU any more than the typical (decent quality) soft synth already does.
The modulation system allows for drag and drop connections between mod sources and destinations. Want an LFO controlling a filter cutoff? Simply drag the LFO title to the cutoff knob. This LFO->Filter connection will now appear in the Mod Matrix as well. In other words, you have two views/approaches for creating and modifying your modulations: sometimes a list is nice, other times you just want the job done fast and easy.
In addition to moving through the set of wavetables (up to 256 make up a single oscillator), you can manipulate the waveform itself in a separate realtime process referred to as Warp. This allows for FM/AM/RM/Oscillator Sync and many other ways to modify the waveform, including “Remap” modes - a graph editor for drawing your own custom table manipulations.
Serum includes all of the filter types found in LFOTool in addition to some brand-new ones. Flangers, Phasers, and Comb filters all of which can key-track to the musical note you play. Dual filter types let you control or morph between filter types. Get creative with atypical processes for filters such as downsampling, or the unique filter types found nowhere before, such as the dirty-sounding French LPF.
An effects rack with 10 effects modules lets you get your sound all the way to the finish line inside Serum. Effects can be re-ordered to any configuration you want. Virtually all effect parameters are also available as modulation destinations. This is especially useful on monophonic synth sounds. For example, apply an LFO to control reverb size or dry/wet, or velocity to control distortion amount. Many of these effects and modes were built just for the app, so there are many unique effects to choose from, such as Hyper, which simulates (additional) unison amounts, or a dual-waveshaper which allows for a distortion you can morph between two separate wave shapes.
Serum for PC will let you stack a single oscillator to use up to 16 voices. Each of the wavetable oscillators have a number of unison advanced parameters. Stack settings allow for note (e.g. octave) layering to get a fuller sound for a single note-press. Set the unison voices to all have their unique waveform at once with the Unison WT Pos setting, or have them all skewed in a different way with the unison Warp control. A variety of unison tuning modes per-oscillator let you get the stack sound blooming or swarming like you want.
