FANTASTiC | 02 May 2025 | 163 MB
Looking for some fresh bass sounds for your next production? Why not design your own from scratch? In this Serum 2 video course, electronic music expert Thomas Cochran shows you how to do just that with Serum 2, the hybrid softsynth powerhouse from Xfer Records. You'll not only learn how to create five different usable bass patches, but you'll also gain a deeper understanding of Serum 2 and synthesis in general. These Serum 2 videos are designed for Serum 2 users looking to expand their sound palette in the bass realm.

To start, Thomas shows how to build a vintage-sounding synthwave bass patch using the new Serum 2 wavetables and the sampler engine, demonstrating the powerful capabilities of each. This is followed by a plucked house bass sound, which Thomas creates by stacking multiple instances of the new warp modifiers - an enormous untapped resource in the sound design realm.

Next up is a modulated distorted bass sound that Thomas designs by way of the new routing and splitting options added in Serum 2. Then you'll learn how to make a modified sample bass via the sample oscillators, incorporating and blending acoustic sounds for a wholly unique texture. Finally, Thomas explores the spectral synthesis engine and wavetables to build a bass patch that wouldn't be possible in the first incarnation of this formidable synth.

If you're getting tired of your same old bass patches, it's time to take things into your own hands. Serum 2 is a staggeringly capable instrument, and with the knowledge learned in this Serum video course, you'll be able to start designing your own sounds as soon as you're finished.
