Sample to Serum 2

Analyses a sound and rebuilds it in Serum 2: a wavetable for the oscillator and a recipe for the rest.

Mac app (Apple Silicon) · for Serum 2
In development · coming soon

Sample to Serum 2 after analysing a saw bass: recognised as a single note E1, amp envelope, and the original and rebuild as two waveforms

What it does

A wavetable from your sample

Drop a bass, lead, pluck, one-shot or a chord of up to six notes. You get a wavetable with 2048 samples per frame, ready for oscillator A.

A recipe sheet

Root note, amp envelope, wavetable movement, pitch envelope, unison and detune, noise and LFO wobble, plus a classic version with a filter.

Compare A and B

Switch between the original and the rebuild while it plays. A similarity score shows how close it is: above 80 % is very close.
