New Serge Demo on YouTube

Great demo! I can't wait to get my system now. I was hoping to see some examples of the
creature with another m-module so I was ecstatic when I saw your video. Thanks and
keep up the good work.

It's a pretty noisy little beastie for only one oscillator!

Thanks everyone for your positive feedback!

Of course, it starts getting difficult to define the number of
oscillators on a Serge. My first impression when I saw the panel
design of the Creature was that it had no oscillators! But the drone
patches on that video had essentially 5 independent audio-rate
sources: 2 from the TGC, 2 from the TGO and 1 from the SSG. On the
other hand it is also easy to patch program the same system so that it
has actually does have 0 'oscillators'. The results are not so
interesting. Until you route the output to another oscillator. And
then it gets a little bit too interesting for my taste ...

let me add my own praise to the heap.

Also, add one to the number of oscillators, 'cause you can patch the VCF
to oscillate (in quadrature, no less).

Hi Kkonkkrete,

The Creature is really a Swiss army knife of functions!
That's the kind of thing I'm looking for. And that you
have so much possiblities in a so, but not crammed space.
What me strikes is the clear beautiful sounds the Serge
can produce f.e. waterdrops. Bass sounds sound really warm
and it can make the greatest noise if want it to.
Thanks man, for this demonstration!!
Are there more to look forward to.
Not in a short while of course, these set ups take hours of
time, but in near future somewhere?

I'm curious what you mean by the Phrase "and then it's get's a little
bit to interesting for my taste?"


Cheers,

Roel

I'm glad you liked the demo! It's a cliche to get excited about a
synth's filters, but I think a lot of what you are talking about comes
from the excellent filters on the serge. There are audiophile grade
components in there that give it an incredibly 'acoustic' and
'detailed' sound. The gate output on the left hand side of the TGO is
also a fantastic tone. In the bass register it sounds almost like a
bass clarinet. Really full.

I don't think I'll be able to post another demo soon as I'm going to
be away from the system for a while, but I really enjoyed doing it, so
I'm sure there'll be more later. I also owe Hans and the Serge CD
people a couple of new cover designs, so I should work on that instead!

I just meant that with any modular there are so many way to generate
really random sounding junk. Sometimes that's exactly what you need.
But most of the time patching a system so that it does something
'theoretically' interesting is not the same as patching it so that it
does something 'musically' interesting...

It maybe a cliché to get existed about filters, but damn they are so
important for the soundshaping in a synth! I mean with a great filter
with enormous range your halfway there finding your favourite,
special sounds.

Thanks for pointing that out. I'll memorize the left gate output.
When I get my Creature and Triple Osc. I'm not going for the quickest
way to find something suitable. No. I'm doing it slow. Patch one
thing, listen how it sound, what it is I'm hearing, trying to analyse
what's happening. For me that's the best way to proceed, to learn the
trade!

I'm looking forward to the new Serge cd. The old one was I think
pretty amazing.

Ah, I know what you mean. That's true, weird noise you can have in a
jiffy, but musical interesting sounds take time and precision. And
you have noise and noise.
