Granular Presets for Serum
Five presets built on top of my “granular” template modeled after Ableton Live’s Granulator II device.
These presets are extremely versatile but not for the beginner synthlord. The magic happens when you move macros and the mod wheel at the same time. Better if you have an extra hand (or automation).
What’s Included:
5 presets with macros, velocity, and mod wheel modifiers. And boy do they modify.

How To Use These Presets
Simply open Serum, load the preset, and start playing.
Move the mod wheel to change the size of the “grain window” from overlapping to choppy.
The first three macros knobs are the same thing in every preset - each controls a particular aspect of the granular synthesis:
Start Point - changes the wavetable position, which sounds similar to changing the starting point of an audio clip.
Window Speed - changes how fast or slow the grains “play”. At extreme speeds you can get brand new overtones.
Grain Length - changes how much of the wavetable is “played” during every grain. This can do interesting things when the window speed is very fast or very slow.
