Lux Cache SERUM 2 SOUND DESIGN STUDIES Part 1 - Exploring Potential In the Spectral Oscillator with Kai Whiston (PDF, Serum 2)
12/04/2025 | PDF, Serum 2 Presets | 38 MB
In this Lux Cache tutorial series, we dive into Serum 2—a bold evolution of the now-classic wavetable instrument, brimming with advanced synthesis engines, multi-layered modulations, and endless sound design potential. For our inaugural chapter, artist & Lux Cache director Kai Whiston unpacks the newly introduced Spectral Oscillator, demonstrating how collisions of controlled instability and refined technique can yield startlingly fresh textures. Tracing the line between deliberate craft and serendipitous discovery, Whiston highlights the role of “accidents” in shaping emotive timbres and how curated chaos transforms benign snippets into haunting sonic statements.
Alongside this tutorial, a pack of spectral-inspired presets for Serum 2, designed by Kai Whiston, is available.
