“ALTERNATIVE II” is an extreme high quality and super advanced Sound Design / Music Production suite. It includes Serum 2 presets and audio samples / one shots and therefore it allows full manipulation of each sound source. The outcomes of manipulating these patches are limitless. The sound focuses around all genres and sub-genres of the Alternative music spectrum but doesn’t stop there. The inspiration for it came from very modern / contemporary Alternative records of all kinds, movie soundtracks, as well as Nick Thurl Mavromatis' sound design process for his own projects as well as those of his clients. ALTERNATIVE II Sound Design suite includes: 200+ Serum 2 Presets 100+ Audio Samples / One Shots Watch full demonstration video: Preview ALL sounds: https://on.soundcloud.com/dxtlrBpMts0BwPd0Y1 Suitable (but not limited to) for genres such as: Alternative Rock, Alternative Metal, Darkwave, Dark Pop, Dark RnB, Trap, Pop-Punk, Industrial, Cyberpunk, Cinematic / Soundtrack, Alternative Pop / RnB, Shoegaze, Hyperpop, Gothic, Darksynth, Baddiecore and countless more... New features / sounds (compared to previously released packs): Double the amount of total new patches compared to other packs, taken from records released up to a few months ago or crafted for songs that haven’t even been released yet. Because of the introduction of “Samples” loading within Serum 2, many patches now using FM synthesis are being warped with sources including “velocities”. This allows the solid consistency in output volume that synths offer but it also allows for way more realistic, less robotic / dull sounding, expressive and unique sounding patches. Advanced vocal sample based patches for super modern leads that can now be manipulated as Oscillator inputs, loaded as “Samples” on top of previously using them only as “Noise” files. This allows way more advanced manipulation, more options as well as “Granular” synthesis applications for even richer outcomes. As always inspiration from artists / genres that weren't included In previous packs. More innovative sound design with techniques such as “Granular Synthesis” and extreme advanced techniques such as “Neurosynthesis”, that weren’t an option with previous versions of Serum (preview ALL patches / audio samples on SoundCloud). Hybrid drums taken to a new extreme level of quality thanks to the new Serum 2 sample loading capabilities and organised to Drumkit Folders so you don’t have to spend hours mixing and matching. Guitar patches and other distorted presets now don’t require extra levels of distortion outside Serum like they used to before. You’ll see patches that now stack between 2-5 different kinds of distortion in serial order or seperated by splitters. The extra addition of LFOs also allows for more expressive and detailed sound design on the distortion modules. You can use these presets alone or layer your real guitars, to get that modern “Alt guitar" feel. Plethora of classic synth sounds revisited and re-designed with Serum 2 insane new capabilities.
