SERUM 2
Master Course

Understand every corner of Serum 2

Go deep on all 5 oscillator types, the filter engine, modulation matrix, FX rack, and features most tutorials skip. No more guessing what a knob does.

Learn sound design, not just a synth

The modulation principles, signal flow, and sound design thinking you learn here transfer to any synthesizer. You'll also build the skills, knowledge & confidence to design sounds in other synths.

Deconstruct any sound you hear

When you understand synthesis from the ground up, you stop hearing magic and start hearing methods. Reverse-engineer sounds from your favourite tracks.

Build a preset library that's actually yours

You'll design multiple sounds in each module. By the end, you'll have 50+ original presets you designed from scratch + the skills to make even more.

Sound design across 6 genres

Dedicated masterclasses in dubstep, future bass, trance, house, ambient, and drum & bass. Learn the techniques behind each genre's signature sounds. + Get access to future sound and genre breakdowns as they're made.

80+ lessons on every feature & workflow

Every lesson is hands-on. You'll be building sounds from day one.
