SERUM 2'S SCI-FI HORN TRICK

Turn a vocal into a stab horn.

Load a vocal sample into Serum 2's Wavetable oscillator and set unison to 4 voices with slight detune. Route it through the Acid ladder filter in LP4 mode with Drive at 3 o'clock and Envelope modulation around 20—this smears formants into brass-like overtones. Add a Diffuser at 30% wet for early-reflection stab tightness, then slam OTT at 50% depth to glue the harmonics into a club-ready poke that cuts through a rolling mix.
