Read on and see for yourself (and if you don’t have Serum but want to check it out, you can get a 3 day free trial here ). Jan 22, 2017 I use both Logic and Ableton. I'm currently undecided with which one to go with - so I use both. In this video I explain what goes on in my head and why i've been using both during. Progressive House — the genre that perfectly blends club energy with melodic vibes. Although Progressive House has been around for a while now, listening to recent Progressive tracks by Martin Garrix, Avicii, and others, show how much more potential there is. Adding Serum into Ableton Install Serum from the Splice desktop client (Windows users need to take note of the installation destination, by default under the User’s Documents folder). To get Serum up and running in Ableton you need to check Ableton's AU/VST settings.

#1. Customize your default Serum instance

Click on the triangle next to the wrench to pull up the VST/AU configuration panel.
Once you click “Configure,” any parameter you click on inside Serum will map to the macro controls. Here’s some of the parameters I chose:
Macros 1-4, Wave table position for Oscillator A & B, Filter Frequency and Portamento
This is especially helpful when you have a MIDI controller and want to quickly manipulate Serum’s parameters.
Lastly, map the X-Y pad to 2 of the parameters we selected. I chose Macro 1 and Macro 2. Then, right click on the device title bar and select “Save as Default.”

#2. Use Instrument Racks to save your favorite Serum presets
Select the Serum device title bar and hit CMD+G. This will turn Serum into an Instrument rack which you can save by hitting the floppy disk icon at the bottom left. I prefer naming these as “SRM – Example.” This way, I can use Ableton’s powerful search to find my Serum presets quickly.
A best practice is to save your default Serum instance inside an Instrument Rack named “srm.” That way, when you want to add a new instance of Serum all you have to do is hit CMD+F, then type “srm.”
#3. Take a screenshot of your MIDI patterns and use them as wavetables in Serum.
Take a screenshot of your Ableton set, then drag the screenshot into Serum’s wavetable window. This is easier if you add your “Desktop” as a shortcut in your “Places” inside the browser. If you take a screenshot of Serum itself, then it’s like Serum Inception.
#4. Add Serum parameters into automation lanes
Dedicating automation lanes to Serum’s parameters gives you more real estate on your screen for automation.
You can also click on the plus icon near the track title bar.
#5. Resample Serum into itself
First right click on the Serum track title bar and click “Freeze Track.” Once it’s frozen, add a new audio track using CMD+T. Lastly, OPTION+Drag the Serum midi clip to the audio track.
These are five of my favorites, but I know it’s not all of them. Have any hacks that I missed? Drop them in the comments!
