      @@liorsilverstein9802 No, big big no. Yes, more powerful gear can help, but it's not the end all be all, especially not in these days of abundant cpu power that can do just about everything you want at once - if you know what you're doing.
      And this whole video is a good example of "knowing what you're doing". Instead of using the simpleton brute force method of stacking more and ever more voices, he uses one plus the chaos modulation trick - which saves a lot of CPU time while sounding much better at the same time.
      Getting serious with your music isn't about spending big moneys, it's about learning how to use what you have most efficiently. And every run off the mill 500 moneys PC these days offers more than enough for everything you could ever want to do.

      Edit: Also you mean mapping the random oscillator in Vital to the lead oscillator? The sampler used to generate white noise in Vital can't be used as a modulation source. Also another limitation I found is that there's no "output" slider in Vital's matrix, so you may have to use the third oscillator as the "dry" signal for mixing in the noise oscillator signal

I used the white noise in the sampler for actual noise in the output. And yeah, since there were no "output" values in the matrix you just have to change the modulation strength.

    Chaos unison is part of what makes the eurorack module Mutable Instruments Plaits have such a nice supersaw in its grainswarm mode.
    Synth Tech E352 and other digital oscs from them also utilize chaos unison.
    I've actually seen it appear more in Eurorack than in VST's, even though it sounds amazing for supersaws and the likes. Which is why I was pleasantly surprised to see it make an appearance in Serum!

    This is going to save a lot of CPUs from catching fire one day. I love supersaw stacks, but when you layer a bunch of voices in each oscillator at the same time as well as playing chords, it's a lot on the CPU. Thanks for sharing this way.

    This is a really old technique I've seen used for decades. Except traditionally we normally just assign an LFO to the pitch of some or all oscillators and add a small amount of fast LFO to create a heavy detuned effect. I have couple of hardware supersaw videos on my channel where you can hear the technique used on some of my patches, specifically there is a hardstyle lead I made, you'll have to find it on my channel. I might try make some crazier leads with a more intense pitch modulation LFO this weekend and replicate this Serum type of lead. But this Serum lead sounds pretty wicked. Good job mate, thanks for showing us.
