How to Open the Acid Cutoff With Velocity in Serum

Make sure to always use this trick in your acid techno: the top notes at max velocity, with the velocity mapped to the cutoff.

My notes from this Short

01

Max velocity on the accented offbeats

Here's a normal loop. First I take the top notes and the accented offbeat notes and put the velocity all the way to the max. You want the acid cutoff to open up on these higher velocity notes.

02

Velocity mapped to the cutoff knob

In Serum you can map the velocity to the cutoff knob. Now if the velocity goes up, the cutoff changes.

Play around with this and change the velocity, so you increase the power of your acid sequence.
