How to Make an Industrial Techno Screech in Serum 2

I start with a saw wave and immediately add envelope 2 to the coarse pitch to get a pitch effect. I add around eight voices, it doesn't really matter, and just a lot of detune.

It does matter to take down the width, so the voices can phase together better when we add a lot of distortion. Then add Zero Square, all the way.

We can use LFO 1 on the Lorenz chaos mode and add that to the coarse pitch. I change it to hertz, times 10, to go even faster, and I can increase the amount if I have to. It makes it very screechy.

Then we just need a filter. Something like the Band 24 is a bit too raw for me, so I take down the mix to focus on the mids. I add envelope 2 to the cutoff so it moves down with the pitch.

In the mixer we just need some very basic tweaking. Reduce the lows a little bit, add a normal delay, and reverb on hall mode with a high size, a lot of decay and a lot of spin rate, so the reverb is a bit more chaotic.

The icing on the cake is the compressor on multiband. Take down the downwards compression and open up the upwards compression with below. This adds a lot of brightness and that in your face character.
