I made sure its not a flanger/phaser/chorus issue etc I have no FX turned on, I have an LFO moving the wavetable every 1/4 and it should give me a continuous sound but the harmonics seems to change slightly every time it repeats the note.

Anyone else have this issue?

that could be dependent on the software at hand.

I've experienced similar effects when using reason, and it emulates analogue circuitry.

That being said, and with a little bit of digging into the analogue world, oscillators weren't always in pitch 100 percent of the time. they get out of tune over time.

I don't know if serum has certain wavetables that emulate that or if it's the synthesizer itself.


I don't think you should be to concerned with it, and if you do, bounce to audio because that's a surefire way to keep the sound exactly like it is.


or there's something wrong with your synth....not sure, it could go either way.

I figured it out!

On the phase area under the both OSC I had the random set to max. Put those to zero and the sound stays constant. Derp.

nice, remember what you did. it could be a cool effect if you're looking for something experimental.

I'm glad you worked it out, OP.  Another thing that can cause this is the LFO mode.  With your example, if it's not on 'Trig' or 'Env' mode, the wavetable position will not be consistent at the start of each note.
I don't step aside. I step up.
