almost forgot these absolute masterclass presets


you could also dive into serum 2's SFZ option in combination with converting free soundfonts into SFZ for more option that isnt strictly wavetable and spectral.

 

Also the new Sampler oscillator for regular wave samples instead of prepared wavetables.

Another tip about Presets. Each preset carries it's own Quality setting. Every time you select a new preset, it changes the global Quality setting to whatever is saved as part of the preset. If you do not want Serum at top level quality settings, when you are just writing parts and not rendering yet; go to Global menu. Change the Quality setting to the one you want to keep, and then hit the lock button.

Every "preset creator" is going to want you hearing their presets at top quality setting, and is not worried about your CPU usage at all. If you do not lock it where you want, you will not have control over this.

 

That´s what we talking about. We come closer. But not close enough.
Thank you genophyte. Tried this soundbank and a few free sfz Samples.
It´s pretty cool, that you can use all SFZ Samples with Serum.
Luckily i found this video, how to open SFZ Files:

I also found this Soundbank, where the Sound comes very close, to what i want:

BUT:
It´s still not the sound i´m hunting for, and my ears starts to hurt after 30 Minutes.
I really don´t know why.
There is something in Serum, my ears dont like.
I also miss that "Earcandy"
When i open the Filters, the sounds become very "Washed out" There is nothing "Dirty" or "Gritty" anymore.

Best Example i can give you is this video, from the Genious Bitwig God PolarityMusic: (PLEASE VOLUME DOWN!)

Do you hear the sounds, when it becomes slower at the end?
Don´t know how to describe. But my ears and my mind loves it. And my ears dont bleed after that, even this sequence is super chaos ^^

I also found this one today one reddit, and i super like it:

I´m very impressed from this (I don´t want to advertise Bitwig here, though i really love it)

So For my Ears, i really miss certain frequencies (Earcandys) in Serum2, also my ears starts to hurt after some time.
This definitly leads me to other Synths.

I really tried

EDIT:
More Examples i found on Youtube from the sound i like and which sounds pleasant to me:

BTW: I found this patch here and played it already in BW. It really sounds that nice

Okay, it starts to become Bitwig Advertising :D

Do you suffer when hearing a fork on a plate ?
Or similar sounds ?

Because what i hear on those examples is filtered out sound. It can be "gritty", but there is almost nothing above high mids.
Like a lot of "house" tracks.

I seen ppl (even my own mother) with some hearing loss on some frequencies AND hyper acusis on some other frequencies.
She couldn't stand forks hitting plates, as an example.

If so, just find a filter you love
