    Presets are made for both Serum and Vital. Plus, Vital is free so it isn't an issue anyway, even installing doesn't take much storage.

    But there is also no need for it if you already have Serum and that is what this guy asked for. You wouldn't ask for a "Vital guru" to make you a Serum patch.

    I don't understand the point of this anyway @ op. You want a preset like someone else's synth patch (which is probably someone else's preset anyway), made by yet some other person. In a synth plugin that also can use wavetables and now much larger samples in the new sampler oscillator. Then since you ask for 1:1, get a preset that is super close and dick around with the details.

    At least if you use ChatGPT or Other AI it will show you the steps so you can actually learn something from doing it. Stem separate it first, upload it and it will tell you. Convert the newly separated wav file and then extract midi from it so you can play it back and tweak it while matching it to the waveform you got from separation.

    Sound Analysis
    Upon listening to your WAV file, the sound exhibits characteristics of a vocal-like texture with a choppy, rhythmic quality. It appears to be a processed vocal sample, possibly from a spoken word or vocal chop, with noticeable formant shifts and spectral movement.

    Recreating the Sound in Serum
    To replicate this sound in Serum, follow these steps:

    1. Import the WAV File as a Wavetable
    • Drag and Drop: Simply drag your WAV file into Serum's wavetable editor. Serum will analyze the audio and create a wavetable from it.

      Note: Ensure your WAV file is in a supported format (e.g., 16-bit, 44.1kHz, uncompressed). If you encounter issues, consider converting the file using a tool like Audacity.
    2. Adjust Wavetable Position and Morphing
    • Wavetable Position: Set the WT Pos to a point where the vocal texture is prominent.

    • Morphing Mode: Experiment with different morphing modes (e.g., Spectral, Crossfade) to achieve the desired smoothness or choppiness in the sound.
    3. Apply Unison and Detune
    • Unison: Set the Unison to around 4-8 voices to thicken the sound.

    • Detune: Adjust the Detune to add width and movement.
    4. Utilize the Noise Oscillator
    • Noise Oscillator: Load a noise sample that complements the vocal texture (e.g., Vinyl Noise or Analog Noise).

    • Blend: Mix the noise oscillator with the main wavetable to add texture and richness.
    5. Set Up Filters
    • Filter Type: Choose a Low Pass or Band Pass filter to shape the tonal quality.

    • Cutoff and Resonance: Adjust the Cutoff to control the brightness and the Resonance to emphasize certain frequencies.
    6. Modulate with Envelopes and LFOs
    • Envelope 1: Assign it to control the Filter Cutoff for dynamic movement.

    • LFO 1: Use it to modulate the Wavetable Position or Pitch for rhythmic variation.
    7. Add Effects
    • Reverb: Apply a subtle Reverb to add space.

    • Delay: Use a Delay with a short feedback time to enhance the rhythmic aspect.

    • Distortion: Light Distortion can add warmth and character.
    ️ Additional Tips
    • Spectral Morphing: If the wavetable sounds too choppy, enable Spectral Morphing to smooth transitions between frames.

    • Formant Shifts: To replicate formant shifts, automate the WT Pos or use an LFO to modulate it.

    • Pitch Modulation: For pitch variations, assign an LFO to the Pitch parameter.

    It's basically what they often call an "outrun" bass, but one octave up.
    In Serum , you could start with a saw-based wavetable (analog, classic shapes), add a lowpass filter, punch in the envelope for cutoff, and optionally morph in a vocal-like wavetable if you want that formant flavor letting it come out with the Filter 1 cutoff.

    You can pick between serum and vital. Just trying to help.
