The dream synthesizer did not seem to exist: a wavetable synthesizer with a truly high-quality sound, visual and creative workflow-oriented interface to make creating and altering sounds fun instead of tedious, and the ability to “go deep” when desired - to create / import / edit / morph wavetables, and manipulate these on playback in real-time.
Based on our record, Serum should be more popular than ChucK. It has been mentiond 30 times since March 2021. We are tracking product recommendations and mentions on various public social media platforms and blogs. They can help you identify which product is more popular and what people think of it.
What matters though is choosing a good synthesizer. I personally use Serum (~190$) for most things, since it's easy to use and has a big community with a lot of free and paid presets. Source: 9 months ago
One of the problems I am currently facing is having a large lookup table. I want to have a large set of predefined sound waves that can be manipulated like programs such as Serum. Is this still possible with an MC instead of an MCU? (Calculating the waves in real-time instead of using a lookup table might be too computationally intensive for most budget options).

You'll have to find some other alternative for your Text-to-speech needs. Serum has a basic speech synth, Vital uses Amazon's TTS solution, and you'll find plenty more with a quick google search. Source: about 1 year ago
You can also download Vital for wavetable emulation. https://www.discodsp.com/obxd/ You can also buy Serum https://xferrecords.com/products/serum for I think $190 or get it off Splilce for $10 a month until you pay it off. Source: about 1 year ago
Then all the synths are serum, in previous projects I have used magical 8 bit and tb_peach. Source: about 1 year ago
Check out ChucK also (https://chuck.cs.princeton.edu/). It's a very capable language and we'll documented. Source: about 1 year ago
I am a programmer by trade but don't often combine it with my musical endeavors. I briefly messed with https://chuck.cs.princeton.edu/ for live coding shows in college but honestly its very restrictive. Source: over 1 year ago
Also, a programming language geared towards music can help with process-driven composition. Max/MSP or ChucK for instance. Source: about 2 years ago
I haven't coded music in haskell, but I've coded it in Max/MSP and ChucK and I enjoyed them both https://chuck.cs.princeton.edu/ https://cycling74.com/products/max. - Source: Hacker News / over 2 years ago
