You can display help for any control (such as a knob) by hovering the mouse pointer over the control and pausing for a moment.

For example, hovering over a regular control displays a tooltip similar to the one shown here.

This allows you to see information about a particular control or feature without having to open this manual.

Important: The Help tooltips global preference needs to be set to SHOW for tooltips to appear. Tooltips are enabled by default when you first install Serum.

Refer to “Exploring Global Settings” for more information about modifying global preferences.

Hovering the mouse pointer over a control that has modulation assigned displays the modulation sources.

For example, hovering the mouse over the CUTOFF knob shows that LFO 3 and ENV 2 are assigned to modulate the filter cutoff.
