Description:
When we initially created Serum, our goal was to have a dream synthesizer that didn’t exist: a wavetable synthesizer with truly high-quality sound, a visual and creative interface focused on workflow, so that creating and modifying sounds is fun rather than tedious, and with the ability to “dive deeper” into the process if desired – creating, importing, editing and transforming wavetables, as well as manipulating them during playback in real time.
Serum version 2 opens up a wide range of audio capabilities, offering incredible power, control, and expressiveness—numerous oscillator types, flexible effects routing, an arpeggiator, and a clip sequencer. Serum 2 is designed to empower Serum users to fully realize their sonic and musical visions. Did we mention that Serum 2 is a free update for Serum 1 owners? Lifetime free updates are truly free.
