Serum 2

Advanced Hybrid Synthesizer

✨ Lifetime Free Updates

WHY SERUM?

The original motivation for creating Serum was to have a dream synthesizer that did not 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.

Serum version 2 blasts the sonic palette wide-open, offering the user ridiculous power, control and expression over their sonic output - with many oscillator types, flexible effect routing, arpeggiator and clip sequencer - the goal with Serum 2 was to empower Serum users to fully realize their sound and music ideas into form. Did we mention that Serum 2 is a free upgrade for Serum 1 owners? Lifetime free updates actually means lifetime free updates.

MULTIPLE OSCILLATOR TYPES

WAVETABLE OSCILLATOR

Serum's now legendary Wavetable Oscillator has been refined with additional flexibility. Smooth Interpolation mode allows for near-infinite frame positions in the wavetable (no morph needed). There is filtering, FM, PD, ring mod, distortions and new wavetable warps. Even we have yet to fully explore the outer reaches of what can be achieved by the dual warps available for any of the main oscillator types.

MULTISAMPLE OSCILLATOR

Enables replication of real instruments and sounds found elsewhere. Serum 2 ships with a massive, exclusive, and original library of real instruments recorded around the world, including orchestra, choir, pianos, guitars, and much more. Create or import your own from multisample recordings using the (open standard and human-readable) sfz file format.

SAMPLE OSCILLATOR

Despite the simple premise of playing back a sample, the Sample oscillator packs a punch. Despite being really good for sample playback and offering FM/PD/Distortion types, the sample oscillator also offers looping with snap loop detection, flexible loop modulation, a Rate control for 'tape stop' effects and similar, sample slicing with realtime score extraction / playback and tails mode, and more.

GRANULAR OSCILLATOR

Serum 2 adds a powerful Granular Oscillator which despite the small look packs a host of sophisticated features, allowing you to experiment in a wide range of ways of creating new sound / breathing new life into sample material.

SPECTRAL OSCILLATOR

The Spectral Oscillator allows for realtime resynthesis of samples at the harmonic level, and transient detection processing similar to that found in advanced timestretching algorithms enables you to shape time and frequencies in radical ways.
