Xfer Records Serum 2 v2.0.16 [WiN]

The legendary synthesizer evolves – pushing the boundaries of sound design with unprecedented power, flexibility, and sonic clarity.

Serum transformed the landscape of software synthesis when it launched, setting new standards for sound quality and workflow. Now, Serum 2 takes this revolutionary platform to new heights – expanding its sonic palette with multiple oscillator types, enhanced effects routing, and deeper creative tools while maintaining the visual workflow and pristine audio quality that made the original a legend.

And yes, Serum 2 is a FREE upgrade for all Serum 1 owners. When we say lifetime free updates, we mean it.

A Dream Synthesizer Reborn

The original vision for Serum was to create the wavetable synthesizer that didn’t exist – one with truly exceptional sound quality, visual feedback that actually helps you understand what you’re hearing, and deep editing capabilities that don’t sacrifice workflow.

Serum 2 builds on this foundation by dramatically expanding the sonic possibilities while keeping the intuitive interface that made sound design fun instead of tedious. The result is an instrument that can produce virtually any sound imaginable – from hyper-realistic acoustic emulations to otherworldly textures never before heard.
