What's New in Serum 2?
Serum 2 boasts a redesigned oscillator section, adding multisample, granular, and spectral oscillators alongside the enhanced wavetable oscillator. This expands sonic possibilities dramatically, allowing for realistic instrument emulation, experimental textures, and real-time harmonic resynthesis. The improved wavetable oscillator itself features new warp modes, phase distortion, and dual warp functions.
Beyond oscillators, Serum 2 offers a revamped effects section with flexible routing, a powerful new arpeggiator and clip sequencer for rhythmic creativity, and an expanded LFO engine with more shapes and four additional macro controls. The updated interface makes workflow even more intuitive. The update also includes 626 new presets and 288 wavetables, adding massive amounts of fresh inspiration.
