Unleash Your Sonic Potential with the New Serum 2 Release
The wait is over—Serum 2 is here, and it’s set to revolutionize your sound design experience. Building on the legacy of its predecessor, Serum 2 expands the sonic palette like never before, offering an unparalleled level of power, control, and creative freedom. Whether you’re a seasoned producer or just starting out, the new features in Serum 2 will elevate your productions and inspire a new wave of musical exploration.
A Dream Synth Reimagined
Originally, Serum was conceived as a dream synthesizer—a wavetable synth that combined pristine sound quality with an intuitive, visually engaging workflow. The goal was simple: make sound creation fun, not tedious, and empower producers to dive deep into sound design. With Serum 2, Xfer Records has taken this vision to the next level by transforming the synth into a multi-engine powerhouse that seamlessly integrates advanced synthesis methods with user-friendly controls.

Revolutionary Oscillator Engines
Serum 2 doesn’t just refine its legendary wavetable engine—it redefines it. Here’s what’s new:
- Multi-Sample & Sample Oscillators: Create realistic instrument replications with classic sampler functions. Enjoy advanced looping, flexible loop modulation, and sample slicing with real-time score extraction.
- Granular Oscillator: Stretch, fragment, and morph your sounds, opening up new realms of sonic texture.
- Spectral Oscillator: Import samples, wavetables, or even PNG images to create visually intuitive spectral representations. Manipulate these visuals with innovative warp modes and custom-drawn spectral filters.
These additions empower you to mold your sound in ways that were once unimaginable, ensuring every note you play is rich, dynamic, and full of character.

Enhanced Modulation, Routing & Effects
Creativity flourishes with flexibility. Serum 2’s revamped modulation section includes:
- New LFO Modes: Enjoy advanced options such as Path mode—where you can draw custom modulation curves on an XY pad—as well as chaos modes and sample & hold generators for wild, organic movement.
- Expanded Macro Controls: With four additional macros, you now have eight in total to sculpt your sound with precision.
These upgrades not only enhance sound design but also streamline your workflow, allowing you to create and manipulate soundscapes with ease and efficiency.

Overhauled Mixing Workflow
A brand-new mixer section provides dedicated channels for each oscillator, filter, and bus, giving you granular control over your mix. The effects section now boasts features like M/S and L/H splitting and a convolution reverb with ready-to-use impulse responses—plus, the ability to load your own.

Integrated Arpeggiator & Clip Sequencer
Serum 2 takes performance and creativity further with an all-new arpeggiator and clip sequencer. With 12 slots available to store custom patterns, you can:
- Draw Your Own Sequences: Whether you’re into classic piano roll style or innovative pattern-based approaches, the sequencer adapts to your creative needs.
- Dynamic Parameter Automation: Each pattern can host its own set of parameter automations, giving you the freedom to switch between complex configurations on the fly.
- Live Performance Ready: The ability to trigger different slots by pressing keys makes live experimentation not just possible, but inspiring.
This integration turns Serum 2 into a dynamic performance tool—perfect for those moments when spontaneity meets creativity.
