Pricing and Availability
Serum 2 is available now with an intro price of $189 USD (normally $249). It’s a free upgrade for existing Serum owners.
Jeez Richard really went at this demo
That was very sick!
Ohhhhh cool to see this – I wonder how it’s comparing with phase plant now
…. Or if a better comparison is minimal’s current? Either way it’s a great time to be playing with soft synths!
Does Serum support MPE?
Since 2019
I’ve seen a few grumbles about Serum lagging behind lately. This update pushes it back to the forefront. The Multisample oscillator in particular amps it up a lot. Steve Duda is a seriously creative player. Its excellent work.
Now, that’s a VST that should be put in a box.
