Xfer Serum

Xfer Serum Overview

The original motivation for creating Serum was the desire to create a dream synth that didn’t exist yet:
a wavetable synth with truly high-quality sound, a workflow-focused visual and creative interface to make creating and modifying sounds fun rather than tedious, and the ability to “dive deep” when needed – create/import/edit/transform wavetables and manipulate them while playing back in real time. Serum opens up the sonic palette in a big way, offering the user incredible power, control and sonic expressiveness – with multiple oscillator types, flexible effects customization, an arpeggiator and clip sequencer – the goal of Serum 2 was to give Serum users the ability to fully realize their sonic and musical ideas into form. Did we mention that Serum 2 is a free update for Serum 1 owners? Lifetime free updates actually mean lifetime free updates.
