The write-up is pretty enticing.
I've long wanted a VST with less of an artefact presence.

Thx for the heads-up.

The only one audio demo I saw was fun. I'd like a new synth too. Maybe, just maybe...

Sounds great so far, CPU use is relatively low as well.


Posted by PaULiN0 on Sep-23-2014 05:46:

Neat, love the gui. Will try this.

That video in the updated OP is awesome.


Posted by PaULiN0 on Sep-23-2014 11:19:

Yeah its badass.

No arp/step sequencer is a real shame.

I hope they add one in the future.

Oh no, now I am going to have a hard time deciding whether to get Serum or the Komplete 10 update.


Posted by PaULiN0 on Sep-23-2014 12:44:

Serum all dee way.


Posted by Mel David on Sep-23-2014 12:54:

Do I need iLok for this?


Posted by PaULiN0 on Sep-23-2014 13:39:

Nope, just serial protected.

looks cool and sounds really good - probably intended for the dubstep market but could be nice for FX type stuff

I don't think it is tbh, just a lot of the wavetables were created by people who are into dubstep.

The unison is so (Virus) good that it could be just as intended for tarnceh!


Posted by PaULiN0 on Sep-23-2014 21:06:

I could really get down messing with those wave forms and make some really cool ambient stuff.

i think people who make sound effects for sci-fi movies are going to love this

Dammit, I thought this was a thread on skincare


Posted by SystematicX1 on Sep-24-2014 06:54:

130.00$ US till October 29th..
It is a STEAL!

Went on a 'fuck it' spree and bought it

I demo'ed it the past few days and it really is a fun synth. it's fun because of the ability to modify and modulate anything, it's definitely massive-esque in that regard. it does seem that most of the factory waveforms are geared toward dubstep, to be honest I wasn't impressed with most of the factory waveforms. mainly because even though they have some unique waveforms too, a large percentage of the waveforms are unusable imo.

what really got my attention was: the sound quality is nice, the wavetable index morphing is impressive and the ability to import your own waveforms. not only that, but you get alot of control over customizing the individual frames within the wavetable index. this synth definitely fills a good niche. the demo times out after 20 min's then you have to reload the instance. those 20 min's seemed to fly by cuz it's fun to program this synth

looks sick good for some deep ambion

Gotta agree with this sum up

I can't help the niggling feeling that this version of serum is deliberately crippled in some regards so they can roll out some 'wow' updates in the future.

There's plenty of scope for some awesome sound design as it stands, but why no second filter on the synth page, why no second layer like sylenth, synthmaster etc, why no step sequencer? Those additions seem too obvious given the clearly obsessive attention to detail that's gone into the plugin elsewhere.

Isn't there a dual filter? (Can't check atm due to reformatting my computer)

Perhaps, but even so I'd rather have two discreet filters for serial/parallel duties. That becomes even more useful when you have two separate synth layers to work with and you can feed different layers to different filters to do different things.
