Serum has been a staple synth for electronic producers for years, and Serum 2 widens it a lot. Each of its three main oscillators can run as wavetable, sample, multisample, granular or spectral, so one patch can blend a classic wavetable sweep with a grainy texture and a real instrument layer. The visual workflow that made the first version popular is still here.

Key Features

  • Three oscillators, each with wavetable, sample, granular and spectral modes
  • Two filter units that can run in series or parallel with flexible routing
  • Modular effects rack where you can reorder and repeat effects freely
  • Built in arpeggiator and clip sequencer for patterns that play themselves
  • Large factory library with hundreds of presets and wavetables to start from

How to Download

  1. Visit the vendor page to Download from the official site and choose the demo or buy a license.
  2. Run the Mac installer and select the plugin formats your host supports.
  3. Open your music app, load Serum 2 on a track and activate it with your account.

System Requirements

Serum 2 runs as a 64 bit VST3, AU or AAX plugin inside a compatible host on macOS. It needs a modern Mac with enough CPU headroom, since granular and spectral patches can be demanding during busy sessions.

FAQs

Is Serum 2 a free upgrade?

Yes, for people who already own Serum 1. The vendor offers Serum 2 as a free upgrade for existing Serum 1 license holders.

Can I try it before buying?

Yes. A demo is available from the vendor. It runs the full plugin but limits each session, so you can judge the sound first.

Do my Serum 1 presets still work?

Yes. Serum 1 presets are compatible with Serum 2 and show up in its preset browser, though Serum 2 presets cannot load in Serum 1.
