    Three options here. Jealousy, trolling, or you are actually this much of a fool. You are better off with either of the first two.

    What does this picture suppose to say?:) Does possession of a modular wall worth $300-500k make Zimerman music good or original? Decent musician? Certainly not

    When a Clown moves into a Palace, he doesn't become a King. The Palace becomes a Circus.

    Anyways, Serum 2.0 will be a free update for Serum owners.

    Naturally since Serum2 is more powerful some people will probably prefer Serum1. I can't even look at Serum1 now, but there is something to be said for old, comfortable shoes.

    Steve was thinking of implementing a routing page or mixer on Serum II[​IMG]

    Massive X by NI didn’t quite meet the expectations of many professional musicians, unlike the original Massive, which was a groundbreaking success and I believe it is still widely used by EDM producers.

    One thing that I have noticed is that Native Instruments keeps adding new presets for both "Massive" and "Monark" in almost all of their Maschine Expansion packs, proving their ongoing use in both Hip-Hop and EDM genres.

    With Serum 2 on the horizon, I can’t help but wonder if it’ll manage to break the "sequel curse" or face the same fate as Massive X.

    I've been asking myself the same thing, and whether it still outshines the other synths like: vital, current, Nexus, FM 8, Phase Plant and massive x, and the other wavetable synth, and what makes xfer serum 2 so special.

    I think we live in a time now where we have almost everything in terms of VST synths and the wavetable synth hasn't really grown yet, there may be a few corrections,

    we've just got a few new KI. It would also be good to see them in serum, otherwise I'd feel old and would use it like an old analog synth with lots of controls like the old NI Massive. I just hope that we'll get the end boss level 100 that has everything that's better than Phase Plant, something like a separate DAW connected to a synth or something like the Nexus 5, I'm excited and I'm also very excited about the serum 2

    I would also like to add the "Minimal Audio - Current 2 VSTi" which can do almost everything and is a serious competitor for all wavetable synthesizers.

    Whatever most ppl say, wavetable oriented synths have their own sound engine character.
    Even with the most basic waveform, i hate Vital, Massive (X) but i love Serum.

    May be filters, may be there is some saturation undergoing ... don't know.
    Serum can cover a lot of grounds. And i love his sound engine specific sound.
    It covers so much it replaced most synths on my side.

    Even if i still use Spire, Virus TI emulation, Microwave XT emu ...

    Everyone hears and feels differently and that's a good thing because it's always about variety. For example, I don't like Pigments at all and I didn't think NI Massive was that great either. Vital sounds pretty good to me - but I created my own presets and only play my own presets.
    You @ItsFine are a Serum type.

    Only thing I wish from Serum 2 is a updated preset browser, and maybe a third OSC. I don't know if it's possible to optimize it further but the first instance of Serum takes ages to load if you have ton of presets. That's a problem only for hoarders I guess lol so I'm also to blame :rofl:

    You know where the delete button is.

    An old saying goes: "Less is often more" or something else you can think about while you're out walking is: "Quality over quantity"!

    I do not really understand the need for 20K in presets for one synth. That is a ton and I do have a few synths like that but it really is excessive for most. You will end up with so many patches that are very similar to one another.

    Couldn't you just make folders with a bunch of full packs inside them, and just move them outside of /serum presets when you aren't using those? The wavetables and noises are used in so many presets, the majority of scanning time is caused by the fxp files. It doesn't really serve a purpose or speed anything up to have them all installed at once. They take seconds to put back.
