more oscillator types, spectral, granular, and multisampler.
Second filter + additional filter types, including some nasty ones
Additional oscillator FX, with some crazy ones, especially in spectral mode
a clip launcher, and arp sequencer, seems cool, but need to dig in more and think of some use cases
new modulation types and options, with a ton of customization.
New FX types and improvements
A pretty in depth mixer with sends / busses.
Im sure there's more, that's just what ive discovered. I havent watched any videos or read the manual

 

lots of this stuff looks n5 influenced.

 

And Uhe is still playing with spline envelopes, ~10 years..

 

For sure, maybe they took some influence with the arp and clips, and multi sample. Still find Serum to be a few steps above Nexus tho. I love Nexus, it has some great presets, but i find sound design in it cumbersome, of course, you couldnt even really design anything until recently, but still. Serum's modulation options and matrix are just top notch. Super simple, just drag and drop and tweak the curves with ease. The oscillator types and FX, the weird filter types, etc. Just such a great synth. We'll see if they start releasing 8000 gig expansions of multi sampled presets, which if they do, i will purchase or download none lol.

 

the gui interface looks better than serum 1. i will defintly test this new release version

 

my eyes are glued to the sister site lol, I can't even find where to buy it everything is down.

 

They've also fully revamped the browser thank god. Can finally organize and browse in an efficient way.

 

I guess I'm not testing the new version then lmao, just tried to login to Xfer and got that error

 

Not really a lot of people doesn’t like the cold sound sound of serum and this high resolution make the sound too clean for me .. pigment make sound I prefer as serum more organic and realistic analog .. if you want an analog feeling serum is not the right synth

 

Yay, more distorted waves coming our way

 

Not sure if answered already, but is the number of presets in the drop-downs expanded at all? I think they were limited to something like 57 or something random like that before, meaning you'd have to manually split some preset packs into sub-folders to be able to access them all. Just wondering if this has been increased at all?

 

Therefor i have the Softtube Synths. In Combination with the Clean Serum its a perfect Match.

 

Try VPN. Wasn't working with my clean ip too.

 

I liked how in the deadma5 masterclass video, he hooks up his 90k modular and serum making sine waves and is like "you can hear the difference, right?". Maybe in the room, but it's a shared mp4 video.

 

Have they fixed the awful preset browser/system? *rescanning*

 

if you have Serum 1 no matter which source. You should be able to register it and have access to version 2

 

The Serum is very high-quality and clear. You can also edit the sound using FX plug-ins, saturation, tape warmer, EQ, etc., so you can add a little more analog warmth to the final signal. The video below provides a few tips.

The Sylenth One and the Vital have exceptionally sophisticated algorithms, which is why they both sound so good. It's all down to the power and intelligence of the code writers. Here's an excerpt from an interview: Source: www.amazona.de/interview-lennar-digital/

AMAZONA: Hello Lennar, the Sylenth seems to be based on extremely sophisticated algorithms. Have you been involved in other audio projects, or did you first acquire your DSP knowledge for the Sylenth?

Lennar: I've worked on many audio and DSP projects for Siemens VDO and the University of Twente (Holland). These mainly involved equalizer filters for automotive multimedia. I've also worked on scientific research projects involving active multi-channel noise reduction.

AMAZONA: So you have a solid background! Despite its good sound, the Sylenth is very frugal in terms of CPU consumption. What's your opinion on the CPU consumption of similar software? Do the programmers responsible perhaps not know how to achieve such good performance, or are they not given the time by management to optimize the code accordingly?

Lennar: Well, first of all, it seems that it's mainly the large companies that obviously don't pay enough attention to code optimization. It simply costs time, and as we all know, time is money! And they want to keep the code as platform-independent as possible. If you're highly optimized for an OS, it's harder to port it, which in turn means more work -> time and -> money.

How to make XFER SERUM sound like any ANALOG SYNTH

 

im glad bought Serum at full price many years ago. today, its worth more than i pay, on a plugin how can be it?
my man, Steve is LEGEND!

 

too early to say as there aren't that many presets yet.
For the 600 factory presets and my S1 13000 presets it took 5 seconds to scan on a SSD.
