Maybe ask Steve?

Dave Gamble from DMG audio is in development of synth too

 

1 hour of testing Xfer Serum 2 Beta at a glance
(Sorry for my quick translation from Russian):

• Sound has changed. Sound can't be nulled between two same instances, like it was before with Serum v1
• No more boring bullshit from controlling Modular
• 3 full oscs and sub osc, got better
• A shitload of new wavetables
• custom wavetables now can be copied into preset
• Oscillators now have their own direct out
• Per voice phase-randomization with their own adjustments, settings for each voice
• Unison is now super cool sounding! Not that shit as before! and has tons of settings
• now it has Sampler, Granular, Multisample (round-robin a la Kontakt libraries), spectral synthesis. Sampler has slicer!
• filter section updated, more adjustment, routing
• twice more warp modes in oscs
• two warp modules, it has morphing between them
• 15 filters or so
• fully customizable noise generator, not just sample..
• LFO has two mode: Chaos и Path. New level of randomization
• LFO Envelope randomization.
• LFO editor has its own window now.
• Envelope can be depended to BPM
• 10 LFOs
• 8 Macros now, and there can be changed MSEG.
• better drag n drop of LFO

• Endless instances of FX, and you can use 1 type of FX several times (5 distortions, for example)
• frequency splitter in fx
• convolve and bode are now two new fx
• equaliser now with frequency analyser
• fx chains can be saved and loaded.
•Send / Return channel (Bus), fx parallel processing
• Clip mode - built-in sequencer with recording and other LIVE features
• Arp mode - arpeggiator with tons of settings!
• binding to the key (tonality) and swing
• preset browser now has tags and preset preview. No Similarity like in Pigments.

• serum1 presets support. Serum2 has its own support.
• serum 2 can be installed alongside serum 1
• same performance, not better, not worse, not faster, not slower
• free update for serum 1 user.
And moooooore

 

holy shit

 

never understood the hype for serum, such outdated sounds

 

It's a real shame that you don't get more Osc like with Phase Plant. I hope that it will be a bit better in the future. It's probably just a few small things that are being corrected so that the serum is completely finished in the end. I had imagined it differently, that like Phase Plant you have more wavetables and a small AI function...but I think these things are completely sufficient for a synth.

 

Are people that own Serum 1 randomly selected for testing? Those features sound very promising. Hope it's coming very soon!

 

Nobody knows what is there. I just made a shitty translate from the words of Serum 2 betatester. I can send a link on youtube, i didn't watched, but at glance there was the new features reviewwd, no sounds. Have no time. Maybe there are sounds. Will watch later. Let's wait and will test by ourselves later. Maybe it is better than a raw changelog above..

 

Youtube i have never see that? on this

 

Here, he just describes in Russian what is new, features, greatest improvements, fixes etc. He doesn't show new serum 2 GUI. No permission from Steve. So, for you, non-Russian speakers, it is a useless video, sorry. Let's wait. . .
Video picture spoiler: blurred Serum 2?

 

Is the GUI similar to Serum 1 or has it changed?

 

lol what? besides lacking granular, its a pretty powerful synth. you need to learn better sound design techniques!

 

NDA....

 

Glad to hear that, I bought serum a month ago and would feel so dumb if that was not the case

 

Said the one who uses Sylenth1.

 

Can someone at least post a screenshot of the main frame? I'm not asking for installers. I've seen leaks on VK, but they're cropped. I'd really appreciate it if any of you could upload a proper screenshot—it would be amazing!

 

All I want to know is how close we are to the finish line. Is it this week, this month or this spring? Please don't hype it up, if the release is still far ahead

 

Hyped for Serum 2 but also hyped for Dave Gamble to get back to developing DMG plugins lol

 

Could you PM the serum installer please
